This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Sam Amis to the podcast to talk about the intersection between pocket knife and watch enthusiasm. Sam is a Worn & Wound contributor, industrial designer, and knife and EDC industry veteran. He just wrote an article that seeks to show in a very specific way the ways in which the knife and watch worlds overlap from the perspective of a designer. Sam has a lot of thoughts on the things that bind these communities together, and it was a pleasure to chat with him. Garrett Jones, Worn & Wound’s photographer who entered the watch community through the EDC world, also joins the podcast to provide his perspective as an enthusiast in both communities.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Liam O’Donnell is back and chatting with Zach Kazan about their favorite non-Swiss watches. They explore the idea of future non-Swiss icons, and what the importance of “Swiss Made” really is in the current watchmaking era. We’ve never been shy about highlighting great watches made around the world, and this conversation features a huge variety of future classics from some of our favorite brands. Before that, however, there’s also an extended conversation about a pair of releases from a pair of powerhouse brands: Tudor and Omega. The new, smaller Tudor Ranger and a streamlined Planet Ocean continue to be a major topic of conversation in the watch community, and Zach and Liam weigh in with their thoughts here.

Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch back to the pod to talk about the fall auction season, including the sale of a very expensive steel Patek that has the entire watch world buzzing. But that, of course, was not the only cool watch to hit the block recently, and both Zach and Griffin have identified a few additional lots that have made some news, and some that have flown well under the radar. As it happens, our recording lined up almost exactly with the end of the GPHG ceremony, so you’ll also hear our initial reactions to the big winners from the watch industry’s glitziest night.

Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode on the movie this podcast was literally made for: Back to the Future . Longtime readers and listeners might recall that in the summer of 2020 we recorded an episode of the podcast on this very film that laid the groundwork for what would eventually become Time on Screen. If there was an ever a movie worth dipping into for a second time, it’s Back to the Future . More than that, we have good reason to. It’s back in theaters for its big 40th anniversary, and Casio even released a special watch to celebrate. This episode features Zach Kazan as host, and he’s joined by Blake Malin and Kyle Snarr to dig into why this film resonates so strongly across generations 40 years after its initial release. Much of the conversation is centered on personal experiences with the movie, including early memories of seeing it in childhood. And, of course, we talk about the watches (and clocks!) seen throughout.
