• Ep 412: Felix and Andy from OT: The Podcast

  This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach is joined by Andy Green and Felix Scholz, hosts of OT: The Podcast. Over the last several years, Felix and Andy have developed OT into one of the top watch podcasts out there with a series of fantastic interviews with watch industry insiders, their own great rapport and sense of humor, and an enthusiastic community of fans (be sure to check out their Discord here). The last time Felix and Andy came on the Worn & Wound podcast, they had just released their first (and so far only) collaborative watch with anOrdain, and on this episode they spend some time reflecting on that experience and teasing what might be ahead. They also discuss the unique nature of watch enthusiasm in their native Australia, the appeal of the Apple Watch, how their attitude towards press trips has changed as the years pass, and some of their favorite releases from the year so. To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

• Ep 411: How to Start a Collection in 2025

  On the podcast this week, Zach Kazan welcomes Devin Pennypacker to discuss a topic that comes up in the real life conversations of watch enthusiasts fairly often: how do you start a collection? When you’re the watch collector in a group of non-collectors, it’s something that’s inevitably asked from time to time by those who are curious about the hobby. Starting a collection, or entering the hobby at any level, is a very different proposition in 2025 than at any other time we can remember, so Zach and Devin provide some advice based on the current state of the watch world. They discuss everything from how to find your specific niche community within the larger watch world, how to filter out all the noise from social media, and of course they offer some suggestions for specific watches and brands to look at if you’re just getting started. Before all of that, Zach and Devin also run through some of the notable recent releases from the last week, including a MoonSwatch that has generated no shortage of hot takes, and a Timex pulled from the archives. And stay tuned until the end of the episode for a new round of cultural recommendations. We’d love to hear from you about the best ways to enter the hobby in 2025. What advice would you give to someone with a burgeoning interest in watches that Zach and Devin didn’t cover? To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.
