It finally happened. For the first time in more than a year of racing, Max Verstappen had a DNF. Opening the door wide open for challengers on the rest of the grid. While also finally answering the question the higher ups at Red Bull have always wanted answered: can Checo pick up the pieces in situations like this and bring the car home with at least a podium?

That question may have been answered two fold this week with Checo having a poor showing in what many consider the most dominant car on the grid. Adding salt to that wound was 2025 free agent Carlos Sainz showing us he has that dawg in him, bringing his Ferrari home for an amazing victory. Add a questionable move towards the end of the race and tons of storylines during it, and the race was quite an event. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts on the Australian GP.

This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat are joined by Ed Jelley to chat about two of the biggest watch releases of the year so far: new divers from Seiko and a brand new white dialed Speedmaster Professional from Omega. These new watches generated a lot of buzz when they were unveiled within days of each other recently, and with Ed owning both a Speedy Pro and a prior version of the Seiko 62MAS influenced diver unveiled recently, we knew we had to get his take on both. 

Later, Zach, Kat, and Ed discuss their favorite watches under $1,000, inspired by a recent feature on the website. As Ed points out, this is a great time to have $1,000 to spend on a watch, with an unending variety of styles to choose from. The group talks through some of their favorites from Brew, Hamilton, Lorier, Doxa, and more.

This week on Time on Screen, Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, and Blake Malin sit around a Sand Worm popcorn bucket and talk about the biggest movie of the year to this point: Dune Part Two. We don’t always cover new releases on Time on Screen, but with a movie this big we couldn’t not discuss it. Of course, it has a fairly notable watch tie-in, but the focus of this conversation is mostly our shared immensely positive reaction to our first viewings of the Dune sequel. 

Given that Part Two effectively solidifies Dune as a major science fiction franchise, we also thought it would be fun to talk about our favorite sci-fi/fantasy franchises of all time. Zach, Blake, and Zach offer their top three picks in a conversation that gets pretty nerdy pretty fast, but that’s kind of what you’d expect for such a sci-fi heavy discussion. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your own favorite sci-fi/fantasy franchises are, and if you agree with our picks.

Welcome to episode 76 of A Week in Watches. As said in the last episode, much of the next episode, which is this episode, will be dedicated to the British Watchmaker’s Day. An event that took place on Saturday, March 9th, in London, the British Watchmaker’s Day hosted over 40 brands and 1,000 guests for a very successful first go. But before we go over that, we first have to look at a couple of new releases from Omega and Seiko.

This episode is sponsored by William Wood and their newly released Fire Exit Watch. The watch features a Swiss-made Sellita SW220 day date movement, a green glow, and a day complication with seven illustrated days of the week featuring multiple fun references to the fire exit man icon. Click here to learn how William Wood expanded their firefighter-heritage brand with this creative and colorful watch.

On today’s episode of Changing Gears, Kat is joined by Ben Carpenter, Marketing Director at Camera West.

This week, Zach welcomes Christopher Chew to the podcast. Christopher is a watch collector with a materials science background, and has experience in a variety of fields including aviation, apparel, and in the startup space, where he’s been involved in some truly cutting edge projects. Christopher has a really interesting perspective on watches and sees the materials they’re made of as a new frontier of innovation in the watch industry. In this conversation, Zach and Christopher run through some common misconceptions about the materials used in watchmaking, and discuss what might be on the horizon in the realm of watchmaking materials given where we’re at now.

Can Redbull be matched, let alone be beaten?

For the second Grand Prix of the year, F1 headed to the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, a track where drivers spend most of their time at full throttle, navigating fast corners and long straights. Two things the RB20 seems to enjoy quite nicely as we saw a Red Bull 1-2 once again at the end of this race weekend. With the team now on cruise control, we wonder if internal turmoil may be the only thing that stands in the way of continued greatness. 

Beyond Red Bull doing Red Bull things, P3-P20 offered enough to keep an F1 fan glued to the screen. From an appendicitis sidelining Carlos Sainz, to a rookie getting tested in the fires of Jeddah. We even had a couple of wily veterans playing keepaway with P10. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of what we learned from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.

On this special Oscar preview episode of Time on Screen, Zach Kazan welcomes Kyle Snarr to the podcast to talk about all things Academy Awards, ahead of the movie industry’s big night on Sunday. Zach and Kyle offer their predictions on who they think will take home trophies in the major categories, and also discuss who they’d give the big awards to if it were completely up to them. Be sure to listen to this one ahead of the Oscars telecast on Sunday night! And if you listen after, feel free to clock how wrong Zach and Kyle might have been in their predictions in the comments below.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss for a discussion about all things pertaining to calendar watches, particularly perpetual calendars. Last week was Leap Day, a calendar event that is celebrated with great enthusiasm by watch lovers, who get really excited to see their perpetual calendars do their thing when the calendar changes from 2/29 to 3/1. Zach and Zach run through some of their favorite perpetuals in this conversation, and discuss what draws them to these watches in the first place.

The first race of a very much anticipated 2024 season is in the books, only to see Max Verstappen continue his on track dominance. In this episode of Time on Track, Ricardo and Amarveer try to make sense of a poor showing from multiple top 5 teams at a Bahrain GP many would say was decided in the opening 5 laps. From Mercedes to Ferrari, each team saw its fair share of issues, shedding light on just where they stack up against the Bull’s.

But what the race lacked in team vs. team competition, it made up for in teammate vs. teammate storylines. As his year long audition for a seat next year begins, is Carlos Sainz showing us he’s better than Charles Leclerc? Will Daniel Ricciardo and Yuki Tsunoda fight like this all season? Will Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly finally be friends now that they have a common enemy: the car? Tune in and listen to this episode to get our thoughts on the first Grand Prix of the 2024 season.
