The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss to the podcast for an old-fashioned discussion on the nature of collecting. Specifically, they’re talking about how their taste has evolved over the course of years. They drill down on how working in the industry, being exposed to a huge variety of watches, and the simple nature of time have changed their thoughts on what’s appealing, and what’s not. They also get pretty granular on specific watches from their collections’ past that represent a different era of their collecting journey, and reflect on why they’ve moved on, and what proved to be the catalyst for their moves.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Ed Jelley to talk about some of the watches they’ve each had in for review over these last few months. The summer is traditionally a slow time for the watch industry, so we took the opportunity to get as many review samples in the office as possible, and there have been a bunch of standouts. The conversation kicks off with a recap of Zach W’s review of the Otsuka Lotec No. 8, which Zach K. has been wearing a lot as well. And then Ed discusses his experience with the DWC Terra, an ultra-affordable field watch from India that has been having a bit of a viral moment as Ed prepares his review. Zach K. talks about a Moser that is (perhaps) a symbol of a changing brand, and Zach W. gets into details on a Sinn that feels like the opposite, a return to the brand’s roots. 

Let us know in the comments if there are any new (or old!) watches you’d like to see us give the full hands-on review treatment.

This week, a special, epic edition of Time on Screen on the most epic movie of the year: The Odyssey. We weren’t going to miss an opportunity to talk about the biggest movie of the year by one of our favorite filmmakers. Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders, Garrett Jones, and Ricardo Sime to talk about their favorite moments from the film, how it stands up to Nolan’s other work, and more. 

In the back half of the episode, Kyle Snarr talks to Hamilton CEO Francesca Ginocchio about the new Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition. They discuss the concept behind the watch, Christopher Nolan’s longstanding relationship with Hamilton, and more. Huge thanks to Hamilton for sponsoring this episode of Time on Screen!

Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Cait Bazemore for what might be, according to some, an exercise in futility: identifying three watches (each) under $1,000 that have been released this year. With all the chatter about rising prices (and Geneva Watch Days coming up, an event not known for its orientation toward value) the team thought it would be worthwhile to identify some truly affordable watches that have come to market recently. What they’ve come up with is a good mix of some of the usual suspects, as well as some surprising newcomers. 

We also have our usual cultural recommendations, including a directive from our friend Mark Cho to participate in his Ideal Watch Size survey which can be found hereand closes on Saturday evening. You can find links to our previous coverage of this survey from past years below. It’s always valuable and provides a ton of insight into our perceptions on what’s big, small, and somewhere in between.

The word has been out for a little over a week, but in case you missed the news, Worn & Wound acquired Lorier. We’re super excited about it. Before the news went public (save for a small leak), Blake, James, and Zach sat down with Lauren and Lorenzo Ortega, the founders of Lorier, to discuss the acquisition. It’s a very open, honest conversation about what led up to the decision as well as about our goals now that we are working together.
