This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we welcome the newest member of the team, Ricardo Sime. If you’re part of the NYC watch scene, you’ve probably seen Ricardo photographing various meetups and events, and we’re thrilled to have him on board. In this episode, Ricardo sits down with Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan to talk about a whole range of topics, including what brought Ricardo to the hobby in the first place, the finer points of pairing watch straps, and the search for a thin mechanical chronograph. We also spend some time diving back into the recent crop of releases from Audemars Piguet, and why you’re not likely to see Ricardo wearing his AP hat, at least not yet.
