Ok, this is it, the final episode of 2019! With it being the end of the year and all, we naturally wanted to take a look back at the year, so we pulled the team together for a little retrospective. We cover a whole range of topics, from some of the trends we noticed this year (surprise, surprise, vintage-inspired watches are still huge), to some of the year's bigger stories, as well as stories we felt should have been far bigger than they were. We also go over some of our favorite pieces of Worn & Wound content. Of course, an end of year retrospective wouldn’t be complete without looking to the future, so we also chat about what we're excited for in 2020.

This week’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast is brought to you Victorinox Swiss Army. If you’re a longtime reader of Worn & Wound, then you’re no stranger to Victorinox Swiss Army.
