Ep 376: Jerome and Gabriel from Serica on the All New Serica Parade
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazand and Kat Shouldes talk with Jérôme Burgert and Gabriel Vachette, the co-founders of Serica. The French indie watch brand is celebrating a five year anniversary, and they’ve just released the Parade, easily their most ambitious watch to date. The ultra refined dress watch is, on the surface, a fairly dramatic departure from the brand’s elegant but sporty tool watches. But once you start digging into the details and hear the story behind the watch, you begin to realize that it’s actually squarely in the Serica wheelhouse after all. In this conversation, Jérôme and Gabriel speak frankly about the design process and the challenges they faced bringing the Parade to life, and discuss why watches like this appeal to them in the first place.Today’s episode is sponsored by DIY Watch Club.

Time On Track: THE 2024 QATAR GRAND PRIX
In a race that started with a strong move for the lead, we were all led to believe great racing would be the story of the day. Instead, we were “treated” to a Max Verstappen clinical win, five DNF’s and multiple penalties. From Lando Norris’ stop and go, to Lewis Hamilton having to drive through the pits because of speeding through the last time there, we talk about how one sideview mirror completely changed the Grand Prix.A sideview mirror that in many ways has extended the fight for the 2024 Constructors Championship. McLaren was on a smooth path to taking the title before all the Mirror Madness began. Yet in the span of a handful of laps, Lando Norris found himself at the back of the field. At the end of the day, Ferrari left Qatar still with a chance at the title. We talk about how the Hungary GP may come back to haunt McLaren if they can’t seal the deal in Abu Dhabi.Take a listen as we break down the race, the stewards, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Qatar GP.

We talk a little bit about what the showroom is all about and what to expect from the Windup Watch Shop team as it opens, just in time for the busy holiday shopping season. It’s appointment only for the time being, but you can head here for more information and to schedule a visit.We also chat about a handful of new releases that we haven’t had a chance to discuss on the podcast quite yet, including ambitious new releases from Serica and Louis Erard, as well as updated variants of old favorites from IWC and Omega.

Time On Track: THE 2024 LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX
WELCOME TO S(P)IN CITY!Formula 1 returned to the gambling capital of the world for the second time and it showed. The Grand Prix seemed more mature as the hiccups of year one disappeared. We were instead left with great, competitive racing as we saw overtake after overtake with three highly contested DRS zones. When it was all said and done, we had Mercedes getting their 60th 1,2 with George Russell bringing home his third Grand Prix win. We talk about Mercedes’ overall dominance throughout the weekend. The silver arrows were not the only ones to bring home hardware this weekend. Carlos Sainz snagged third, somehow navigating through the childish bemoaning of his teammate Charles Leclerc after the race. The biggest trophy went to Max Verstappen, who claimed his 4th straight driver’s championship with a finish ahead of Lando Norris. We talk about this accomplishment as well as what the teams have left to fight for over the last 2 races of the year.Take a listen as we break down the race, the overtakes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Las Vegas GP.
