This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re bringing you back to Chicago and this year’s Windup Watch Fair in the Windy City. Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders jump on the mic mere hours after returning home from one of the busiest Windups we can remember, and quickly discuss some of their impressions of this year’s event and what made it special. 

The bulk of this episode though is all about the Citizen Aqualand, one of the truly iconic dive watches of the 1980s. The Aqualand celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, and was a big focus for Citizen at this year’s Windup in Chicago. On the last day of the fair, Zach hosted a live recording of the podcast with Neall Brick, Director of Merchandising at Citizen, Ben Lowry of The Submersible Wrist & W.O.E., and artist Justin Sowders. As a panel, they cover the Citizen Aqualand from the company’s point of view, from the diver’s position, and from a creative perspective as well. Ben, Neall, and Justin also give a recap of this year’s “Windup in a Lake” dive trip, which once again brought a bit of the Windup spirit to Lake Michigan.
