The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan and Zach Weiss react to this weekend’s GPHG ceremony. The GPHG is one of the glitziest events on the watch calendar, and has often been referred to as “the Oscars of watchmaking.” It’s a night where the industry’s top watchmakers, brands, and many members of the media gather to celebrate the best watchmaking of the year across a range of categories that over the years has become increasingly inclusive of some of the brands we’re most interested in here at Worn & Wound. That’s where much of this conversation takes place, discussing the ultra competitive categories segmented by price featuring brands like Ming, Christopher Ward, and Otsuka Lotec. We also focus on some of the most heated rivalries of the night, including a grudge match between Audemars Piguet and Berneron, the dominance of Chopard, and a million dollar Mystery Nut.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Mister Enthusiast himself, Phil Toledano, to the show. Phil is the cofounder of Toledano & Chan, and much of this conversation focuses on how the brand’s latest watch, the B/1 Dazzle, came about. But there’s also a lot here about the nature of collecting and enthusiasm, the impact of social media on how we see watches, and many other tangents and rabbit holes. We also trace the history of the appeal of shaped cases, stone dials, and gem setting on contemporary watches, possibly back to Phil himself.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’re recapping the biggest Windup ever. Zach Kazan welcomes Worn & Wound cofounder and CEO Blake Malin as well as Lorier brand manager Ilya Ryvin to break down the show, talk about the future, and, yes, address those long lines. This is a really fun conversation that we think will shed some light on what goes on behind the scenes during a Windup, how the scale has changed over the years, and what it’s like to be on both sides of the booth during the busiest watch weekend of the year.
