Ep. 240: Windup Watch Fair Discussions SF 22 with MK II
4 mei 2022 · 19 min
In the final installment of our Windup Watch Fair Discussions series, we have three great interviews with some of our favorite brand founders. The brands represented here run the gamut in terms of design and price point, and really feel like a cross section of where the micro-brand space is at this moment. Lees meer
Featured today we have an interview with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, a brand known for their incredible enamel dials, who debuted brand new cases at Windup this year. We’re also featuring an interview with Bill Yao, who runs both MK II and Tornek-Rayville. In this conversation, he articulates the key differences between his two brands, which should clear up any confusion among watch enthusiasts as to why there’s a need for both. Finally, we recorded an interview with Baltic’s Etienne Malec and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet. It was great to have these two in a room together to talk about their brands and where each is heading in the near future.
We hope you enjoyed our Windup Watch Fair Discussions podcasts over the course of the last week. If you missed any, you can find the first two batches here and here, or in the Worn & Wound feed on the podcast app of your choice.

Ep. 238: Windup Watch Fair Discussions SF 22 with Formex
29 april 2022 · 18 min
Earlier this week, we brought you a dispatch from the Windup Watch Fair in the form of a pair of interviews with Chase Francher of Oak & Oscar and Mike France and Jorg Bader of Christopher Ward. Today, we have two more conversations from the show, this time with Wes Kwok, co-founder of Nodus, and Raphael Granito, CEO of Formex. Lees meer
Nodus has become a firm presence in the enthusiast watch community over the past few years by putting a personal touch on their watches. They’re an L.A. brand through and through, and their brand really thrives on community involvement, so it was great to see them back at a Windup fair, interacting with fans both new and old. Formex presents an interesting contrast – they’re based in Switzerland and put a premium on novel case construction and manufacturing techniques, but are no less connected to the watch community, and it was similarly great to see the response to their newest watches from Windup attendees.
Keep your eyes on the Worn & Wound podcast feed, because we’ll be serving up another pair of interviews next week. The final installment will include an interview with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, followed by a chat with Etienne Malec and Guillaume Laidet of Baltic and Nivada-Grenchen, respectively.

Windup Watch Fair Discussions: Christopher Ward and Oak & Oscar
27 april 2022 · 1 uur 2 min
This week on the podcast, we’re doing something a little different. All week, we’ll be bringing you a series of conversations from the recent Windup Watch Fair in the great city of San Francisco. If you were following along on the blog and social media over the last few days, you already know that we hosted a ton of great brands and thousands of guests over three days at the Terra Gallery in San Francisco, and we didn’t miss the opportunity to sit down with as many brand owners and founders as we possibly could. Naturally, we recorded those conversations for posterity, and over the next week or so will be presenting them to you in podcast form, for your listening pleasure. Lees meer
Today, we’ve got two interviews to kick things off. First up, we’re talking to Chase Fancher, the founder of Oak & Oscar. Then we’ve got a great conversation with Christopher Ward CEO Mike France, along with Jorg Bader, who leads the product team at the brand.
Later in the week, we’ll be bringing you interviews with Lewis Heath of anOrdain, Raphael Granito of Formex, MK II’s Bill Yao, Wes Kwok of Nodus, Baltic’s Etienne Malec, and Nivada-Grenchen’s Guillaume Laidet. If you’re subscribed to the Worn & Wound podcast feed already, be sure to check it regularly, as we’ll be publishing the rest of our interviews soon.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 235: Reddit, Tacos, and Roger Dubuis
20 april 2022 · 53 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the gang’s all here to talk about our recent AMA on the r/watches sub on Reddit. Last week, the editorial team had the chance to field your questions on watches, trade shows, tacos (yes, tacos) and a whole lot more, and on today’s episode we’re tying up loose ends, returning to answer some additional questions, and getting our own Ed Jelley’s take on many of the hot-button issues that were covered. This is a truly wide ranging conversation that runs the gamut, which is quite simply a result of the fantastic questions we were asked during the AMA. Naturally, we continue the ongoing conversation on big new releases like the Tudor Black Bay Pro, but we also dive into more esoteric topics, like our feelings on celebrity ambassadors, favorite reviews from the Worn & Wound archive, and Producer Josh’s hat collection.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 234: the MoonSwatch, our Favorite Bell & Ross Ever, and Watches & Wonders Loose Ends
13 april 2022 · 55 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the editorial team is back from Geneva, and we’re tying up loose ends. Remember the MoonSwatch? It seems (to us, at least) like a million years ago that the Omega x Swatch collaboration broke the internet, but really it’s just been a few weeks. In all the Watches & Wonders hysteria, we never even discussed it on mic. Well, that’s rectified in this week’s episode. Also, right in the middle of the show, Bell & Ross (not a Watches & Wonders participant) released one of our absolute favorite watches of the year, a crazy “multimeter” chronograph in black ceramic. Can you read it? Not really. But it’s great, and we just love the way it looks. We also reflect on some of the small details of Watches & Wonders that made this year’s show so special, from the scale of it all, to our favorite booths, and even some of stuff we missed that has us looking forward to next year.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 233: Wrapping Up Watches & Wonders Week
6 april 2022 · 40 min
Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s another dispatch from Geneva, this time to put a bow on Watches & Wonders 2022. It was a great show, and today’s episode of the podcast is a recap highlighting some of our favorite watches, Geneva experiences, and sandwiches. Yes, sandwiches. There were a lot of little sandwiches consumed this week. Lees meer
This podcast was recorded at Barton 7, one of the many smaller watch events held concurrently with Watches & Wonders. On the day of the recording, we had spent the morning with Urwerk and F.P. Journe, both great learning experiences that we get into in this episode. We also talk through some of the very cool watches we saw at Barton 7, including pieces from Singer Reimagined and Ikepod.
Thanks to everyone for following along on our first trip back to Switzerland in far too long. Be sure to check in here for even more coverage of Watches & Wonders and new releases from other brands who didn’t participate in the show in the very near future.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 232: Day One of Watches & Wonders
31 maart 2022 · 26 min
Today on the podcast, the Worn & Wound editorial team is on the ground in Geneva, taking in the first full day of Watches & Wonders. Trade Shows are officially back, and it’s an exciting thing for the watch community. We saw a lot of watches on day one, but the highlight was probably our very first meeting of the day: Tudor. We’ve got our first impressions of our favorite watches from their new lineup, as well as our takes on some of the watches that are already among the most talked about at the show, including new releases from Rolex, Grand Seiko, and more.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 231: Previewing Watches & Wonders
23 maart 2022 · 50 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast: we’re going to Switzerland! Blake and Zach welcome Patrick Marlett, Worn & Wound’s Media Producer, to the podcast for the very first time to talk about (and speculate) about what’s to come in Geneva for Watches & Wonders. Excitement is really brewing for what is, for most of us, the first major in-person Swiss trade show since the onset of the pandemic back in 2020. Will brands be pulling out all the stops for the occasion? We expect they will, and we’ve got thoughts on what we’d like to see from Rolex, Tudor, Grand Seiko, and more on this week’s episode. Lees meer
What are you hoping to see come out of Watches & Wonders this year? Let us know in the comments, and we’ll be on the ground in Switzerland to bring it all to you next week.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 230: New Releases from Omega, "Extra" Watches, and More
16 maart 2022 · 50 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake and Zach take the mic to talk about, well, a little bit of everything. There’s a rundown of some of the biggest new releases of the last week or so, and then a deep dive into the latest drop from Omega (see the show notes for links to our coverage on those). And when we say “dive,” we mean it, because the big news was a new flagship dive watch line with a water resistance rating of a stunning 6,000 meters. That’s 20,000 feet! Almost four miles of water! Practical? That’s debatable. But it’s certainly a technological and engineering feat, and something definitely worth discussing. Lees meer
Then we turn to Zach’s recent opinion piece on why he likes his watches a little bit “extra,” which itself was a response to Blake’s piece on “basic” watches. What did we discover? Unsurprisingly, there’s a lot more overlap here than we thought, and room enough for everything. How does this all relate to Nirvana’s “Something in the Way” and The Batman? Tune in to find out, and let us know your thoughts on the basic vs. extra debate, your favorite Batman, or anything else you’d like us to know in the comments below.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 229: A Conversation with Wesley Smith, founder of Standard H
9 maart 2022 · 44 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara are joined by Wesley Smith, founder of apparel brand Standard H. Smith has been running Standard H since 2015, and describes it as “elevated casual for the discerning car and watch lover.” In this episode, you’ll hear about the beginnings of the Standard H brand, a sneak peak at what’s in store for the future, and how the watch and automotive worlds inevitably collide. Fair warning, there’s a lot of car talk in this one, including Wesley’s modding strategy on his own GTI (and how it relates to watches), and even a little F1 preview. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 228: Watches We've Warmed Up To
2 maart 2022 · 58 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about how our tastes have changed, and the watches that we’ve warmed up to over time. You know how it goes: you see a watch, have a neutral or even negative reaction, but over time it worms its way into your brain, and you begin to actually, against all odds, kind of like it. Why does this happen? We all have an example of a watch, a brand, or a style that we’ve grown to like over time. Whether it’s a diver with a strange shape, a blinged out Rolex, or a watch that on paper you’d have sworn was too thick, sometimes a watch is a slow burn, taking months or even years to reveal itself in the right light. Lees meer
We want to know all about the watches that you’ve grown to like over time, so leave a note in the comments or on Instagram to tell us what watches you’ve warmed up to.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 227: A Conversation with Max from WatchCrunch
23 februari 2022 · 51 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Max of Watch Crunch, a new and exciting social platform for watch lovers. Watch Crunch was launched only about three months ago, but it’s been in the works for much longer, and has made quite a splash in a relatively short period of time (it grew out of what was already a pretty successful YouTube channel). The idea is simple: provide a platform for watch lovers to connect over their shared interests in a new way. Sounds like a forum, you might say. But this one was created from the ground up with watch enthusiasts in mind, making it easy to share photos, reviews, ask questions, and more, all with a personalized feed tailored to your interests. Max has a lot planned for Watch Crunch going forward, and he talks about some of that, as well as how this all came about, in this conversation with Blake Buettner. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 226: A Conversation with Grand Seiko's Joe Kirk
18 februari 2022 · 47 min
Today, Worn & Wound is happy to present a special podcast in partnership with Grand Seiko. We recently had Grand Seiko’s Joe Kirk in the office to talk about the brand, and answer some of your questions about recent Grand Seiko releases and what’s in store for the future with Worn & Wound’s Zach Weiss. Grand Seiko has been on a hot streak lately, releasing a lineup of new watches with their next generation Spring Drive and Hi-Beat movements, so there’s a lot to talk about. In addition to new watches, Zach and Joe get into what transpired at the recent GS9 Club event in New York City, the intricacies of Grand Seiko movement finishing, and a whole lot more. Lees meer
As Grand Seiko’s Brand Curator, there’s no better person to talk to about the brand, and we think new and old Grand Seiko fans will really enjoy this one.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 225: New Releases, Sinn's Professional Watches, and Beanie Baby Mania
16 februari 2022 · 1 uur 1 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, the editorial team sits down to dive deep into a handful of fairly interesting new releases that have dropped recently. New options from Grand Seiko, Sinn, and Zenith (some of our favorite brands) caught our attention, and in this episode Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Thomas Calara talk through what we like and don’t like about each of them. Lees meer
Then, using Zach Kazan’s recent piece as a jumping off point, we examine the connections between the Beanie Baby bubble of the 1990s and the current state of the watch market. There are some striking similarities, to be sure, including their limited nature and the stratospheric rise in value. We all know what happened with the Beanie Baby market eventually, and it’s worth examining if something similar could happen in watches.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 224: A Conversation with Hodinkee's Danny Milton
9 februari 2022 · 43 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara welcome Hodinkee’s Danny Milton to the show. Danny joined the team at Hodinkee in 2020 (literally the week NYC shut down thanks to the pandemic) and has quickly established himself on the site with his unique, down to earth voice, writing about everything from the watches of Space Jam, to his own relationship with two-tone Rolex, to even more watches of Space Jam. In this episode, Danny talks about how he came to join the team at Hodinkee, his watch journey, and his thoughts on the watch landscape as it stands today. We also touch on some microbrands to watch out for, the prospect of a solid gold Explorer, and of course there’s plenty of vintage Rolex chat. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 223: Our Favorites From LVMH Watch Week
2 februari 2022 · 44 min
This week on the podcast, Blake, Zach, and Thomas talk about some of the big new releases over the last few weeks. In case you haven’t been keeping up with the site, the last few weeks of January saw a flurry of new releases from brands like Zenith, Hublot, Oris, and more. Today, we’re focusing mainly on the standouts from the LVMH stable of brands, including a compelling new affordable diver from TAG Heuer, and an extremely wearable entry from Hublot, with a name that doesn’t necessarily make a lot of sense to us (let us know in the comments if you agree). Outside of LVMH, there’s also the matter of a brand new Royal Oak Jumbo (and a whole bunch of other Royal Oaks) from Audemars Piguet, an early candidate for the biggest release of the year. Lees meer
Be sure to let us know here or on Instagram which watches from the LVMH brands you’re most looking forward to seeing this year, and which flavor of Royal Oak you’d have if you could get an allocation.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 222: A Conversation with @nycwatchguy
26 januari 2022 · 43 min
This week on the podcast, we’re happy to be joined by @nycwatchguy. If you’re at all active in the Instagram watch community, chances are you’ve come across one of his posts. He favors high end independents, and has what is truly one of the most eclectic collections we’ve seen showcased on social media. This is a fun discussion covering @nycwatchguy’s evolution as a watch guy, current trends in the watch community, what the future holds, and even a little bit of basketball. These are all topics addressed in one way or another on @nycwatchguy’s excellent blog, where he discusses the business of watches in a frank and honest way through his unique perspective. It’s definitely worth a read, even if you only have a passing interest in some of the ultra high end watches he collects. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 221: Predictions for 2022
19 januari 2022 · 56 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re looking ahead to 2022, and talking about what we want to see more of from our favorite brands (and the industry as a whole) in the new year. Will brands like Tudor move from 2021’s niche releases (they really made a silver dive watch last year, people) to a more mass market approach? What are we about to see from IWC in 2022? Is this the year of the dress watch? All will be revealed in time, but for now give a listen to this week’s episode, and let us know what you expect from 2022 in the comments below, or on Instagram.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 219: Adventuring with Watches
5 januari 2022 · 41 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Thomas Calara sit down to talk about some of their recent adventures, and the watches that accompanied them on their 2021 travels. Surfing, hiking, and more were all on the table last year, including a weekend excursion up Mt. Whitney and an exploration of rural Utah (both with Rolex Explorers, naturally). Also included: some helpful tips on what to do when you inevitably encounter a bear on the trail (your watches won’t help you), and a look ahead to new adventures on tap in 2022 (snowboarding is on the itinerary for at least one Worn & Wound editor).

29 december 2021 · 59 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Kazan, and Thomas Calara hit the mic to run through your favorite watch releases of the year. We asked listeners to tell us which watches spoke to them over the course of 2021, and you came through with a ton of great responses, jogging our memory to recall watches we may have forgotten during an uncommonly busy year. We cover everything from the new Moon Watch, to the many Tudor releases this year (in seemingly every metal but steel), as well as new watches from some of our favorite small brands, Baltic and Farer among them. Lees meer
If we missed anything (we definitely missed something) drop us a comment here or on Instagram, and let us know what your favorite releases of 2021 were, now that the year is nearly in the rearview. We’ll be back with a new episode soon to cover our own favorites from the past year, so watch out for that in the weeks ahead.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 217: New Year's Watch Resolutions, Regrets, and Recent Acquisitions
22 december 2021 · 40 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan sit down for an end-of-year conversation that covers watch resolutions, recent acquisitions, and watch buying regrets. The recent Zenith Poker Chip is once again discussed (seems we can’t get this one out of our heads) as is the concept of watch trading (as opposed to selling for cash). And because it’s the time of year when everyone seems to be heading out on the road, we talk about our own preferences when it comes to traveling with watches. One and done, or a full watch roll of potential options? Finally, we touch on what might be the single biggest watch news of the year, the sale of a Tiffany signed Nautilus with a robin’s-egg blue dial. Lees meer
Be sure to let us know in the comments if you have a preference or strategy when it comes to traveling with watches, or any watch related resolutions for the upcoming new year.
Lastly, be sure to check out the first installment of Tool/Kit, including some audio from our own Jon Gaffney in this week’s podcast.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 216: A Chat with Ariel Adams from A Blog to Watch
15 december 2021 · 53 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Weiss are joined by Ariel Adams for a wide ranging conversation that covers everything from the business of watches, to the use of color in watch design, to the place of social media in the watch landscape. Ariel, as many readers and listeners are aware, is the founder of A Blog to Watch, and we’re happy to have him join us to help celebrate Worn & Wound’s tenth anniversary by looking back and reflecting on all the changes in our little corner of the internet over the last several years. Ariel is in a unique spot to do that, as A Blog to Watch was one of the very first watch blogs, and has been going strong for well over a decade now. Few people have the breadth of experience that Ariel has, and he’s got a lot of hot takes that have accumulated over years in the industry. This is a great, unfiltered conversation that you’ll want to dive into whether you’re new to watches (there’s some great practical advice here) or as experienced as Ariel. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 215: Felix Scholz and Andy Green from OT: The Podcast, and their New Collaboration with Anordain
8 december 2021 · 49 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re joined by Felix Scholz and Andy Green, our friends from Down Under, and hosts of the wonderful podcast OT: The Podcast. Andy and Felix have both been around the block in the Australian and international watch media landscape with stints at Hodinkee and Time + Tide between them, and have seen OT grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time with an impressive and growing guest list (our own Blake Buettner appeared on the show just weeks ago) and a dedicated community of listeners behind them. Lees meer
We’re thrilled to have Andy and Felix on the show this week to talk about their first limited edition watch release, consisting of two variants of the all new 39mm anOrdain Model 2 (we’ll have a full report on the new watches a little later today). The story of how these watches came about is at once charming and unlikely, and speaks to why we like brands like anOrdain and folks like Andy and Felix in the first place: these watches are meant to be fun, but take the craft and design seriously at the same time.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 214: Kyle Snarr and Jon Gaffney Discuss Tool Kit, Watch Collecting, and More
1 december 2021 · 55 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Kyle Snarr and Jon Gaffney for a wide ranging discussion on watches, gear, and a whole lot more. Kyle heads up partnerships at Worn & Wound, and is also behind the Cantonment Co. brand. Jon is a long time watch enthusiast and writer who has contributed to Worn & Wound since the early days, and also runs the popular @watchknifepen account on Instagram. The big topic at hand in this episode is Tool Kit, a new plank of the Worn & Wound experience that will allow brands to tell their stories on the website in a thoughtful, engaging way. It’s a different way of approaching sponsored content, and we think it’s going to provide a new avenue for telling the stories about watches, gear, and experiences that already make Worn & Wound great. Lees meer
In addition to discussing Tool Kit, Jon and Kyle have a lot to share in this episode about their own histories with watches, and they touch on a variety of subjects that take us through a breakdown of some arcane vintage Seiko terminology, what it means to be a collector versus an enthusiast, and why we seem to be drawn more and more to modern watches over vintage. Be sure to hit us up in the comments or on Instagram if you have any questions about Tool Kit, or anything else from today’s episode.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 213: The Week's Biggest New Releases, and Our Watch Dealbreakers
24 november 2021 · 47 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about some of the more interesting new releases to hit the watch world in the last week (including an instance of the sequel maybe outperforming the original in the case of the latest from Aquastar), as well as a recap of our recent event with Farer at the Filson flagship store in Manhattan. We also discuss the idea of watch related “dealbreakers.” Are there aspects of a watch design that you just can’t get past? Should we try to get past our hangups about small watch details? It’s interesting conversation, and we’d love your feedback, so be sure to let us know if you have any watch dealbreakers after listening to this week’s podcast. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 212: Tudor's New Pelagos FXD
17 november 2021 · 52 min
Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan sit down to talk about what is unquestionably one of the biggest watch releases of the year: the Tudor Pelagos FXD. What is the FXD? Well, if this were Wheel of Fortune, and you bought a few vowels, the “fixed” theme of the watch comes into focus. This iteration of the Pelagos had been the topic of much speculation in recent months as leaks began to hit social media, and the fixed lug bars, unusual bi-directional bezel, and notably thinner case profile offer something genuinely new in the Pelagos line. We walk through this watch’s unique backstory, its connection to the Marine Nationale, and the extremely niche type of diving it was designed for. Lees meer
Later in the podcast, the team talks about some other recent releases of note, including a limited edition Nomos Club 36, and the latest from Benrus. If we missed any of your favorite releases from the last few weeks, be sure to let us know what’s caught your eye in the comments below.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 211: A GPGH Recap, and Finding Your Lane
10 november 2021 · 55 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Ed Jelley have gathered to talk about, among other things, the recently completed Grand Prix Horlogerie d’Geneve, better known as GPHG. Every year, some of the biggest names in watchmaking come together in Geneva to celebrate, well, each other. Some of the awards left us scratching our heads (it was news to us that Louis Vuitton made the best dive watch of the year), but plenty of Worn & Wound favorites took home prizes, including Grand Seiko and MB&F. As is frequently the case when the whole crew joins in on the podcast, many tangents are followed, including hot takes on Squid Game, what’s really going on with the dial on that Tadao Ando Octo Finissimo from earlier this year, and the best watches to wear when you’re in a mosh pit. The team also talks about Blake’s recent editorial on finding your lane in the world of watch collecting, and buying what speaks to you, as opposed to answering the siren song of the influencer.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking tool watches.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 209: Some of Our Favorite Collaborations
27 oktober 2021 · 45 min
Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan are in the studio to talk about some of our favorite collaborations released so far this year. We’re hot on the heels of some very high end collaborations from the likes of Urwerk, Luca Soprana, and others, but we bring it back down to earth with some more accessible collaborations for every taste. This is a very loose discussion about some of the collaborative efforts that have caught our attention for one reason or another, and what we like (and don’t like) about collaborations in the first place. Lees meer
Stay tuned through the collaboration discussion to get some additional hot takes (as if there weren’t enough in episode 208), including our thoughts on the pros and cons of watch modding, and what’s currently happening in that corner of the watch community.
Be sure to hit us up with your favorite collaborative watches that we might have missed in the comments below or on Instagram.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 208: Hot Takes
20 oktober 2021 · 1 uur 3 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about some of your favorite unpopular opinions when it comes to watches. We asked listeners for their hottest watch takes, and man oh man did they ever deliver. From Rolex, to date placement (of course) to the very concept of watch spotting, our listeners held nothing back, and it made for some great conversation and good natured debate. Of course, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, Blake Malin, and Zach Kazan offer their own spicy takes on all things watch related, some of which are guaranteed to shock and surprise. Lees meer
If you have a hot take that wasn’t discussed here be sure to let us know in the comments. We’ll definitely be diving into this topic again soon.

Collective is an application-only Silicon Valley based watch collector’s group that just released their latest collaborative watch, a limited edition version of IWC’s Pilot’s Watch Chronograph. With this release, they’re also opening up their first European collecting hub. Gabe joins Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan to discuss the finer points of collaborating with watch brands on limited releases, the inspiration behind Collective’s latest creation, and how the private collector’s group got its start.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 206: September in Review
6 oktober 2021 · 57 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan take a look at the biggest and best releases from the month of September. As fall sets in and the busy holiday season approaches, new watch releases begin to heat up, and there were a bunch of notable new watches released throughout the month of September at every price point. New limited editions from Nomos and Vacheron Constantin caught our eye, as did an interesting new release from Hamilton tied to a video game, a first for the brand, and possibly the industry as a whole. We’ll talk about all that and more, plus our best guesses at the hammer price of the latest MB&F unique piece to be auctioned off later this year. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite new releases from the last month were, and what you’re looking forward to for the rest of the year. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 205: A Growing Interest in Gold
29 september 2021 · 54 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, just like Scrooge McDuck, we’re diving headfirst into gold. Zach Weiss recently penned an editorial on his growing interest in gold, and in this episode Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan join him to talk about how gold watches fit into our lives, or could, in theory, someday down the line. We wonder aloud why it is that gold watches gain in our esteem over time, and which gold watches we’d choose for ourselves if money were no object, or if commodities markets simply crashed overnight. And of course we take questions and comments from listeners on your favorite gold watches as well. Before all of that, we discuss some of the week’s big new releases, including new chronographs from Zenith and Omega. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 204: Talking with Nicholas Manousos about the Horological Society of New York, Chronometer Certification, and American Watchmaking
22 september 2021 · 50 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are happy to be joined by Nicholas Manousos, Executive Director of the Horological Society of New York. The HSNY is one of the world’s oldest continuously operating horological associations in the world, and Nicholas speaks with us about the organization’s history, mission, and some new initiatives that they’ve recently launched. One of those projects that Worn & Wound readers might be particularly interested in is HSNY’s new chronometer certification process, which debuted in a recent collaboration between Habring and Massena LAB (and immediately sold out). We get the full backstory on how HSNY goes about certifying a chronometer, why it’s important, and what to expect from the program going forward. Anyone interested in the history (and future) of horology in the United States is really going to enjoy this conversation. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 203: A Conversation with James Stacey
15 september 2021 · 53 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Weiss are joined by James Stacey. James wears many hats: he’s a Senior Writer for Hodinkee, one half of the team that hosts The Grey Nato podcast (the other half, Jason Heaton, joined us previously), and he’s the newly minted host of Hodinkee Radio, another watch related podcast you might be familiar with. This is a really fun conversation that touches on everything from the commonly owned Seiko divers among the three podcast participants, frustrations with Rolex waitlists, and selling the entire collection to fund a grail. This was a fun one – it turns out James is just as great as a podcast guest as he is as a host. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 202: The Best of Geneva Watch Days
8 september 2021 · 51 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking about some of our favorites from the recently completed Geneva Watch Days. This year’s Geneva Watch Days event marked the return of in-person watch fairs to Switzerland after a long pandemic induced hiatus, and while the scale of this trade show isn’t on par with Baselworld in its prime, there were still a lot of heavy hitters seeing the light of day for the first time. This isn’t the normal crop of brands that we cover on Worn & Wound (almost without exception, the watches at Geneva Watch Days are extremelyhigh end, and fall squarely into the high luxury category) but there’s still a lot of horologically interesting stuff coming out of the show, and some of it is undeniably beautiful and definitely worthy of discussion. Lees meer
Be sure to let us know if you had any favorites from Geneva Watch Days that we missed, and what you thought of our picks, by commenting on this post or finding us on Instagram.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 201: Our Favorite August Releases
1 september 2021 · 50 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are discussing some of the recent new releases that have caught our collective eye in the month of August. There’s a lot of Grand Seiko activity to discuss, including some new US exclusive limited editions at an affordable price point, and some flagship Spring Drive releases that have the watch community buzzing. There’s also the matter of a new four-way collaboration between Habring, Massena LAB, J.N. Shapiro, and the Horological Society of New York, which produced not only a beautiful and interesting watch (that sold out almost immediately) but provided a preview of the potential for great things to come from the HSNY and the independent watch community. Speaking of collaborations, the latest release from Oris and Hodinkee is discussed as well, along with our hottest possible takes on the pricing of Oris’s latest watches with their in-house caliber.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 200: Anything But Watches - Sort Of
25 augustus 2021 · 57 min
This week marks a major milestone on the Worn & Wound podcast, as we celebrate our 200th episode. That’s right, we’ve officially talked about watches into microphones 200 times (remember the early days?), and to commemorate this momentous event, we reached out to our listeners and asked them to submit questions for us to answer on the air. This time, though, we thought it would be fun to talk about anything but watches. Spoiler alert: there’s still plenty of watch talk here, but you also asked us a lot of great questions about hobbies outside of the watch world, our favorite way to brew coffee, and what’s in our everyday carry. Get to know your friendly neighborhood watch podcast hosts (200 times over) in this episode, as Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan field your questions. Lees meer
We also want to extend a sincere thank you to all of our listeners this week for sticking with us through 200 episodes of the podcast. We couldn’t do it without your support, and we look forward to the next 200.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 199: Grail Watches, Revisited
18 augustus 2021 · 51 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan pick up their recent discussion on grail watches, and this time they’re joined by Zach Weiss and you, the listener, by way of questions and comments submitted through Instagram. We asked for your thoughts on the concept of the “grail watch” and our recent editorial on the subject, and you had a lot to say. In this conversation we take an even deeper dive into how the idea of a grail watch guides and informs our collecting, and we react to plenty of listener feedback. It turns out that there are a lot of ways that you can properly classify a “grail,” from hypothetical watches that may or not exist, to watches that have a particular set of specs, and, of course, all manner of vintage Rolex and rare, handcrafted, luxury watches. We also talk about how our ideas of a grail watch can change over time (and how that’s part of being an engaged collector) and the role that marketing plays (or doesn’t play) in pointing us toward a grail. Lees meer
Be sure to keep the conversation going – if you have thoughts on the idea of the grail watch, be sure to let us know in the comments either right here or on Instagram.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 198: Jerome Burgert of Serica Watches
11 augustus 2021 · 55 min
This week on the podcast, we’re happy to be joined by Jerome Burgert, one of the founders of a brand we’ve become big fans of at Worn & Wound, Serica Watches. Serica appeared on the watch scene in 2019 with the W.W.W. watch, a tribute to classic military watches like the original “Dirty Dozen” series. They followed that up a year later with the 4512, and have just launched their first dive watch, the 5303 (reviewed recently right here by Zach Weiss). Serica is remarkable for developing a crystal clear design language in a very short period of time, and this conversation reveals how carefully considered all the small details in these watches really are. Jerome takes us through the ins and outs of launching his brand, where he hopes to see Serica go in the future, and the concept behind 5303. We also talk with him about how he transitioned from being in the watch media to making his own watches, and how that informs his perspective as a brand owner. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 197: Watch Comebacks
4 augustus 2021 · 50 min
Today on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner are talking about watches that are primed for a comeback. The watch hobby, as many are well aware, is cyclical. Watches come, watches go, and watches come back, sometimes without any discernible reason. In this episode, we run through some watches and trends that we’d like to see make a return, from classic IWC sports watches, to more accessible dress watch offerings, there’s a lot on our collective wish lists. We also talk about the latest release from Brew, speculate as to the nature of the new collaboration between Hodinkee and Ressence (unknown to us at the time of recording) and reminisce about the days when a few dozen watch forum members could chart the course for a new release. Lees meer
We know our listeners have thoughts on the watches, brands, and trends that they’d like to see make a comeback in the near term, so let us know in the comments or on Instagram what you’d like to see return from the past. Whether it’s a great brand that doesn’t get the attention it deserves, a specific type of watch that has fallen out of favor, or a favorite reference that you’d like to see modernized or refreshed, there’s always a lot of opportunity to reinterpret what’s come before.

28 juli 2021 · 43 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan run down some of the most exciting recent releases, and tackle one of the most pressing topics for many watch collectors: grail watches. What is a grail watch, anyway? In this episode, we talk about how to define a grail, it’s importance (or lack thereof) in collecting, and the feasibility of a one (or slightly more than one) watch collection. Lees meer
What are your thoughts on grail watches? Do you have one of your own, or do you bristle at the very idea of chasing after a single watch? Be sure to let us know in the comments, and we’ll be sure to return to this topic in a future podcast.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re playing catch up, and talking about some of our favorite recent summer watch releases. We’ve had a string of podcasts with some great guests recently (check out the archive here if you missed anything) but today it’s just Zach Weiss, Blake Buettner, and Zach Kazan talking about new releases, recent acquisitions, and a certain controversial smartwatch featuring a popular video game plumber. We also talk about a few of the watches to be sold at the Only Watch auction later this year, including a very special watch from Baltic, and a very strange watch from F.P. Journe featuring a unique method for reading the time through a hand shaped automaton built into the dial, conceived in part by the director of Jack (really – it’s all true). There’s also the matter of a very cool new watch from an upstart brand in the Netherlands, a little preview of the upcoming Windup Watch Shop Summer Pop-Up, and, oh yeah, a new release from Tudor.

This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Blake Malin are joined by Hodinkee’s Ben Clymer for a wide ranging discussion reflecting on a long, shared history in the watch media landscape. Ben is the founder and Executive Chairman of Hodinkee, and in the thirteen years since he started the website, it’s grown into a leading resource for all things watches, a one-stop retail shop for new, vintage, and pre-owned watches, and a whole lot more. As Worn & Wound celebrates its tenth anniversary, it was a great time to sit down with Ben and talk about how the watch world has changed over the last decade, and how far both Worn & Wound and Hodinkee have come. This is a great conversation that you won’t want to miss if you’re a regular reader of either site. Lees meer

7 juli 2021 · 44 min
This week on the podcast, Blake Buettner, Zach Weiss, and Zach Kazan are once again taking your questions. When you submitted questions for our recent podcast with the Worn & Wound co-founders, we had a bunch left over that we wanted to get to. We cover some pretty big topics here, including how our collecting habits and tastes have changed, and the watches that have most impressed and surprised us over the years, and very recently. We also dig into the much discussed idea of “cost per wear” and how that can justify an expensive purchase and potentially reveal hidden value. Lees meer

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 192: Recasting Watches
30 juni 2021 · 58 min
Have you ever found yourself watching a movie, and thinking to yourself that a particular character is wearing a watch that just doesn’t make any sense? Conversely, are there watches that feel perfectly cast in your favorite movies? Of course you have – it’s the cross that all us as watch fanatics must bear. Today on the podcast, we’re diving deep into watch casting, choosing the watches that we think make the most sense in some particularly iconic films, and choosing new watches for characters in movies you’ve suggested. Hear us weigh in on watches that would make sense on the wrists of Forrest Gump, the Stand by Me kids, Arnold Schwarzenegger (in multiple movies) and more. This is a fun one for movie and watch fans alike, and definitely a topic we’ll be returning to in the future, so be sure to let us know if you have characters and movies you’d like us to cast or recast from a watch nerd perspective.

The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 191: The Craziest High End Independent Watches, with Steve Hallock
23 juni 2021 · 46 min
This week on the podcast, Zach and Blake are joined by watch industry veteran Steve Hallock. Steve has been around the watch industry for years, working for MB&F, creating content for YouTube, and as a dealer of some of the most exotic independent watches you’ll ever see. The watches that Steve is an expert on are truly rare and unique, and even if you can’t afford or don’t aspire to own watches like these, there’s a lot of horology to appreciate, and Steve’s enthusiasm for watches is infectious. Throughout the course of this conversation, he takes us through his own story of his time in the watch industry, as well as a handful of watches pulled from his safe that are not to be missed.
