• Ep 406: Previewing the Windup Watch Fair Chicago

  This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re previewing the upcoming Windup Watch Fair in Chicago. Blake Malin hosts and is joined by Kyle Snarr and Nelly Calhoun to discuss all things Windup as we get ready to continue the Fair’s ten year anniversary celebration with our biggest and best shows yet. This year’s show features over 40 exhibiting brands, including old favorites and some brands making their Windup debut. Doxa, Celeste, Watch Craft, and Tudor are among the brands you’ll see at Windup for the first time in Chicago when the show opens on Friday, and the team highlights what you can expect from them along with our lead sponsors: Casio, Atelier Wen, Oris, Citizen, and Christopher Ward. Also covered in this episode are some of the brands and members of the local Chicago watch community that will be at the show, including Oak & Oscar and Hampden. And as always, there’s a ton of additional programming at Windup – there will be panels and live podcasts throughout the weekend. Of course, all of this programming (and show itself) is free and open to the public. The Windup Watch Fair begins on Friday July 11 and runs through Sunday July 13. We’ll be at Venue West in Chicago, located at 221 N Paulina Street.

• Ep 405: Summer Travel Q&A

  It’s Q&A time once again on the Worn & Wound podcast, and we’ve got a bunch of fun questions this month from our Worn & Wound+ listeners covering a huge range of topics. Zach and Devin are fielding questions on how they feel about gradually increasing the prices they pay for their personal watches, favorite rubber and leather straps, and purchases inspired by watches seen in movies and television. There are also some great travel related questions, just in time for summer vacation. And, of course, there are plenty of tangents, including our thoughts on the naming of a new director in the James Bond franchise and watch choice etiquette on press trips.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.

• Time on Screen: The Grand Budapest Hotel

  There’s a new Wes Anderson movie in theaters, but that’s only part of the reason we were inspired to cover The Grand Budapest Hotel for this latest edition of Time on Screen. Faithful readers might remember a recent release from Maurice de Mauriac with a pretty direct link to the film. There’s also Anderson’s recent collaboration with Montblanc (timed to coincide with the release of The Phoenician Scheme) that certainly appeals to our own interest in writing instruments as well. Gear Patrol has the full story on the pen – is there anything more Wes Anderson than the layout of that limited edition packaging? But ultimately, we just really love The Grand Budapest Hotel and didn’t need much of a reason to discuss it. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode (they also covered The Life Aquatic here, which you should listen to if you haven’t already), and the focus the conversation on where Grand Budapest sits in Anderson’s filmography. More than a decade removed from the film’s release, it now seems pretty clear that it represents a dividing line in Anderson’s career. Zach and Kyle also spend some time talking about the great Ralph Fiennes performance in this film, as well as their favorite scenes. 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 404: Collecting Neo-Vintage Sleepers from Seiko, Timex, and More with Tommy DeMauro

  This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don’t have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality. In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy’s articles that he’s written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.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 403: New June Releases from Seiko, Tudor, Breitling, and More

  This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on the mic to chat about a bunch of new releases we’ve seen in the last month or so. And folks, if it wasn’t already clear, it’s summer watch season. It seems like just about every brand wants to sell you a summer watch this month. We didn’t set out to provide a list of new summer watches specifically, but that’s what watch brands are putting out into the world in these warmer months. Among the new watches discussed are sporty watches from big brands like Tudor and Breitling, as well as a surprising limited edition from Seiko and a different spin on the summer watch from Citizen. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite recent release is (“summer watch” or not) and let us know if we missed anything you’d like us to discuss on a future episode.  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.
