Ep 450: Royal Pop Reactions
2w ago00:55:46Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast, what else could we possibly discuss but the launch of the Royal Pop? The new Swatch x Audemars Piguet collaboration has been the topic of conversation around the watch world, and it’s that rare release that has actually transcended our community and become a bit of a pop culture moment more broadly. The bioceramic pocket watch has proven to be divisive among watch enthusiasts, and the launch day itself was a mess, with many Swatch stores closing for the day thanks to unruly crowds. Zach Kazan welcomes Zach Weiss and Cait Bazemore to the pod this week to talk about all of it!

Transcribe →Ep 449: Monthly Q&A: AP x Swatch, Grand Seiko, and Condiment Corner
3w ago00:54:38Tap to summarizeThis week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Garrett Jones for our monthly Q&A episode. Questions this month cover topics like Grand Seiko’s release strategy, the best straps for summer, and, of course, condiments (we’re about the trademark “Condiment Corner” for use on this podcast). We also got a lot of questions on the new watches from Swatch and Audemars Piguet, which at the time of this recording were not yet announced. Literally minutes after hitting “stop” on the recording, the press release came through, and all was revealed. So you’ll hear a lot of speculation on this podcast about a watch that by the time you hear the episode will have been largely digested by the watch community, but hopefully listeners enjoy seeing how wrong (and how right!) we were in some of our thoughts on what might come from these very different brands.

Zach Kazan welcomes Kat Shoulders to the conversation, and they both have a deep appreciation for this film and have a lot to say about it.

Transcribe →Ep 445: Previewing Watches & Wonders 2026
Apr 801:02:36Tap to summarizeThis 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.

Changing Gears: Gear Updates, Blade Show, & Upcoming Trips
Apr 600:53:23Tap to summarizeThis 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!

Transcribe →Ep 444: Assessing New Releases from Longines and Omega
Apr 100:54:05Tap to summarizeThis 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.
