Ep. 428: Precision, Craft, and Carry – Designing Watches and Knives with Sam Amis
10 december 2025 · 46 min
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Sam Amis to the podcast to talk about the intersection between pocket knife and watch enthusiasm. Sam is a Worn & Wound contributor, industrial designer, and knife and EDC industry veteran. He just wrote an article that seeks to show in a very specific way the ways in which the knife and watch worlds overlap from the perspective of a designer. Sam has a lot of thoughts on the things that bind these communities together, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s photographer who entered the watch community through the EDC world, also joins the podcast to provide his perspective as an enthusiast in both communities. Lees meer

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Liam O’Donnell is back and chatting with Zach Kazan about their favorite non-Swiss watches.

Before that, however, there’s also an extended conversation about a pair of releases from a pair of powerhouse brands: Tudor and Omega.

19 november 2025 · 57 min
Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch back to the pod to talk about the fall auction season, including the sale of a very expensive steel Patek that has the entire watch world buzzing.

Time On Screen: Back to the Future 40th Anniversary
10 november 2025 · 48 min
Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode on the movie this podcast was literally made for: Back to the Future. Longtime readers and listeners might recall that in the summer of 2020 we recorded an episode of the podcast on this very filmthat laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Time on Screen. If there was an ever a movie worth dipping into for a second time, it’s Back to the Future. More than that, we have good reason to. It’s back in theaters for its big 40th anniversary, and Casio even released a special watch to celebrate. Lees meer
This episode features Zach Kazan as host, and he’s joined by Blake Malin and Kyle Snarr to dig into why this film resonates so strongly across generations 40 years after its initial release. Much of the conversation is centered on personal experiences with the movie, including early memories of seeing it in childhood. And, of course, we talk about the watches (and clocks!) seen throughout.

Ep 423: Is The Watch Industry Out Of Ideas?
5 november 2025 · 45 min
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Liam O’Donnell to the podcast to discuss a topic we’ve been thinking about privately for a while and have heard grumblings about elsewhere. Today we’re asking a big question: is the watch industry out of ideas? Lees meer
We’ve all felt it in one way or another. There’s a sense among certain enthusiasts that brands are repeating themselves, churning out conservative products that are proven sellers at the expense of innovating. But is that an insidery point of view? Maybe “innovation” isn’t exactly what this centuries old industry is really about? We chat about how some brands play it safe, constantly trying to recapture the past (and why that’s appealing to a lot of us) and how others are a little more daring, and how that impacts the entire industry.

Ep. 422: Collection Updates with Griffin Bartsch
29 oktober 2025 · 50 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach welcomes Griffin Bartsch back to the Worn & Wound podcast for a new entry in our Collection Update series. Griffin picked up an IWC Mark XX earlier this year, and in this conversation he explains why that was the right watch for him at this particular moment and how he’s been living with it over the past several months as a daily driver. And Zach picked up a new watch from Typsim, the Seattle based indie known for their unique lume compound and true gilt dials. The Guide XLH, the watch Zach couldn’t resist at Windup, has a funky look to it that’s just a little strange, which kind of fits in exactly with what he’s been interested in lately. Lees meer
Before Griffin and Zach chat about their new watches, they spend a bit of time recapping the Windup Watch Fair in New York City, the watches they enjoyed from the show, and, yes, the lines to get in the door. Be sure to check back here soon for more from the New York City edition of Windup, including videos of all the panels from Windup weekend.

Ep 419: We Pick Alternatives To The Rolex Sub & Cartier Tank
8 oktober 2025 · 1 uur
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Garrett Jones and Ricardo Sime to the show to talk about potential alternatives to some of the most popular luxury watches. This idea, over the years, has proven to be one of the central questions and debates among watch enthusiasts. If you started your watch journey on the forums before Instagram was the central hub of the watch community, you no doubt came across countless threads asking for advice on alternatives to the most iconic (and often expensive) luxury watches. We look at two watches, the Rolex Submariner and the Cartier Tank, and come up with a handful of alternatives for each. We also discuss the merits of thinking about collecting in this way, and if an alternative can ever really scratch the itch for the “real” thing. Lees meer
We’d love to know your thoughts. Have you ever picked up one watch as an alternative to another? What do you think of our picks as substitutes for the Tank and Submariner? Let us know in the comments or find us on Instagram and let us know.

Ep. 418: Market Updates and the American Watchmaking Directory with Hamza Masood
1 oktober 2025 · 52 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Hamza Masood back to the podcast. Hamza Masood is Head of Partnerships at WatchCharts, a website whose mission is to provide as much pricing data and transparency as possible to the watch buying public and the larger watch industry. It’s a truly invaluable resource, and we think you should bookmark it and refer to it whenever you find yourself shopping for a new or pre-owned watch. In this episode we get a market update from Hamza and a broad overview of the state of the pre-owned watch world, including a few notable surprises. Lees meer
Hamza also tells us about his latest project, the American Watchmaking Directory. Hamza has always had an interest in American watchmaking and the state of the industry here, and the American Watchmaking Directory is a bit of a passion project that has been in the works for some time. It seeks to document as many American watch brands as possible, and will eventually also list suppliers and manufacturers of other watch components based in America as well. The idea is that it can be a place not just for collectors and enthusiasts to research American watchmaking, but to connect brands with each other and suppliers so they might collaborate more easily.

Time on Screen: There Will Be Blood
22 september 2025 · 1 uur 19 min
Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode about one of the most acclaimed movies of its era, Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood. When it arrived in 2007, There Will Be Blood was hailed as a masterpiece almost immediately, and its stature has only grown since then. With a new PTA movie, One Battle After Another, now just days away from release, we thought now would be a great time to revisit his magnum opus. Lees meer
Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell for this episode, and together they discuss their initial reactions to the film when they first saw it, how they’ve grown with the movie over the years, and the complex themes and ideas that Anderson is playing with in TWBB. They also spend some time discussing the incredible Daniel Day-Lewis performance at the center of the film, and what makes him and this role in particular so special. Finally, Zach, Kat, and Liam each pick their personal top three PTA movies.

Ep. 416: The One Watch Collection
17 september 2025 · 55 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan puts Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell through an excruciating thought experiment: could we simplify our watch ownership to a one watch collection? It seems like a truly exotic concept when you work in the watch industry or are otherwise deep into the hobby, but it’s also an idea that can help focus what’s really important to us in a watch. Zach, Kat, and Liam each pick a watch that could potentially be a fabled “one watch” and also discuss the practical and theoretical concerns about owning a single watch when we’re all so accustomed to a wider variety. Lees meer
Also in this episode, Liam updates us on a recent trip he took with Tudor (a brand that factors into our one watch collection discussion in a major way). Liam was recently in Canada with Tudor and their cycling team for an inside look at a major cycling race. Keep your eyes on Worn & Wound for more coverage of that event very soon.

Ep. 415: Geneva Watch Days 2025
10 september 2025 · 1 uur 1 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re talking all things Geneva Watch Days 2025. Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to recap the event and the most interesting watches that came out of it. Before getting into the watches themselves, the group talks about their impressions of the event itself and its relative importance on the watch industry calendar. This was Zach W’s first time at Geneva Watch Days (and Zach K’s second), and the show itself is rapidly changing, so there’s a lot to talk about on this front. Lees meer
While the releases at Geneva Watch Days aren’t as splashy as the novelties you’ll find at Watches & Wonders, there are still plenty of gems to be found, the event represents a great opportunity for small brands to get a ton of attention. That was really the case this year, as you’ll hear Zach and Zach that some of the watches that most impressed them came from true indies (at all price points), like Behrens and Dennison.
Let us know what you thought of this year’s crop of Geneva Watch Days releases in the comments below.

Changing Gears: Betty Van of Switch and Click
1 september 2025 · 1 uur 11 min
In this episode of Changing Gears, host Kat Shoulders sits down with Betty Van of Switch and Click, the creator behind one of the most popular YouTube channels in the mechanical keyboard space along with W&W co-founders Blake Malin and Zach Weiss. Lees meer
The W&W team and Betty kick things off with a wrist check and keyboard check before diving into the story of how Switch and Click began, the inspiration behind the channel, and the moment Betty realized it could turn into something much bigger than a hobby. They explore what makes gear so addictive, from the sensory joy of clicks and textures to the way personal objects can become an extension of who we are.
Betty shares her favorite discoveries in the keyboard world, her tips for anyone buying their first board, and how she balances making in-depth content that’s still approachable for beginners. The conversation also covers building community, staying authentic in a niche that can sometimes feel intimidating, and Betty’s newest passion: watches.
Whether you’re a seasoned keyboard builder, a gear enthusiast, or just curious about what makes these objects so fascinating, this episode is full of insights, laughs, and inspiration.

Ep 412: Felix and Andy from OT: The Podcast
20 augustus 2025 · 54 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach is joined by Andy Green and Felix Scholz, hosts of OT: The Podcast. Over the last several years, Felix and Andy have developed OT into one of the top watch podcasts out there with a series of fantastic interviews with watch industry insiders, their own great rapport and sense of humor, and an enthusiastic community of fans (be sure to check out their Discord here). The last time Felix and Andy came on the Worn & Wound podcast, they had just released their first (and so far only) collaborative watch with anOrdain, and on this episode they spend some time reflecting on that experience and teasing what might be ahead. They also discuss the unique nature of watch enthusiasm in their native Australia, the appeal of the Apple Watch, how their attitude towards press trips has changed as the years pass, and some of their favorite releases from the year so.

Ep 411: How to Start a Collection in 2025
13 augustus 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
On the podcast this week, Zach Kazan welcomes Devin Pennypacker to discuss a topic that comes up in the real life conversations of watch enthusiasts fairly often: how do you start a collection? When you’re the watch collector in a group of non-collectors, it’s something that’s inevitably asked from time to time by those who are curious about the hobby. Starting a collection, or entering the hobby at any level, is a very different proposition in 2025 than at any other time we can remember, so Zach and Devin provide some advice based on the current state of the watch world. They discuss everything from how to find your specific niche community within the larger watch world, how to filter out all the noise from social media, and of course they offer some suggestions for specific watches and brands to look at if you’re just getting started. Lees meer
Before all of that, Zach and Devin also run through some of the notable recent releases from the last week, including a MoonSwatch that has generated no shortage of hot takes, and a Timex pulled from the archives. And stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new round of cultural recommendations.
We’d love to hear from you about the best ways to enter the hobby in 2025. What advice would you give to someone with a burgeoning interest in watches that Zach and Devin didn’t cover?

Time on Screen: The Life of Chuck
11 augustus 2025 · 55 min
Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode. In this episode, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders break down The Life of Chuck, the latest from Mike Flanagan, a favorite filmmaker among the Worn & Wound crew. The Life of Chuck is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella that is somewhat hard to describe. It follows the life of a single character through important stages of his life, with a story told in an extremely unconventional way, and is one of those movies that you’ll want to discuss and dissect as soon as you get out of the theater. It’s also a big left turn for Flanagan away from the horror genre, and feels like a much more personal statement. Lees meer
In this conversation, Zach and Kat break down the movie’s structure and its key themes and scenes, and also rank their top three Mike Flanagan projects. They also talk about the importance of time as its portrayed in this movie, both in the way the story is told, and through a perfectly delivered Flanagan monologue that repurposes Carl Sagan’s famous “Cosmic Calendar” principle.

Liam and Kat go way back, and this is a really fun conversation about Liam’s start in the hobby, how he broke into working in the industry through the NYC watch community, and his own collection. There’s also, of course, plenty of photography talk, as Liam fields questions from the Worn & Community. Liam and Kat also discuss some of Liam’s recent work for Worn & Wound, including last week’s piece on Christopher Ward’s partnership with the Everton Football Club and his experience taking in an F1 weekend in Miami with IWC.

Ep 409: Listener Hot Takes!
30 juli 2025 · 1 uur 2 min
This week on the podcast, we’re returning to a favorite topic: hot takes! We asked our communities on Instagram, YouTube, and our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel to send us their spiciest takes on the watch world so we could react to them and they absolutely did not disappoint. And, of course, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders have some takes of their own. Topics covered include the Royal Oak, the very premise of the “GADA” watch, micro-adjustable clasps, Rolex wait lists, and a whole lot more. Lees meer
We had so many submissions there was no way to get through them all, so let us know in the comments what your hottest watch related take is, and we’ll add it to the list and react to it in a future episode.

Ep 408: A Deeper Dive into the Best of 2025 (So Far), and a Closer Look at the Surprising New Breitling Top Time
23 juli 2025 · 1 uur 3 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Devin Pennypacker to take a deeper dive into some recent content on the blog. Namely, they’re taking a closer look at Devin’s recent review of the Breitling Top Time B31, which was an enormous and very pleasant surprise for both, as well as a closer examination of our favorite watches of the year so far. Both Zach and Devin defend their top choices, while also offering some additional favorites that did not make the final list. They also take stock of the year in general to this point, which has had a number of great releases, but doesn’t seem to have a consensus favorite to this point (which might be a good thing). Lees meer
Let us know in the comments if there’s a watch we missed in our discussion of the year’s best, and be sure to tell us your own top picks.

Ep 407: Live from the Windup Watch Fair with Citizen
16 juli 2025 · 53 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re bringing you back to Chicago and this year’s Windup Watch Fair in the Windy City. Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders jump on the mic mere hours after returning home from one of the busiest Windups we can remember, and quickly discuss some of their impressions of this year’s event and what made it special. Lees meer
The bulk of this episode though is all about the Citizen Aqualand, one of the truly iconic dive watches of the 1980s. The Aqualand celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and was a big focus for Citizen at this year’s Windup in Chicago. On the last day of the fair, Zach hosted a live recording of the podcast with Neall Brick, Director of Merchandising at Citizen, Ben Lowry of The Submersible Wrist & W.O.E., and artist Justin Sowders. As a panel, they cover the Citizen Aqualand from the company’s point of view, from the diver’s position, and from a creative perspective as well. Ben, Neall, and Justin also give a recap of this year’s “Windup in a Lake” dive trip, which once again brought a bit of the Windup spirit to Lake Michigan.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re previewing the upcoming Windup Watch Fair in Chicago. Blake Malin hosts and is joined by Kyle Snarr and Nelly Calhoun to discuss all things Windup as we get ready to continue the Fair’s ten year anniversary celebration with our biggest and best shows yet.

Ep 405: Summer Travel Q&A
2 juli 2025 · 1 uur 7 min
It’s Q&A time once again on the Worn & Wound podcast, and we’ve got a bunch of fun questions this month from our Worn & Wound+ listeners covering a huge range of topics. Zach and Devin are fielding questions on how they feel about gradually increasing the prices they pay for their personal watches, favorite rubber and leather straps, and purchases inspired by watches seen in movies and television. There are also some great travel related questions, just in time for summer vacation. And, of course, there are plenty of tangents, including our thoughts on the naming of a new director in the James Bond franchise and watch choice etiquette on press trips. Lees meer

Time on Screen: The Grand Budapest Hotel
30 juni 2025 · 59 min
There’s a new Wes Anderson movie in theaters, but that’s only part of the reason we were inspired to cover The Grand Budapest Hotel for this latest edition of Time on Screen. Faithful readers might remember a recent release from Maurice de Mauriac with a pretty direct link to the film. There’s also Anderson’s recent collaboration with Montblanc (timed to coincide with the release of The Phoenician Scheme) that certainly appeals to our own interest in writing instruments as well. Gear Patrol has the full story on the pen – is there anything more Wes Anderson than the layout of that limited edition packaging? Lees meer
But ultimately, we just really love The Grand Budapest Hotel and didn’t need much of a reason to discuss it. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode (they also covered The Life Aquatic here, which you should listen to if you haven’t already), and the focus the conversation on where Grand Budapest sits in Anderson’s filmography. More than a decade removed from the film’s release, it now seems pretty clear that it represents a dividing line in Anderson’s career. Zach and Kyle also spend some time talking about the great Ralph Fiennes performance in this film, as well as their favorite scenes.

Ep 404: Collecting Neo-Vintage Sleepers from Seiko, Timex, and More with Tommy DeMauro
25 juni 2025 · 56 min
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don’t have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality. Lees meer
In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy’s articles that he’s written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.

And folks, if it wasn’t already clear, it’s summer watch season. It seems like just about every brand wants to sell you a summer watch this month. We didn’t set out to provide a list of new summer watches specifically, but that’s what watch brands are putting out into the world in these warmer months. Lees meer

Ep 402: What Happened to Budget Watches?
11 juni 2025 · 54 min
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss to chat about something that’s on everyone’s mind as of late: watch pricing. Specifically, we’re wondering about the state of the “budget” watch, the space that used to be owned by inexpensive (and enthusiast favorite) Seiko sports watches. The landscape for these watches has changed considerably over the last several years, and in this episode we discuss potential reasons for that, who’s filling the void, and provide some recommendations for enthusiasts (regardless of their experience level) on brands and watches to look out for that give you plenty of bang for your buck.

Watch pricing is a hot topic right now, so don’t hesitate to get in the comments below and tell us your thoughts on the state of Seiko, your favorite value oriented watches, or anything else related to the topic.

Ep 401: Inside D1 Milano

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch to the podcast to discuss his recent experience visiting D1 Milano in, where else, Milan. D1 Milan achieved a level of viral fame a few back with their “Sketch” watch, a polycarbonate watch with a distinct look that makes it appear drawn by hand. But D1 is a lot more than the Sketch, and Griffin had a chance to look at a number of new D1 Milano pieces in the city where they were designed. It’s a genuinely surprising watch story, and speaks to the huge breadth of variety in the world of watches. This episode also features an interview Griffin recorded with D1 Milano founder Dario Spallone, who started the brand all the way back in 2013. Lees meer

Ep 399: “Bad Actors” and Recent Watch Spotting in Movies and TV
21 mei 2025 · 1 uur 3 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to catch up on some of the watches they’ve spotted in recent TV and movies. The inspiration for this podcast is a recent article by Zach Weiss in which he points out the blatantly fake watches used in Your Friends and Neighbors, currently airing on Apple TV+. Zach takes us through not only the mistakes made in this show, but a possible error in Sinners, still in theaters, and a famous shot in Breaking Bad where a character uses a chronograph in a way that we’re pretty sure nobody ever has. The group also chats about some notable watch spotting in other recent films and TV shows, including The Last of Us, Thunderbolts (sort of), and even Saturday Night Live. Lees meer

Ep 398: Inside Biwi with Cait Bazemore
14 mei 2025 · 1 uur 7 min
This week on the podcast, Worn & Wound contributor Cait Bazemore makes her podcast debut. Cait has been writing about watches for years, and in this episode we spend most of our time discussing her recent piece on Biwi, a Swiss firm which has gained some fame recently for their work with Norqain. Biwi is a fascinating company and has manufactured rubber straps and a whole host of other things for watch brands over the years, and the story of how Cait came across the story and what she discovered at Biwi’s facilities in Switzerland is truly fascinating. Before the Biwi talk begins, Cait takes us through her path in the watch industry, what’s interesting to her about the community, and how her interest in traditional craftsmanship relates to the high tech world of Biwi.

A Week in Watches Ep. 102 – The Indies of April
27 april 2025 · 12 min
Watches & Wonders may have wrapped a few weeks ago, flooding everyone’s feeds with Tudors, Rolexes, Grand Seikos, Pateks, Zeniths, and more than a few Hublots—but we’re not diving into any of that today. Instead, on episode 102 of A Week in Watches, we take a step back from the hype and turn our attention to the quieter—but no less exciting—independent releases that emerged around the same time. April was surprisingly packed with creative drops from small brands doing things their own way, and while the big names stole the headlines, the indies delivered some of the most interesting watches of the month. Lees meer
Before diving into a few standout releases—yes, including that particularly “crazy” one—here’s a quick heads-up: Windup Watch Fair San Francisco 2025 is just around the corner. It’s happening May 2nd through 4th at the Gateway Pavilion in Fort Mason Park. Over 80 brands will be there, it’s free, and it’s open to all. If you’re on the West Coast, swing by. Full details and the exhibitor list are up now at windupwatchfair.com.

Changing Gears: A Quarter Century of Pro-Tech with Founder Dave Wattenberg
25 april 2025 · 37 min
In this episode of Changing Gears, Garrett sits down with Dave Wattenberg, the founder and owner of Pro-Tech Knives. From building the first batch on his kitchen table over 25 years ago to running a 17,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Southern California, Dave’s experience in the knife industry has allowed him and the Pro-Tech team to create some of the best everyday carry knives on the market today. In this episode, Dave and Garrett dive into Dave’s family ties to the cutlery industry, how Pro-Tech got its start, how Dave came to be both a watch and knife enthusiast, and even an exclusive design that’s been created just for the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair. Listen closely, you might even get some information about a top secret Pro-Tech prototype that’s in the works. Lees meer
We’re happy to announce that Pro-Tech has created an exclusive knife design for the upcoming San Francisco Windup Watch Fair, a TR-3 Integrity. Derived from one of their best selling automatic knives over 22 years, the TR-3 Integrity combines the iconic TR-3 Auto design with their button lock hardware to create a consumer friendly, manual action knife. This exclusive edition will feature a 3.5”, stonewash finished, S35vn steel blade, battleworn blue relic handles, and a gorgeous abalone button. While this exclusive is limited to 25 pieces, in Dave’s own words, each one is “one of a kind” due to the uniqueness of the abalone insert. Check out this design, and many more at Pro-Tech’s booth inside the EDC Expo at the Windup Watch Fair.

Ep 395: Collection Updates
23 april 2025 · 58 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss for a collection update. Every so often, when new watches hit our collections, we jump on the podcast to talk about what we picked up and why. In recent months, both Zachs have made a few additions, and we thought now would be a good time to provide an update after the Honeymoon Period has just barely faded. Zach Weiss has seen a vintage watch (from a brand that has been very much in the news) join the collection, along with a very tough to track down timepiece from an upstart Japanese brand. And Zach Kazan has recently added a second piece from a personal indie favorite, as well his first watch from one of the most discussed brands in the watch world. After discussing their new acquisitions, Zach and Zach talk about where they see their collections heading in the short and long term. Lees meer

Ep 393: Watches & Wonders, a Collection Purge, and Chocolate Covered Almonds
9 april 2025 · 56 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is back from Geneva, fighting jetlag, and chatting with Devin Pennypacker about the broad strokes of Watches & Wonders, how the show was received back home, and some of the notable watches released last week. We’ll have a much more thorough breakdown of Watches & Wonders and the surrounding events next week once the whole team has returned from Switzerland, so stay tuned for that discussion coming soon. Lees meer
The rest of the episode is dedicated to talking about a unique collecting phenomenon: the consolidation that many collectors attempt in light of the announcement of so many new novelties. It turns out that post Watches & Wonders is often a great time to troll WatchRecon, eBay, and elsewhere for pre-owned watches being unloaded to fund a newly announced shiny new thing. Devin is currently going through a bit of collection purge himself, and he and Zach talk about how they decide to let something go, and when they know it’s the right time to jump on something new.

Ep 391: The Rise of Micro-Indies with Bhanu Chopra
26 maart 2025 · 1 uur 3 min
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are joined by Bhanu Chopra. Bhanu is likely a familiar figure to many – he’s a watch media mainstay, with bylines in Forbes, Revolution, and, of course, Worn & Wound, among others. If there’s one thing to know about Bhanu, it’s that he has a real passion for independent brands, particularly those on the small affordable side. He was well ahead of the curve when it comes to the current “micro-indie” movement in the watch world. We talk to Bhanu about why these brands mean so much to him, some of his favorite experiences visiting manufactures and ateliers over the years, and how he draws a distinction between a “microbrand” and an “indie” anyway.

Time On Screen - Phantom Thread
24 maart 2025 · 1 uur 5 min
In this new episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan welcomes Worn & Wound contributor Brett Braley to talk about Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread. Why Phantom Thread? Well, for a number of reasons. First, PTA has a new film out later this year and it has Zach and other members of the Worn & Wound team thinking about his filmography. Second, there’s a clear link in our minds between the craft depicted in this film and the world of watchmaking. Third, Brett and Zach previously discussed Tár, a movie with more than a few links to Phantom Thread. Lastly, it’s just a great film, with great performances, and some of the best scenes of a couple eating breakfast that you’ll ever find in a movie. Lees meer
