The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re recapping the biggest Windup ever. Zach Kazan welcomes Worn & Wound cofounder and CEO Blake Malin as well as Lorier brand manager Ilya Ryvin to break down the show, talk about the future, and, yes, address those long lines. This is a really fun conversation that we think will shed some light on what goes on behind the scenes during a Windup, how the scale has changed over the years, and what it’s like to be on both sides of the booth during the busiest watch weekend of the year.

It’s Q&A time on the podcast once again. This week, Zach Kazan welcomes Taylor Mason and Cait Bazemore to the pod to field questions on a range of topics submitted, as always, by our Worn & Wound+ Slack community and Instagram followers. On this episode, questions are posed on a variety of subjects including the recently completed Windup Watch Fair in New York City (which was still a few weeks away at the time of this recording), our most anticipated fall movies, lume emission colors, and ethical concerns in selling personal watches.

This week on the podcast, we welcome Taylor Mason to the Worn & Wound team. Taylor is Worn & Wound’s new Media Director, and we thought it would be a good idea to get him in front of the mic to introduce him to our podcast audience. Taylor is a talented filmmaker whose work will probably be familiar to many podcast listeners (he’s produced a number of videos with Worn & Wound, all of which we discuss in the episode). This conversation is all about getting to know Taylor: the watches he’s interested in, his approach to watch content, and more

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss sit down to talk about a string of new releases from brands both large and small. New watches from Rolex and Hublot (with Jeff Koons) were the big headline grabbers in September, but there were also interesting new watches from Grand Seiko, H. Moser (their most affordable watch ever, and it’s digital) as well as a deep cut Swedish indie. 

Let us know in the comments what caught your eye in September, and what you thought of the marquee releases discussed in this episode.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are interrogating some watch industry conventional wisdom. There’s a lot of it out there. From the idea that it’s the “story” that matters most in a watch, to the principle of “buying what you love,” and even the idea that everyone needs a certain type of watch in their collection. This is a fun conversation and Zach and Kat definitely poke some holes in some watch industry ideas that perhaps don’t stand up completely to close scrutiny. Let us know in the comments if we’re on the right track! 

And stay tuned until the end of the pod for some great cultural recs from Zach and Kat, including a produce recommendation from Kat (a first on the podcast) and one of Zach’s most watched trailers ever for a movie that looks absolutely insane.

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!
