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.
