About this episode
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re previewing the upcoming Windup Watch Fair in Chicago . Blake Malin hosts and is joined by Kyle Snarr and Nelly Calhoun to discuss all things Windup as we get ready to continue the Fair’s ten year anniversary celebration with our biggest and best shows yet. This year’s show features over 40 exhibiting brands, including old favorites and some brands making their Windup debut. Doxa, Celeste, Watch Craft, and Tudor are among the brands you’ll see at Windup for the first time in Chicago when the show opens on Friday, and the team highlights what you can expect from them along with our lead sponsors: Casio, Atelier Wen, Oris, Citizen, and Christopher Ward. Also covered in this episode are some of the brands and members of the local Chicago watch community that will be at the show, including Oak & Oscar and Hampden. And as always, there’s a ton of additional programming at Windup – there will be panels and live podcasts throughout the weekend. Of course, all of this programming (and show itself) is free and open to the public. The Windup Watch Fair begins on Friday July 11 and runs through Sunday July 13. We’ll be at Venue West in Chicago, located at 221 N Paulina Street.
