The Worn & Wound Podcast

After years of missed opportunities and straight up bad luck, Charles Leclerc can now finally call himself a Monaco GP winner. All in a race weekend where he looked like the dominant driver with the dominant car from the start. However, as great as this victory was, we take a look at all the things that made the Monaco GP an absolute snoozefest for most of the race.Thankfully, what the race lacked in overtakes, it more than supplied in rumors and spicy interviews. We have Alpine, who has a tumultuous driver pairing that may see Esteban Ocon at the least suspended, if not let go. Aston Martin, who seems to be on the hunt for a new team principal. And finally Mercedes, where one driver is sure he’ll never out qualify his teammate. And not for a lack of talent.Finally, we take a look back at the moments in F1 history that sealed our love for the sport. (The type of love where you sit through a race where there is no change in the top 10 on the grid.)Tune in and listen to this episode for that and more on the 2024 Monaco GP.

This week on the podcast, Zach and Kat sit down to answer your questions in our monthly Q&A. We got a ton of great questions, as we always do, from our Instagram followers and our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. Among the topics discussed: our favorite summer watches, the concept of a “backup” watch, and how we keep track of our growing collections. Kat and Zach also consider a question on whether they’d let a certain watch brand run the world.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

This week on Time on Screen, we’re talking about Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk in an episode sponsored by our friends at William Wood Watches. In celebration of the release of their most ambitious watch to date, William Wood CEO Jonny Garrett joined Zach Kazan and Kyle Snarr on stage at the San Francisco Windup Watch Fair to talk about Nolan’s film and share the story of the Dunkirk Watch. The new limited edition watch was made in partnership with and in tribute to the Massey Shaw, a London Fire Brigade Fire Boat that played an important role in evacuating British forces from Dunkirk Beach in the early stages of World War II. The watch is filled with small and large tributes to the Massey Shaw. The dial is modeled after the telegraph found in the wheelhouse of the Massey Shaw used by the Captain on the bridge to order engineers in the engine room to power the vessel, for example. And each example of the Dunkirk Watch will have a small piece of the Massey Shaw’s engine fitted into the caseback, which depicts Operation Dynamo, the plan that led to the historic evacuation.In this episode, you’ll hear Zach, Jonny, and Kyle discuss what Dunkirk means to them, and why they feel it’s among Nolan’s best films. And Jonny goes into detail about the making of the Dunkirk Watch, including his experience onboard the actual Massey Shaw, which is currently being refurbished ahead of the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. William Wood Watches have donated £10,000 GBP to the Massey Shaw Partnership Trust to help fund this effort, which will see the Massey Shaw cross the English Channel next year along with other “Little Ships” that were part of Operation Dynamo to commemorate the anniversary. You can find out more about the Dunkirk Watch and purchase one at the William Wood Watches website.

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! While, yes, there is a genuine day of remembrance on Monday, it’s also the weekend that unofficially marks the beginning of Summer. So, you’re probably enjoying your relaxing Sunday morning and having a cup of coffee. And what goes perfectly with coffee? A Week in Watches, of course!Happy Memorial Day Weekend! While, yes, there is a genuine day of remembrance on Monday, it’s also the weekend that unofficially marks the beginning of Summer. So, you’re probably enjoying your relaxing Sunday morning and having a cup of coffee. And what goes perfectly with coffee? A Week in Watches, of course!On episode 81, we discuss some rather Summer-y new releases from Zodiac, Vertex, and Ming, as well as the new Toledano and Chan. The latter is more of a somber Winter morning, but we’ll let that slide. If you enjoy this episode, please like and subscribe; we appreciate it!This week’s episode is brought to you by William Wood, who is celebrating the release of their new Dunkirk watch. Continuing William Wood’s inspired homages to fire fighting, the Swiss-made bronze nautical watch is in collaboration with the Massey Shaw. This London fire brigade boat rescued over 600 lives off the beaches of Dunkirk in World War II. Head to WilliamWoodWatches.com to learn more and make a purchase.

On this week’s podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are putting a new spin on an old format. The “3 for $5k” column is a Worn & Wound staple (and the Reader Edition will be back very soon), but with inflation being what it is these days, we thought it was time to extend the upper limit of our budget for this thought experiment. So in this episode, Zach and Zach decide on their own personal three watch collection for $10,000. It’s interesting to see how their thought processes change (and stay the same) with more fake money to play with. Let us know how you’d spend a hypothetical $10,000 in the comments below. And if you’d like to submit your own “3 for $5k” column, you can use this link to get started.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

“You cut him! You hurt him! You see? You see? He’s not a machine! He’s a man!”Another week of racing and how things have changed. Though Max Verstappen found himself in P1 this week, on the twist and turns of the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, he had to work for the win. Previous Grand Prix winner, (feels great to say that) Lando Norris, sensed blood in the water as we were treated to a maximum push to the finish line. We think it’s safe to say McLaren is now officially giving Red Bull a run for its money.Beyond this amazing finish, many of the remaining teams found themselves cast into the roles of supporting characters this week. Mercedes is on an island by themselves as the 4th best team. Aston Martin found Stroll celebrating a P9 while his teammate struggled, which would have been chalked up to just a bad week if not for a Visa RB team that now seems game.Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts on the 2024 Emilia-Romagna GP.It was a fun episode to record and we even found time to fix the Monaco GP.

Back in the summer of 2021, we took a stab at recasting watches in well known movies (and offering some of our favorite watches from movies as well). Today, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders return to this format, with a little help from our Worn & Wound+ Slack community. First, they go over some of their favorite recent (and not so recent) examples of watches in movies (and TV!), and then they humbly suggest a few alternatives to well known watches in movies. And yes, the Hamilton Boulton in the most recent Indiana Jones film is addressed at some length, as are the watches of Jurassic Park.If you’re a watch enthusiast and a movie lover, you know that this is fertile ground for an additional episode or two, so let us know in the comments if there’s a movie you want us to recast and we’ll tackle that in a future episode.This episode is sponsored by Sternglas and their new Hamburg Chrono Mecha-Quartz. After continued requests from the community and two years of tinkering, there is now a Chronograph in the Hamburg line of watches, and there are 3 unique variations. Check out the new Sternglas Hamburg Chrono Mecha-Quartz right now. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Blake Malin hosts Zach Kazan, Kyle Snarr, and Garrett Jones (the newest member of the Worn & Wound team, and making his podcast debut!) for a debrief on the show.

The Miami GP weekend is just getting started. We cover all the sunny Sprint racing action with an in-person episode from the WindUp Fair in San Francisco with special guest (and major watch and motorsport enthusiast) Josh Shanks.Beyond just racing, some very interesting story lines are developing this season leading us to ask a few questions. Now that GOAT car designer Adrian Newey is officially leaving Red Bull, what’s the next chapter in his illustrious career? What does this mean for Red Bull? Rumors are swirling around Florida man Logan Sargeant; will the Miami GP be his last race in F1? Will 17 year old Kimi Antonelli replace him? Finally, we discuss our predictions for the main event in Miami.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss are joined by Ed Jelley to finally put a bow on Watches & Wonders 2024, discussing their favorite releases from the show and their overall impressions of this year’s slate of watches. Before the Watches & Wonders talk, however, there’s a big new release from one of our favorite brands to discuss. Christopher Ward dropped the new Twelve X last week, and it quickly became the hottest topic in the watch world. Zach Weiss had a chance to see the watch in person ahead of its release, and he gives us his first impressions and a rundown of why this watch is a pretty big deal for Christopher Ward as a brand, and what it might mean for the industry as a whole.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Over the years, Garrick Watchmakers has become one of our favorite independent brands. Their distinct design language draws on the heritage of classic British watchmaking, and the watches themselves are almost entirely bespoke. Truly, each one is made to order, and clients have enormous latitude in picking out nearly every detail. Dave Brailsford is Garrick’s cofounder and joins Zach Weiss and Zach Kazan in this episode of the Worn & Wound podcast to discuss Garrick’s history, the unique challenges of running a brand where the client has such a large role in the decision making process, and painstaking production process that sees Garrick making a huge amount of each watch in-house. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.

Another week of racing and this time we find ourselves at the Chinese GP. Last time F1 graced this track, it was 2019 and many were complaining about Mercedes dominance. In 2024, Red Bull is the one with a stranglehold on the paddock and it showed in both the sprint and race with Max Verstappen taking the checkered flag in both events.Yet the storylines were still plentiful. We had Daniel Ricciardo who finally looked in form until Lance Stroll decided to live the line “Rubbing is racing”. Danny’s reaction had us wondering if an angry Ricciardo is what F1 really needs. There was also the wily old veteran in Fernando Alonso who had us glued to our seats in the closing laps of the race. We were even treated to spontaneously combusting grass. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts and observations of the 2024 Chinese GP.

Grassland explores the failures of the criminal justice system by focusing on one family in suburban New Jersey, and the draconian cannabis laws impacting their lives and the lives of those in their community. The film is a family drama above all, with authentic and grounded performances from Quincy Isaiah as well as Mia Maestro, Ravi Cabot-Conyers, and Jeff Kober in starring roles. Grassland effectively communicates the ineffectiveness of drug laws in parts of this country, which disproportionately impact minorities and have long lasting ripple effects that play out over the course of years. The new Shinola 420 Grassland Runwell, available to order today from Shinola, was designed in partnership with Quincy Isaiah, and, like the film, was created to bring awareness to the racial disparity in marijuana arrests and promote reform of the criminal justice system. In this episode of Time on Screen, Zach, Quincy, and Philip discuss the design of the watch, how the project came to be, and why this is a meaningful endeavor for all involved. A portion of the proceeds of each watch—limited to 420 pieces—is pledged to support criminal justice reform policies.

The Empire Strikes Back!Had there been any doubt as to the dominance of Red Bull after the Australian GP, the team quickly laid waste to their skeptics. With a 1-2 finish, they re-established the chokehold they have on this season of racing. Yet even with this display of excellence, the Japan GP still gave us a plethora of storylines to dive into this week.We had different tire strategies across multiple teams, with some drivers quickly realizing such strategies left them high and dry. We saw clear winners like Yuki Tsunoda, who continues to prove that he is better than this version of Daniel Ricciardo. To Sergio Perez, who bounced back after a tough week to secure P2. But we also saw clear losers. From the aforementioned Mr. Ricciardo to a Lance Stroll who just can’t seem to find the pace in a pretty decent Aston Martin. Tune in and listen to this episode for more of our thoughts and observations of the Japan GP.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are joined by  Xavier de Roquemaurel, the CEO of Czapek, one of our favorite independent brands. As you’ll hear in this interview, Xavier has an energy for watches that is unmatched, and he provides his candid opinions in this conversation on a range of topics that many watch industry CEOs will not broach publicly. Of course, there’s also plenty of talk about the brand’s latest release, just announced ahead of Watches & Wonders, and a peek behind the curtain at what goes into planning for such a huge event.To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast — now available on all major platforms including iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Soundcloud, Spotify, and more.
