The Worn & Wound Podcast is a weekly discussion of watches. We cover the latest news and reviews on wornandwound.com, bring you our first-hand account of watch events from around the world, and sit down with our friends and colleagues from the watch industry to get their take on the latest in watches.
WELCOME TO S(P)IN CITY!
Formula 1 returned to the gambling capital of the world for the second time and it showed. The Grand Prix seemed more mature as the hiccups of year one disappeared. We were instead left with great, competitive racing as we saw overtake after overtake with three highly contested DRS zones. When it was all said and done, we had Mercedes getting their 60th 1,2 with George Russell bringing home his third Grand Prix win. We talk about Mercedes’ overall dominance throughout the weekend.
The silver arrows were not the only ones to bring home hardware this weekend. Carlos Sainz snagged third, somehow navigating through the childish bemoaning of his teammate Charles Leclerc after the race. The biggest trophy went to Max Verstappen, who claimed his 4th straight driver’s championship with a finish ahead of Lando Norris. We talk about this accomplishment as well as what the teams have left to fight for over the last 2 races of the year.
Take a listen as we break down the race, the overtakes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Las Vegas GP.
This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Tony Traina to the show to talk about the state of watch media, what’s getting him excited about the watch world right now, and what’s next for his newsletter, Unpolished Watches (formerly Rescapement). Tony has been writing about watches and watch collecting for about five years now, including a two year stint with Hodinkee, and has built up a loyal audience with his detailed and impeccably researched articles on vintage watches, the auction scene, and some of the most talked about new releases, including many that are squarely in the enthusiast sphere.

This week’s episode of A Week in Watches is a bit of a doozy. We start off a with some quick coverage of few new releases from C Ward, Studio Underd0g, and Jaeger LeCoultre. After, we take a more in depth look at the new Serica 1174 Parade, the brand’s first proper dress watch. Finally, the bulk of the episode is spent discussing the results of the GPGH Awards, while taking a closer look at some of the winners.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Blake Malin for a long in the works collection update episode. From time to time (usually after one or more members of the team have acquired some particularly cool watches) we like to get in front of our mics and talk about why we added a particular watch to the rotation. It just so happens that Zach, Kat, and Blake have all added multiple watches to the collection after some major collection reshuffling, so this episode actually covers quite a bit of new watch ground.
Plus, since we have Blake on the podcast this week, we also talk a little bit about his new podcast with Zach Weiss, Unwinding. You can find the first two episodes of Unwinding (formerly known as Worn Out) in your Worn & Wound podcast feed right now. This ongoing series will feature the Worn & Wound cofounders sharing behind the scenes stories about the company’s history, and insight gained through over a decade of being involved in the watch industry.

On today’s episode of Changing Gears, Kat Shoulders and Garrett Jones are joined by Erin Daly and Paul Hooker. Erin and Paul are both pilots based out of Phoenix, Arizona. They have grown a big Instagram following as they document their travels and experiences on social media. Kat was able to go and visit with them just a few months ago, and they recollect their time together as well as get into the nitty gritty on how to get your pilot’s license. Turns out it’s not that scary!
Big thanks to Citizen for making this episode possible. As some of you may know, Citizen celebrated 35 years of the Promaster line this year and these watches were created to meet the demands of professionals active in the most challenging environments in the air, land, or sea. Super fitting for folks like Erin & Paul. Check out the new Special Edition Promaster x Sikorsky S-92 that was produced in collaboration with the American aircraft manufacturer and has become Paul’s new daily wearer.
We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners! Kat has some awesome interviews in the works for those of you that love gear!

We return to the newness on episode 93 of A Week in Watches. There have been a lot of very interesting releases in the last few weeks, ranging from new versions of popular watches to new complications from unexpected sources. The episode begins by looking at the Christopher Ward Bel Canto Classic, a neo-traditional take on the brand’s runaway hit. Following this, we leave Earth to discuss the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Earth Phase. Yes, it’s another MoonSwatch, but this one does something no other watch has done before.
Afterward, we discuss the new Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT. The first Pelagos GMT from the ever-popular brand, it brings the FXD back to its military roots. Finally, we talk about some new Seiko Prospex divers that, to be frank, have us altogether confused.
This week’s episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop, where the all new the Timex X Worn & Wound WW75 V3 is now available. Limited to 500 per color and priced at $239, these fun, colorful watches were inspired by the end of summer and a desire to keep it going. Pick one up today at Windup Watch Shop.
Ok, so the name “Worn Out” didn’t hit quite as well as we had hoped (I guess you have to know Blake and Zach well to get their sense of humor), but the episode itself was a success. So, the show is now called “Unwinding with Blake and Zach,” which has less negative connotations. Live and learn.
In episode 2 Blake and Zach reflect a bit about Windup Watch Fair NYC, how it went, etc, and then move on to the topic of monetization. An ever misunderstood and touchy topic, they discuss a bit about the early days of Worn & Wound, how they attempted to monetize the site, what they learned, and where it has led. This also brings up another touchy and ever important topic, that of integrity, a concept that will be revisited on future episodes as well.

THIS IS BRAZIL!
The last month has been a roller coaster when it comes to the Drivers and Constructors Championship. As rain, the great equalizer, became a certainty for the Brazilian GP, we found ourselves licking our chops at the battle we were sure to witness amongst the frontrunning teams. Instead, Max Verstappen displayed one of the greatest driving performances of all time. We discuss the odds that were stacked against him as well as what this does for his legacy.
While Max found himself dancing in the rain, McLaren and driver Lando Norris put forward a performance that left much to be desired. In one race, their path to a Drivers championship was as good as done while the path to a Constructors title suddenly became perilous. All this while Alpine, a team often relegated to the bottom half of the field, found themselves rounding out the podium and bringing home a season’s worth of points.
Take a listen as we break down the race, the crashes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Brazilian GP
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’ve assembled a full house for a good old fashioned new release roundup. It’s been a little while since we’ve done one of these, but there have been so many notable new watches coming to market in recent weeks and months, we felt like it was time. Joining Zach Kazan this week we’ve got Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker to unpack big releases from Tudor, Christopher Ward, Omega, and more.
Be sure to let us know what you think of these new releases, and let us know in the comments which ones we might have missed – we had a big list of watches and definitely didn’t get to all of them in this recording.
This episode was sponsored by Trafford Watch Co and their new Touring GMT. The latest from the Austin-based watchmakers is inspired by the relentless spirit of musicians and their fans. The Touring GMT has independent hour and GMT hands so you can seamlessly track the time in your next venue and back at home. Available three colorways inspired by American music venues, check out the Touring GMT at the Trafford website.

What a difference a 20 second penalty makes.
It was just last week we were ready to put the nail in Lando Norris’ championship bid only to see the stewards this week wake up and realize maybe, just maybe, Max Verstappen needs a timeout. After two aggressive and some may say downright dangerous moves to keep Lando from passing him, we discuss what another week of spicy wheel to wheel battling means for the championship chase.
While those two went after each other, we saw Ferrari once again benefit. This time around, it was Carlos Sainz, who may have had his best weekend all year, grabbing pole for the race. Though Max made an early run, taking P1, he snatched the position back, leading the rest of the way to the flag. With him and Charles Leclerc finishing 1,3, Ferrari is now in second place for the constructors championship and seem primed for a run.
Take a listen as we break down the race, the Redbull’s tough weekend, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Mexico City GP.
