    Ep 445: Previewing Watches & Wonders 2026

    This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are previewing Watches & Wonders 2026, which at this point is just days away from opening. They discuss some of the fairly large changes that are in store for this year’s show, including the addition of Audemars Piguet and Sinn, a big change in location for Moser, and a host of satellite events happening at the same time throughout Geneva. There are also, of course, a few of our famously bad Tudor predictions. It’s going to be a big year for the Black Bay P01, we just know it.  There’s also a pretty big launch today, at the moment this podcast drops. We’re finally seeing the new-look Universal Geneve, revived by Breitling CEO Georges Kern. This episode features a fairly deep dive on the Polerouter, as well as some speculation about where UG might be headed, and we also try to anticipate the enthusiast community’s reaction.  But before all that: Zach Weiss launched a watch brand! OraOrea, Zach’s new independent brand, launched on Friday with the Coriolis Pointer Date, and in this episode he shares some of his thoughts on the rollout and reception of the new collection.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

    Changing Gears: Gear Updates, Blade Show, & Upcoming Trips

    This episode of Changing Gears finds Kat and Garrett settling back into conversation after some time away, catching up through the lens of the gear that’s been shaping their daily lives. What starts with a familiar wrist and gear check quickly expands into a broader discussion on tools—watches, knives, cameras, and even keyboards—and how they intersect with both work and personal expression. There’s a thoughtful throughline on craftsmanship, particularly as Garrett shares the realities of launching a small-batch knife brand, highlighting the time, skill, and infrastructure required to bring a product to life. The conversation also touches on the practical side of creative work, from experimenting with lighter travel setups to navigating the limitations of mobile editing workflows. As always, the episode reflects the overlap between enthusiast culture and professional output, closing with a look ahead to upcoming travel, trade shows, and the shared experiences that continue to shape both perspective and process. We hope you like this new podcast format and really appreciate all the listeners! Kat has some awesome interviews in the works for those of you that love gear!

    Ep 444: Assessing New Releases from Longines and Omega

    This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are on the mic to talk about some of their recent travels, both of which involved seeing new releases from Swatch Group brands, coincidentally debuting on the very same day. They also happen to be two of the most discussed releases of the year so far, for very different reasons. Zach Kazan was in Dallas right before Windup to see the new Longines Hydroconquest, and Zach Weiss just got back from a whirlwind trip to Switzerland to see the hotly anticipated Constellation Observatory collection. This conversation covers not just our thoughts on the watches, but a read on the various reactions across the watch community, some of which were genuinely surprising.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

    Ep 442: Recapping British Watchmakers' Day and Windup Dallas

    It’s watch show season! This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are catching up right after our Windup Watch Fair in Dallas to recap that show as well as British Watchmakers’ Day, which took place the week before. It’s the start of a busy season that peaks with Watches & Wonders next month, which of course is more than just Watches & Wonders, and really more of a widespread celebration of watches across the city of Geneva.  For now, the focus is on wrapping our thoughts around British Watchmakers’ Day, now in its third year, and seemingly growing annually. Zach and Zach highlight some of their favorite watches from the day, and talk about the event we held with Arken, also quickly becoming a tradition. If you attended British Watchmakers’ Day or Windup Dallas, be sure to let us know in the comments what you saw at each event that really stood out to you. And a special shout out to anyone who came to our event with Arken in London - we had a great time and can’t wait to do it again next year.

    Ep 440 : The New IWC Portugieser Chronograph Ceratanium, and Our Thoughts on Blacked Out Watches

    This week on the podcast, Kat Shoulders is back to chat with Zach Kazan about her recent experience with IWC in Los Angeles. Most of what Kat saw she can’t discuss until Watches & Wonders embargoes lift, but the brand did drop a brand new version of their Portugieser chronograph in Ceratanium, and it has inspired a wide range of commentary across the watch community. Kat talks about her impressions of the watch itself, what makes Ceratanium special, and what its use in the Portugieser collection might mean for the future.  They also chat about three recent pilot chronographs that have all been released in the last week or so from Sinn, Benrus, and Hanhart, three very different flavors of chronograph that still sit within a very specific niche. Be sure to let us know in the comments which of these chronographs you prefer, or if you’re more interested in the “murdered out” look of the new Portugieser.   To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
