The Worn & Wound Podcast

Time On Track looks to Japan this week for round 17 of the Formula 1 season at the famous Suzuka Circuit. Verstappen returned to form this week, taking a dominant victory and bagging the World Constructor Championship for the team in the process, despite Sergio Perez's most forgettable race of the season. Some strange team orders were the subject of plenty of discussion, including one call that saw a last lap swap between the Alpine drivers, and another that played out between the Mercedes cars looking to keep a Ferrari at bay. Sergio's strange race also has us wondering if Lewis Hamilton might find himself within striking distance of P2 in the Drivers Championship before the season is out.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are taking over while Blake is on vacation for a special episode where they tackle questions from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. These questions were a lot of fun and really ran the gamut, covering everything from flexing your Rolex at the gym, to caring for your watch bracelets, and favorite articles and photography campaigns we’ve been involved with. We’ll definitely be doing this again, so if you have questions for members of the Worn & Wound team, drop them in the comments. Better yet, join the Worn & Wound+ community by clicking here.

Racing returns this week with the first of a double header featuring Singapore and Japan, and the Marina Bay Street Circuit offered what is to this point, the best race of the season. For the first time this season, and the first time more than 15 races, a team other than Red Bull claimed victory, and without the dominant Verstappen in the lead, the door was opened to the most competitive racing out front we’ve seen all season long. There was effectively a 4 way battle for the top spot that ran right to the end of the race, with Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz taking the checkered flag just ahead of Lando Norris, and Lewis Hamilton. Singapore’s relatively bumpy street circuit meant Red Bull wasn’t able to run their suspension in it’s usual, very low, sweet spot. This threw the car’s aerodynamics off just enough to bring the car back to earth a bit, with high mid field pace that saw Verstappen finish in P5, and Perez in P8. Ferrari took advantage this week, qualifying in pole position, and a good enough race strategy to maintain the lead through the race. Both Mercedes cars the McLaren of Lando Norris made thing interesting out front, however, with a brilliant strategy call by Mercedes late in the race nearly handing them the victory. We’ll return next week with a look at the race in Japan around the iconic Suzuka Circuit, which we expect a full return to form by the Red Bull cars, but this is a sport where nothing can be taken for granted, so here’s hoping we’ll get some more competitive racing.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner is checking in from his recent dive trip in Florida with Tudor, and is joined by fellow dive watch aficionado Justin, AKA @the_wristorian on Instagram, where you’ve probably seen him post tons of amazing content on just about everything you can imagine relating to dive watch history. He’s a true authority, and a genuine enthusiast, and his feed is worthy of a follow if you’re not already checking in. In this conversation, Blake and Justin discuss all the action on the ground and under the surface with Tudor, including their experience at the Man in the Sea museum, home to SEALAB-I and many other important pieces of diving history, and their reactions to the latest Tudor FXD, this time clad in a black dial. This one is absolutely loaded with dive watch content, so get ready for a full exploration of the Tudor dive watch lineup, and where it stands now with the latest addition to the collection.

Time on Screen is back this week, and Zach Kazan welcomes his Worn & Wound colleagues Nelly Calhoun, the team’s Events Manager, and Nina Flanders, Worn & Wound’s Customer Experience Coordinator. In this episode, they’re talking about Greta Gerwig’s Barbie. In a huge movie year, no movie has been more talked about than Barbie, and there is so much to discuss, including an all-time great triple watch-spot on the wrist(s) of Ryan Gosling, a hilarious and poignant performance by Margot Robbie, and the unlikely way a huge piece of IP like Barbie was able to start a nuanced discussion of feminist ideas among huge numbers moviegoers. It’s an unprecedented movie in a lot of ways, and this conversation dives into what makes Barbie so unique, and why it’s likely to endure for years.

This week on the podcast, Blake is joined by Zach Kazan to talk about all the big news coming out of Geneva Watch Days, including an impressive collaboration between MB&F and H. Moser for Only Watch, an impressive new chronograph from Sylvain Pinaud, and a Doxa that, perhaps, stole the show (for better or worse). But first, they talk about what will surely be one of the most talked about releases of the year, the new Swatch x Blancpain Scuba Fifty Fathoms. It was inevitable that Swatch would follow up the massive success of the MoonSwatch with something, but it’s kind of hard to believe that we’re really here talking about a colorful, BioCeramic take on the vaunted Fifty Fathoms. Let us know what you think of the new Scuba Fifty, as well as the big Geneva Watch Days releases, in the comments below, or in our new Slack community, which you can join by clicking here.

Time On Track returns to discuss round 15 of the 2023 Formula 1 season, which saw rain free racing happen around Italy's historic Monza circuit. Ferrari threw everything but the kitchen sink at their car this week to bring the fight to Red Bull around their home track, and they damn near succeeded. While the inevitable 10th straight Verstappen victory indeed came to pass, Carlos Sainz managed to lead the first 19 laps from pole, providing us our first bit of meaningful racing at the front of the pack this season. Sergio managed to nab P2, but Carlos earned a P3 finish for his heroic drive, as well as the well deserved driver of the day award.

This week, a special episode of the podcast, hosted by Worn & Wound cofounder Zach Weiss and featuring fellow cofounder James Helms and Jonathan Ferrer, founder of Brew Watch Co. Jonathan has been a friend to us at Worn & Wound since the earliest days of Brew, and this conversation is a fun look back at the history of his brand, including an early Worn & Wound limited edition, the watch that saved Brew, and the triumph of the hugely successful Metric. Jonathan and Zach also give us the inside story on the just launched Brew x Worn & Wound Metric Regulators, a colorful and slightly tweaked version of the original Metric that you can read more about right here.

The summer break is behind us, and we return for another episode of Time On Track, covering round 14 of the Formula 1 season in the Netherlands, at the Zandvoort circuit. At this point in the season, there are two things we can come to expect: a Verstappen win, and rain coming into play over the race weekend. As we've become accustomed to in recent races, rain did play a role throughout the weekend, and while there were a few predictable effects of this, for the most part, the race ended in somewhat predictable fashion. And that's a credit to the drivers this week.

Today on the podcast, Blake Buettner is joined by Worn & Wound cofounder James Helms and Chad Tsagris, who runs Laco, Out of Order and other brands in the United States, and is the SVP of Watch Gang (you’ve almost certainly seen him at a Windup if you’ve attended one recently). This is a wide ranging discussion covering why it’s scary to dive into vintage watches, the difficulty surrounding buying a Rolex at retail, and the late breaking news that Rolex has bought Bucherer, the longtime luxury watch retailer. This episode is brought to you by Worn & Wound+, a free online community for like-minded enthusiasts to connect and discuss watches, gear, and more.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach and Blake are discussing a wide range of topics, inspired by the recent debut of our “Watches and What Else” series, focusing on the artwork of Bryan Braddy. Just on the Worn & Wound team alone, the staff represents a huge variety of watch adjacent interests, and we’ll be digging into those more on the site in the coming months. Everything from record collecting, to mechanical keyboards, to open water diving is on the table. But first, we’ve got a new releases to talk about from Brew in the first ever mechanical iteration of the Metric, and a very clever memento mori watch from Mr. Jones.

This week on the podcast, we’ve got a full roster of Worn & Wound team members on the mic to talk about some of the recent news in the watch world, as well as a topic that’s near and dear to all of us: navigating the enthusiast forums to sell your watches online. Zach Kazan recently wrote an editorial that asked if this process has ever been more problematic, and on this episode the whole team is here to share their thoughts. There’s also a discussion about a big new release from Longines, and one of the more interesting small brands we’ve come across as of late, the Impossible Watch Company, based in Talkeetna, Alaska. All that, plus a spirited defense of The Snyder Cut, coming from Zach W. and Zach K., as you’d expect.

On this special episode of Time on Screen, we’re coming to you live from the Editorial Lounge at the Chicago Windup Watch Fair, where Zach Kazan was joined by Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships, Kyle Snarr, and Neall Brick from Citizen. They’re there to discuss Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s ninth feature film. This is one of the best watch spotting in recent years, primarily for a well documented mistake that has a Citizen chronograph on Brad Pitt’s wrist that definitely didn’t exist in 1969, when the film takes place. That’s the jumping off point for a spirited discussion about the film, the complicated reaction to it, and Tarantino’s career. There’s also plenty of talk about the watch featured in the film, which was the inspiration for the recently released Citizen 50th Anniversary Tsuno Chronograph, a 1970s inspired gold tone chronograph that looks particularly at home on a bund strap. We’re grateful to our friends at Citizen for making this episode possible. Their Promaster collection is built on a century worth of technological research and innovation. The collection represents professional-grade sports watches built for sea, land, and air. Each watch is designed to overcome the elements and empower the wearer to “Go Deeper, Go Further and Go Higher” and the watch casting in Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood is a solid representation of that ethos. To learn more about the Citizen Tsuno Chronograph 50th Anniversary Limited Edition and explore the collection, head to citizenwatch.com.

A Week In Watches returns with a look at a plethora of new releases that include updates from Christopher Ward, Glashütte Original, Nomos, and Tissot. Everyone has a new dial color or case size, it would seem, but they all work well here, bringing new renditions to old favorites, and further dialing in already great platforms. The big news this week comes from Longines, who redesigned their HydroConquest family with a new collection of GMT watches. Unique colorways and a few odd details on the dial preserve some of that classic HydroConquest character, while showing some serious sings of maturity in the process. In other news, we’re about a year away from the 2024 summer Olympic games in Paris, and Omega is ready to kick things off with a new Seamaster 300commemorating the games. Omega and the Olympics go way back, like way way back, so it’s no surprise to see Omega getting a head start on things with a new LE, and we suspect that this won’t be the last to do so. Finally, can you ever have too much of a good thing? Tissot doesn’t think so, and just keeps iterating on the wildly popular PRX range, most recently with new dial colors and even a fully gold plated example in their 35mm Powermatic 80 PRX line. It should come as no surprise that they work rather well. Catch more details on these watches in our full intro. Reminder that you can catch us again in 2 weeks for more watches, people, and news in episode 62 of A Week In Watches.

This week on the podcast, Blake and Zach sit down to talk about some of the watches they’ve reviewed recently, including what might be the ultimate Zenith Defy, as well as the summer ready TAG Heuer Carrera Skipper, a reissue of one of the most sought after of all Heuers. There are also some fun new releases to talk about, including a new Vulcain with a dive table that’s tough to wrap your arms around, and a pair of new Nomos Ahois in a more compact size.

In this episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Blake Buettner are both fresh off of seeing Oppenheimer, one of the biggest and most talked about movies to be released in years, covering events that Christopher Nolan seems to think are the most important in all of human history. That might be up for some debate, but it’s just one of many things to tackle from this dense, loud, visually impressive, and head spinning film. Of course, as a period piece, there are some historical vintage watches to discuss that appear on screen, but the movie is so immersive and so full of ideas, it’s not likely to leave you distracted by watch spotting.

Time On Track returns to examine the final race before the summer break, and it's one our favorite tracks on the calendar. This is round 13, the Belgian GP at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. This was an action packed weekend that featured a sprint shootout and race, a whole lotta rain, and one inevitable winner. Max Verstappen took his 9th win of the season with a phenomenal performance starting from 6th on the grid (thanks to a new gearbox taken prior to the race). Sergio Perez got the performance he was looking for, finishing a somewhat distant second, followed closely by Charles Leclerc, and Lewis Hamilton. The McLaren team continued to look strong throughout the weekend, with some masterful driving from both Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, and were it not for a lap 1, turn 1 incident, might have seen one of them on the podium.

This week on the podcast, Blake and Kat are joined by Barbara Palumbo, a longtime fixture in the watch enthusiast community and a friend of the show who you might know better as @whatsonherwrist on Instagram. Barbara is one of our favorite personalities in the watch world, and as you’ll hear in this conversation, is an exceptional storyteller. Barbara tells us about the genesis of her children’s book inspired by an Oris watch, reminisces about watch trade shows of the past and what makes Dubai Watch Week in particular so special, and we get to hear the origin story of her own limited edition watch made in collaboration with Out of Order to celebrate her 50th birthday.

In this edition of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr recount their experience with Indiana Jones and dip into the newest installment of the franchise, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Zach gives us all the details around his recent red carpet experience at the LA premiere of the film (more on that here) and gets into the watch on Indy’s wrist—Hamilton’s classically-designed Boulton. From there the episode transitions into a first for the Time on Screen podcast, Zach gets the chance to interview the Prop Master from the film, Ben Wilkinson. Together they dive deep into the role of the ‘property master’ and how objects on screen should always help move the story forward. A big thanks to Hamilton, Disney, Lucasfilm and our guest Ben Wilkinson for making this episode a reality!
