There’s a new Wes Anderson movie in theaters, but that’s only part of the reason we were inspired to cover The Grand Budapest Hotel for this latest edition of Time on Screen. Faithful readers might remember a recent release from Maurice de Mauriac with a pretty direct link to the film. There’s also Anderson’s recent collaboration with Montblanc (timed to coincide with the release of The Phoenician Scheme) that certainly appeals to our own interest in writing instruments as well. Gear Patrol has the full story on the pen – is there anything more Wes Anderson than the layout of that limited edition packaging?

But ultimately, we just really love The Grand Budapest Hotel and didn’t need much of a reason to discuss it. Zach Kazan is joined by Kyle Snarr for this episode (they also covered The Life Aquatic here, which you should listen to if you haven’t already), and the focus the conversation on where Grand Budapest sits in Anderson’s filmography. More than a decade removed from the film’s release, it now seems pretty clear that it represents a dividing line in Anderson’s career. Zach and Kyle also spend some time talking about the great Ralph Fiennes performance in this film, as well as their favorite scenes.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Worn & Wound contributor Tommy DeMauro. Tommy has been writing for Worn & Wound for a little over a year, and his work occupies a very specific niche: accessible, affordable, and highly collectible vintage and neo-vintage watches. Tommy is uniquely obsessed with finding oddball references from years past and studying them deeply, and proves through his research that you don’t have to spend much money at all to have something genuinely rare and special. Many of the watches Tommy writes about are eBay finds, and most are well under $500. Some are under $100. All of them, though, have something interesting going on in terms of their history, design, or functionality.

In this conversation, Tommy explains how he got into watches in the first place and eventually found his niche with affordable vintage watches. They also discuss some of Tommy’s articles that he’s written for the website, including guides to the Seiko Orange Monster and the truly unusual Timex Triprix. Tommy also provides some advice to listeners who might be interested in dabbling in this corner of the watch market.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on the mic to chat about a bunch of new releases we’ve seen in the last month or so. And folks, if it wasn’t already clear, it’s summer watch season. It seems like just about every brand wants to sell you a summer watch this month. We didn’t set out to provide a list of new summer watches specifically, but that’s what watch brands are putting out into the world in these warmer months.

Among the new watches discussed are sporty watches from big brands like Tudor and Breitling, as well as a surprising limited edition from Seiko and a different spin on the summer watch from Citizen. Be sure to let us know in the comments what your favorite recent release is (“summer watch” or not) and let us know if we missed anything you’d like us to discuss on a future episode.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Kat Shoulders and Zach Weiss to chat about something that’s on everyone’s mind as of late: watch pricing. Specifically, we’re wondering about the state of the “budget” watch, the space that used to be owned by inexpensive (and enthusiast favorite) Seiko sports watches. The landscape for these watches has changed considerably over the last several years, and in this episode we discuss potential reasons for that, who’s filling the void, and provide some recommendations for enthusiasts (regardless of their experience level) on brands and watches to look out for that give you plenty of bang for your buck.

Watch pricing is a hot topic right now, so don’t hesitate to get in the comments below and tell us your thoughts on the state of Seiko, your favorite value oriented watches, or anything else related to the topic.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan welcomes Griffin Bartsch to the podcast to discuss his recent experience visiting D1 Milano in, where else, Milan. D1 Milan achieved a level of viral fame a few back with their “Sketch” watch, a polycarbonate watch with a distinct look that makes it appear drawn by hand. But D1 is a lot more than the Sketch, and Griffin had a chance to look at a number of new D1 Milano pieces in the city where they were designed. It’s a genuinely surprising watch story, and speaks to the huge breadth of variety in the world of watches. This episode also features an interview Griffin recorded with D1 Milano founder Dario Spallone, who started the brand all the way back in 2013.

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Zach Weiss and Devin Pennypacker to catch up on some of the watches they’ve spotted in recent TV and movies. The inspiration for this podcast is a recent article by Zach Weiss in which he points out the blatantly fake watches used in Your Friends and Neighbors, currently airing on Apple TV+. Zach takes us through not only the mistakes made in this show, but a possible error in Sinners, still in theaters, and a famous shot in Breaking Bad where a character uses a chronograph in a way that we’re pretty sure nobody ever has. The group also chats about some notable watch spotting in other recent films and TV shows, including The Last of Us, Thunderbolts (sort of), and even Saturday Night Live.
