About this episode
Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, Blake Buettner and Zach Kazan chat with Aaron Sigmond, co-author and editor of the new book, Accutron: From the Space Age to the Digital Age . Accutron is having a great year, having just relaunched with two new collections. The Spaceview 2020 and Accutron DNA are tech-forward callbacks to Accutron’s mid-century glory days, and feature a brand new electrostatic movement, a true watchmaking innovation. And the just-announced Legacy Collection recreates favorite references of noted Accutron collectors with surprising fidelity to the originals. Aaron is a noted expert on Accutron’s history, and offers a lot of great insights about where the brand stands today in this wide-ranging conversation. This week’s episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Citizen and their iconic line of Eco-Drive watches. For over 40 years, Citizen has been producing watches with Eco-Drive technology. Highly efficient and versatile, Citizen Eco-Drive watches are powered by any light – artificial, natural, and even dim light. Eco-Drive watches never need a battery replacement and once fully charged, many models will operate for 6 months with no light source. Some of our favorite Eco-Drive models include the ultra-thin Eco-Drive One, Promaster Nighthawk, and the Super Titanium Armor.
