The Worn & Wound Podcast

Worn & Wound co-founders, Blake Malin and Zach Weiss, return for another episode of the Worn Out podcast. At the end of last year, Blake and Zach sat down with Mark Cho, co-founder of the menswear retailer The Armoury, to discuss his new watch brand, Temporal Works. Described by Mark as “the navy blazer” of watches, they get into the goals of the new brand, the design of the first watch, as well as general topics around men’s style. For more information on Temporal Works, check out our article from the launch here.

This week on the podcast we’re talking all things LVMH Watch Week. Last week’s launches from the LVMH brands served as the unofficial start to a new year of watch releases, with novelties on display from TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, and other brands. In this episode, Zach Kazan chats with Zach Weiss, Garrett Jones, and Liam O’Donnell about their thoughts on the new watches, what they may or may not predict for the rest of the year, and of course what worked and what didn’t when they saw the new pieces in person. 

Let us know in the comments what you think of the new LVMH Watch Week releases, we’d love to hear your thoughts on specific novelties or what you might glean about brand strategy from what was unveiled last week.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Liam O’Donnell to peel back the curtain on watch press trips. Zach just got back from Colorado with Oris, so the topic is front of mind. We reached out to members of our Worn & Wound+ Slack channel to solicit questions on press trips, how they work, and how they influence (or don’t influence) our coverage of brands and their watches. 

Let us know if you have any additional questions about press trips – this is a fun topic to discuss and this proved to be a great discussion. Hit us up in the comments with your thoughts.

Happy new year! For this first episode of the Worn & Wound podcast in 2026, the team is here to check in on what they did over their winter break. Zach Kazan hosts Liam O’Donnell and Myra Shallan to discuss all the watch related and non-watch related shenanigans they got up to over their time off. Liam and Myra both ventured outside of New York City to visit friends and family, while Zach hunkered down, turned off notifications on every device, and watched a bunch of movies. No surprise there! This is a fun conversation with lots of little tangents about traveling with watches, vintage watch collecting, public transit, and maybe even a spirited conversation about Mr. Wonderful himself.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Sam Amis to the podcast to talk about the intersection between pocket knife and watch enthusiasm. Sam is a Worn & Wound contributor, industrial designer, and knife and EDC industry veteran. He just wrote an article that seeks to show in a very specific way the ways in which the knife and watch worlds overlap from the perspective of a designer. Sam has a lot of thoughts on the things that bind these communities together, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s photographer who entered the watch community through the EDC world, also joins the podcast to provide his perspective as an enthusiast in both communities.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Liam O’Donnell is back and chatting with Zach Kazan about their favorite non-Swiss watches. They explore the idea of future non-Swiss icons, and what the importance of “Swiss Made” really is in the current watchmaking era. We’ve never been shy about highlighting great watches made around the world, and this conversation features a huge variety of future classics from some of our favorite brands.

Before that, however, there’s also an extended conversation about a pair of releases from a pair of powerhouse brands: Tudor and Omega. The new, smaller Tudor Ranger and a streamlined Planet Ocean continue to be a major topic of conversation in the watch community, and Zach and Liam weigh in with their thoughts here.
