This week, it’s watches ranging between $3,000 and $3,500 (be sure to check out the previous episode on the series right here). As always, these aren’t the “best” watches at this price point, but a selection of interesting choices, with a mix of well-known watches from big brands, and some more under the radar selections.

   Afspelen
   Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re launching a new series with a specific focus on watch collecting. Watch collecting is a highly personal endeavor, so we asked a cross-section of notable collectors, some of whom you might be familiar with from their Instagram accounts, about their approach to the hobby. We’ll cover a broad range of topics related to collecting in these episodes – including how taste is developed over time, common collecting mistakes, and what draws these collectors to watches in the first place. Welcome to “Ask the Collectors.” Lees meer

   Similar to our “Ask the Brands” series, in these podcasts, each collector will be asked a broad question about collecting to get their unique perspective on the hobby. In this episode, Zach Kazan spoke with Worn & Wound contributor Christoph McNeill, Seiko enthusiast and collector Erik Strickland, James Smith, an occasional contributor to this site and collector of vintage and modern watches alike, and Rob of the @bazamu Instagram account and website.

   For this episode, we thought it would be a great idea to find out how these guys got involved in the hobby to begin with, and what else they may have collected through the years. The question this week is relatively simple:

   How did you get your start in watch collecting?

   We hope you enjoy the show, and look forward to bringing you future installments of the “Ask the Collectors” series.

   Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re kicking off a new series that focuses on the people behind the brands we cover, and getting to the heart of the state of the watch industry today. Welcome to “Ask the Brands.” Lees meer

   In each of these episodes, we’ll be posing a broad question to several brands, and getting the unique perspective of each. To kick things off, Zach Weiss spoke with Bradley Price of Autodromo, TJ McKnight of Zodiac, Paul Sweetenham of Farer, and Jason Lim of Halios.

   For this inaugural episode in the series, we wanted to look at the state of the watch industry at a high level. With a constantly evolving social media landscape, new ways of getting your product into the hands of customers, and the specter of a global pandemic, the watch industry is at something of an inflection point. With that in mind, the the question this week is at once straightforward, but also deeply complex:

   What are the biggest challenges and opportunities facing watch brands right now?

   We hope you enjoy the show. And be sure to let us know what questions you would like us to ask the brands for future episodes in the series.

    Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, the team reminisces about some of the watches they regret selling. It happens to all of us: in the course of buying and selling watches, always looking to expand our horizons and build a solid collection, we inevitably let something go that we wish we could have kept. In this episode, we talk about the watches we regret selling, why we sold them in the first place, and whether or not we might someday try to get them back. Lots of watches have passed through the watch boxes of the Worn & Wound team, so this is a wide-ranging discussion that features watches of all stripes. Lees meer

SëL specializes in rugged tool watches, that are proudly and obsessively overbuilt. The MK1 OmniDiver, the brand’s flagship product, is the end result of many years of R&D and destructive testing. The end result is a tool watch like nothing else on the market, with nearly every component built to spec in SëL’s Arizona workshop. Here, Andrew discusses the birth of SëL, what makes his brand unique in the watch industry, and a whole lot more. Lees meer

    14 april 2020 · 34 min

    Afspelen
    It’s not often that there’s true breaking news in the watch world. This is an industry, after all, that has existed for hundreds of years and has been notably slow to change. And, of course, watches, in the grand scheme of things, just aren’t as important as the events that are highlighted above the fold in every newspaper over these past few months in particular. Still, this morning we saw something happen in the industry that is genuinely newsworthy, and represents what could potentially be a major shift in how watch brands do business. Lees meer

    As reported by Hodinkee, Revolution, and SJX, it was announced that Rolex, Patek Philippe, Tudor, Chopard, and Chanel had collectively made the decision to withdraw from the re-scheduled Baselworld fair, currently on the calendar for January 2021. Not only are these major Swiss brands leaving Basel behind, but they’ve announced their own show, in partnership with FHH (the group behind Watches & Wonders, formerly SIHH), for the Spring of 2021.

    Of course, here at Worn & Wound, we’re wondering how this will impact many of the smaller brands that we cover. While the Baselworld show is still scheduled for early next year, and we presume those brands who have not already dropped out will participate, it remains to be seen if the trade show will be viable without Rolex, Patek, and others in the longer term. And if not, how will small and midsize brands show their products to press and dealer networks outside of a single, large, centralized trade show?

Zach Weiss, Zach Kazan, and Ed Jelley take us through some of the biggest stories of the month, including big new releases from Hamilton and Bulova, a guide to monopusher chronographs, and reviews of some vintage inspired watches from Ball and Tissot. And of course, we discuss Ed’s review of three watches in the new Seiko 5 Sports line, and what these watches mean for enthusiasts at the entry level in a world without the beloved Seiko SKX.

    This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss and Blake Malin talk to Paul Sweetenham, founder of Farer. Farer is one of the most promising and active independent brands to have launched in recent memory. Paul was last on the podcast in 2017, and in the time since his last appearance, the brand has successfully debuted a series of impressive watches with interesting complications, uncommon movements, and Farer’s trademark bold use of color. In this episode, Zach and Blake catch up with Paul and discuss a wide variety of topics, including Farer’s recent releases, and the influence of car culture on Farer’s design language. We also get a preview of where the brand is heading over the course of the next year. Lees meer

    18 maart 2020 · 41 min

    Afspelen
    This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Weiss, Ilya Ryvin, Zach Kazan, and Ed Jelley look back at the last decade in watches. The 2010s was a big decade for the watch industry, particularly the part of it that we focus on here at Worn & Wound. It was a period of rapid change that included not just the rise of microbrands, but also significant shifts in the way we purchase watches, talk about watches, and design watches. And, of course, the latter half of the decade saw connected watches like the Apple Watch enter the market, changing the space in ways we perhaps can’t even fully see yet. Lees meer

    This week, we’re joined by Fred Friedberg, author of The Illinois Watch & Its Hamilton Years. The Illinois Watch Company played an important role in American watchmaking, producing watches at a great scale through the years of the Great Depression, including many classic Art Deco designs. Their history is linked closely to Hamilton, which is a main focus of Fred’s book. Lees meer

    Fred is one of the foremost experts on the history of the Illinois Watch Company, in addition to being a noted collector and author. On the podcast, we discuss the long history of the Illinois Watch Company, what makes these watches interesting to collect, and how the internet has changed our hobby over the decades.

22. Ep. 119: Designing For the Pocket with Ryan Coulter of The James Brand

    26 februari 2020 · 1 uur

    Afspelen
    There’s always been a big overlap of people who are into watches, and people who are into the broader category of everyday carry, or EDC, which is essentially an umbrella term that covers items someone might have on their person daily — this includes things like watches, keys, pens, notebooks, knives, and things of the sort. One of the brands in the EDC space today, and it’s one that’s gotten some real traction in the last couple of years, is The James Brand, and on this week’s episode, we sit down with its founder, Ryan Coulter. Lees meer

    The James Brand makes high-quality knives, but unlike the kind of tactical-looking knives you might see elsewhere, The James Brand is instead focused on what I would describe as a functional, but more accessible aesthetic. In fact, and Ryan deftly makes this point in the conversation you’re about to listen to, their approach to knives is not that different from Swiss Army’s approach to theirs, and the way they adapted what was essentially a military knife to be sold to the general public.

    We cover a whole number of topics in our conversation with Ryan, among them his background as an industrial designer, his approach to what he calls designing for the pocket, the idea of knives as heirlooms — something that anyone who loves watches will certainly understand — and a whole lot more.

    This week’s episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop.

    On this week’s episode, Zach and I do something we haven’t done in some time. We’re bringing back our series where we look at 10 great watches between X and Y price points. The last one we did focused on $1,500 and $2,000. This time around, we’re looking at the next bracket up — from $2,000 to $2,500. I’m going to preface this by saying that these aren’t the best watches in this space, because there’s no real sense in dealing with absolutes like that. The idea of best highly subjective. The watches on this list are simply watches that we like and that we think are definitely worthy of your consideration and hard-earned money should you be in the market. To that end, there are a lot of watches that didn’t make this list, so if you have a watch that you think deserves to be on here, then we’d love to hear from you. Lees meer

    On this week’s episode, we’ve got a special guest for you all — Bhanu Chopra. Now, if that name sounds at all familiar to you, that doesn’t surprise me one bit. Bhanu (whose IG hand is @analogdisplay) has been a bit of a mainstay in our little horological space. I met him way back when I first started writing about watches, and over the years I’d see him around at industry events and Baselworld and things of the sort. He’s a longtime fixture over at Watchuseek (he’s now a Senior Editor) where he pens a regular column, “Flieger Friday,” and he also owns and operates Juvo Luxury, a company that sells watch boxes and winders. He’s also a massive fan of German watches, from the likes of Sinn and Guinand to Stowa and Aristo, and it’s something he and I have in common. I thought it’d be great to get Bhanu on the podcast to talk about his gig writing about watches, his love for German timepieces and what he’s learned on his many visits to the companies where they’re made, and his brand of watch winders.

    We’ve got a great show for you all this week. In the first half of the episode, I’m joined by our Associate Editor Zach Kazan, and he and I talk about a story he wrote some time ago, titled “The Backyard Breguet: How An Exceedingly Rare Watch Made it to Auction.” Now, we don’t normally cover auctions here on Worn & Wound, but every now and then we make an exception when the story of the auction and the watch being sold is really good. This “backyard Breguet” was a true horological find, and one that almost went under the radar because it was so unusual. I won’t get too into it here, but it’s a great reminder that there are still gems out there waiting to be discovered. Lees meer

    In the second half of the episode, I’m joined by Arianna Pozza, the Head of Product Category Watches at Victorinox Swiss Army. I’m a fan of Victorinox and I have been for a long time, and I especially like their overbuilt INOX series, so I was really excited to get Arianna on the show to discuss that. But we also cover other topics, including her career trajectory in the watch industry, the brand’s approach to women’s watches, and a whole lot more.

    Fears was founded in 1846 by a young watchmaker named Edwin Fear, who set up his workshop and showroom in Bristol. It was a family run business for the entirety of its operation, and it ran until 1976, when the company was forced to close its doors. Then in 2016, Nicholas, who is the great-great-great-grandson of Edwin Fear, brought the company back with the Redcliff, the brand’s first watch in 40 years. Lees meer

    Nicholas swung by Worn & Wound HQ late last year, and this episode was actually recorded on the third anniversary of the brand’s relaunch. Nicholas and Zach cover a wide range of topics. They discuss the brands history, its relaunch, the importance of heritage and authenticity, and what Nicholas thinks the future holds in store for Fears. One of my favorite moments is when Nicholas explains why Fears going out of business in ’76 was actually a good thing for the brand in the longrun run. I won’t say more here.

    Dan and Anna have a really interesting backstory. Though Timeless is now in a large, chic spot in a busy shopping area, the business actually began as small pre-owned operation that Dan and Anna initially ran out of a spare bedroom in their house. They eventually moved to a storefront, brought in a number of brands, and built up a serious collection of watches and a dedicated customer base. So you’ll hear them talk about that history. You’ll also hear how Dan and Anna approach customer and enthusiast engagement, be it through social media or through posting watch reviews on forums like Watchuseek. Finally, they chat about what it took to make their limited edition with Grand Seiko possible — that’s the ref. SBGE249 Blizzard for Timeless Luxury Watches — and their new line of straps designed for Grand Seiko watches.

    On the show this week, we’ve got Rob Caplan, the the co-owner of a family-run watch and jewelry store out in Burlingame California called Topper Fine Jewelers, and Chad Tsagris, the head of Laco USA. This week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop. Lees meer

    First, a little bit of backstory on the episode. Late last year, our Managing Editor Ilya Ryvin flew out to Burlingame for a launch event for a watch that many of you are probably already familiar with if you read the site on a regular basis — the Laco Flieger Limited Topper Edition. This was Topper’s big end-of-year release, and we had known about the project for some time as Rob worked with Laco through its many stages of development in 2019. When the watch was finally ready, Rob invited some media and influencers out to his store in Burlingame to be among the first people to see the watch in the metal. To learn more about the watch, you can read Ilya's coverage here.

    We wanted to get Rob — and Chad — on the podcast to talk about the watch and what it took to get it made. But we also wanted to get Rob on the show to talk a little bit about what it’s like to be a retailer today, and how he’s found success at a time when traditional retail continues to struggle.

    We have a great twofer this week. In the first half of the episode, Worn & Wound Managing Editor Ilya Ryvin and Associate Editor Zach Kazan sit down with Hamilton’s CEO Sylvain Dolla and Hamilton’s Head of Product Alfredo Bellaveglia. The conversation was recorded right before Hamilton launched their collaboration with Schott, so we discuss that project, but we also cover some of this year’s other hits, among them the Pilot Pioneer Mechanical and the Chrono-Matic 50. We also pick Alfredo’s brain about how Hamilton approaches design, and if he ever get’s bored of the prevailing neo-vintage trend. One small note about this interview: we recorded it at the busy Freehand hotel here in NYC, so you’re going to hear some background noise throughout the conversation. Lees meer

    In the second half of the episode, Zach Weiss and Blake Malin sit down with Pim Koeslag, the Technical Director of Frederique Constant and Alpina, and the CEO of Ateliers deMonaco. They discuss Frederique Constant’s unique approach to high-end complications, how they’re able to achieve such an aggressive price point with their Perpetual Calendar, and a whole lot more.

    This week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Hamilton and their new Hamilton Chrono-Matic 50. Released in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the production of the first automatic chronograph, the Chrono-Matic 50 is a sporty chronograph with a distinctive case and with tons of ‘70s flair.

    27 november 2019 · 1 uur 9 min

    Ilya here! On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, we’re switching things up a bit. We’re not really talking about watches (don’t worry, there is some watch talk). But if you follow Zach or myself on Instagram, then you’ve likely noticed that other than watches, we’re both pretty into shoes, and one of our favorite brands is Grant Stone. Lees meer

    Our guests this week are Wyatt Gilmore and his father Randy Gilmore, and they’re the founders of Grant Stone. Grant Stone is a relatively young footwear brand, and, in many ways, they’re not unlike some of the smaller, enthusiast-run brands we cover on Worn & Wound. Since hitting the scene in 2016, they’ve already built a catalog of high quality, classically styled shoes — they’ve got plain toe bluchers and longwings, penny loafers and hard-wearing country boots. All models are Goodyear-welted and feature high-quality uppers, insoles, and outsoles. And the thing is, Wyatt and Randy wouldn’t have it any other way. Their family has been in the shoe business for generations so they’re all about doing it right, and though they’re a small fish in a large pond, that experience has allowed them to break out of the pack, and they’ve already grown quite the following of devotees who swear by their shoes.

    Wyatt and Randy swung by Worn & Wound HQ to talk about their brand, but we didn't just talk about Grant Stone. We covered a whole bunch of topics like what actually makes a pair of shoes good? What is a welt? How did Alden’s Indy boot get its name? And yes, even how Randy accidentally rolled a tractor over his Rolex GMT-Master II (see, there's watch talk).

    On this week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Ilya, Zach, and Blake sit down to chat about the upcoming Wind Up Watch Fair in New York City. From the exciting new brands making their debut to some of the watches expected to launch at this year’s show, we have the skinny on what you need to know about the Windup NYC 2019 show. Lees meer

    Here are the basics: Windup is a three-day watch event taking place Oct 25 through the 27th at Chelsea Market in New York City. Windup showcases brands ranging from new independents with just a few models to larger Swiss and German houses with rich histories and deep catalogs. What ties the brands together is that they all have a unique perspective and their products offer a great value. Windup is also all about getting our readers in front of watches and the people that make them, and to that end the Fair is always free and open to the public. So whether you’re a seasoned watch-head or someone considering their first timepiece, come on by and take a look.

    This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Bulova and their Computron line of watches. Originally launched in the 1970’s, the modern Computron pays homage to the retro-futuristic styling of the original with a sharp trapezoidal case and iconic LED display.

    Just two years ago, Ming Watches hit the scene and were an overnight sensation. That first limited collection, dubbed 17.01, sold out in no time, which wasn't that much of a surprise because the watches were good — like really good. And they were aggressively priced, too, at just $900 a pop. Then a few months later, Ming put out their sophomore release, this time a high-end piece with a crazy 100-hour movement by Schwarz-Etienne. The new watch, nearly 7 times the price of its predecessor, followed some of the foundational design cues of Ming's first watch, but the execution was pure luxury. It was an exciting release, but also one that inspired controversy with its ambitious price tag. Ming's continued that trajectory, releasing both luxurious watches and democratically-priced ones — all the while maintaining a unique aesthetic and adherence to quality that's found numerous fans.

    Because we talk to so many small brand owners here on the Worn & Wound Podcast, one of the recurring focuses of the show has been manufacturing — who makes it, how it’s made, and of course where it’s made. Brands, and that’s brands both big and small, need to to get their watches made somewhere, and there’s really only a handful of options as far as regions of the world go. Within the micro brand (or enthusiast brand space — whatever you want to call it), much of that manufacturing happens in Asia. Lees meer

    On this week’s episode of the show, we chat with Vishal Tolani, a longtime friend of Worn & Wound and the man behind brands like Spinnaker, AVI-8, and DuFa, among others.

    This episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you by Timeless Luxury Watches and their new collaboration with Nomos and the National Breast Cancer Foundation. In partnership, they have created two custom Nomos Club Campus models — one in 36mm and another measuring 38.5mm — with a portion of each sale going to fund the National Breast Cancer Foundation. The price for the National Breast Cancer Foundation models is the same as the original 36mm and 38.5mm Nomos Club Campuses, $1,500 and $1,650 respectively.
