The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders welcome Doug LaViolette. Doug is the founder of the Brian LaViolette Scholarship Foundation, and recently collaborated with Sheffield on a new watch that honors his late son, Brian, and raises money for the foundation named for him, which has awarded thousands of scholarships to students all over the world. Doug tells us the story of his son, what the foundation has accomplished and hopes to accomplish in the future, and of course all about the watch itself. Mostly though, this is a conversation about community, and the great ways that watches and the people in this hobby can accomplish worthwhile things.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Cait Bazemore are holding themselves accountable and talking about the watches they were wrong about. After years of collecting and working in the watch industry, Zach and Cait have both realized there have been times when they were just plain wrong about a watch, or a preconceived notion about watches in general. In the spirit of reflection, this conversation focuses on watches we misjudged – things we liked and now don’t, or vice-versa. There’s also some discussion here about principles we’ve held that we’ve come around on in one way or another. It’s a fun conversation, and of course we welcome your input: what have you been wrong about in your time in this hobby? Let us know in the comments!

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.
