We return to the newness on episode 93 of A Week in Watches. There have been a lot of very interesting releases in the last few weeks, ranging from new versions of popular watches to new complications from unexpected sources. The episode begins by looking at the Christopher Ward Bel Canto Classic, a neo-traditional take on the brand’s runaway hit. Following this, we leave Earth to discuss the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch Mission to Earth Phase. Yes, it’s another MoonSwatch, but this one does something no other watch has done before.

Afterward, we discuss the new Tudor Pelagos FXD GMT. The first Pelagos GMT from the ever-popular brand, it brings the FXD back to its military roots. Finally, we talk about some new Seiko Prospex divers that, to be frank, have us altogether confused.

This week’s episode is brought to you by the Windup Watch Shop, where the all new the Timex X Worn & Wound WW75 V3 is now available. Limited to 500 per color and priced at $239, these fun, colorful watches were inspired by the end of summer and a desire to keep it going. Pick one up today at Windup Watch Shop.

Ok, so the name “Worn Out” didn’t hit quite as well as we had hoped (I guess you have to know Blake and Zach well to get their sense of humor), but the episode itself was a success. So, the show is now called “Unwinding with Blake and Zach,” which has less negative connotations. Live and learn.

In episode 2 Blake and Zach reflect a bit about Windup Watch Fair NYC, how it went, etc, and then move on to the topic of monetization. An ever misunderstood and touchy topic, they discuss a bit about the early days of Worn & Wound, how they attempted to monetize the site, what they learned, and where it has led. This also brings up another touchy and ever important topic, that of integrity, a concept that will be revisited on future episodes as well.

THIS IS BRAZIL!

The last month has been a roller coaster when it comes to the Drivers and Constructors Championship. As rain, the great equalizer, became a certainty for the Brazilian GP, we found ourselves licking our chops at the battle we were sure to witness amongst the frontrunning teams. Instead, Max Verstappen displayed one of the greatest driving performances of all time. We discuss the odds that were stacked against him as well as what this does for his legacy.

While Max found himself dancing in the rain, McLaren and driver Lando Norris put forward a performance that left much to be desired. In one race, their path to a Drivers championship was as good as done while the path to a Constructors title suddenly became perilous. All this while Alpine, a team often relegated to the bottom half of the field, found themselves rounding out the podium and bringing home a season’s worth of points.

Take a listen as we break down the race, the crashes, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Brazilian GP

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, we’ve assembled a full house for a good old fashioned new release roundup. It’s been a little while since we’ve done one of these, but there have been so many notable new watches coming to market in recent weeks and months, we felt like it was time. Joining Zach Kazan this week we’ve got Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker to unpack big releases from Tudor, Christopher Ward, Omega, and more.

Be sure to let us know what you think of these new releases, and let us know in the comments which ones we might have missed – we had a big list of watches and definitely didn’t get to all of them in this recording.

This episode was sponsored by Trafford Watch Co and their new Touring GMT. The latest from the Austin-based watchmakers is inspired by the relentless spirit of musicians and their fans. The Touring GMT has independent hour and GMT hands so you can seamlessly track the time in your next venue and back at home. Available three colorways inspired by American music venues, check out the Touring GMT at the Trafford website.

What a difference a 20 second penalty makes.

It was just last week we were ready to put the nail in Lando Norris’ championship bid only to see the stewards this week wake up and realize maybe, just maybe, Max Verstappen needs a timeout. After two aggressive and some may say downright dangerous moves to keep Lando from passing him, we discuss what another week of spicy wheel to wheel battling means for the championship chase.

While those two went after each other, we saw Ferrari once again benefit. This time around, it was Carlos Sainz, who may have had his best weekend all year, grabbing pole for the race. Though Max made an early run, taking P1, he snatched the position back, leading the rest of the way to the flag. With him and Charles Leclerc finishing 1,3, Ferrari is now in second place for the constructors championship and seem primed for a run.

Take a listen as we break down the race, the Redbull’s tough weekend, and the surrounding storylines of the 2024 Mexico City GP.

Time on Screen is back this week with an all new episode, just in time for Halloween. We’re pretty big fans of horror movies around here and don’t need much of an excuse to talk about them on a podcast, but we’ll gladly take one. So today, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are digging into what is perhaps the greatest horror movie ever made, The Shining. Directed by Stanley Kubrick, the 1980 adaptation of the Stephen King novel has a complex history, from a difficult production to a mixed reception upon release, and decades of gradually seeping into popular culture to the point where the film’s impact is undeniable. Zach and Kat discuss all of that and more, and also dip into Doctor Sleep, the underrated 2019 sequel directed by Mike Flanagan.
