40. Worn & Wound, Watches, Windup, and Zach Weiss

It turns out that this episode of the Dogwatch is brought to you by the letter “W,” a show that can be described with an alliterative string on watches starting with our guest, Zach Weiss of Worn & Wound. Being one of the co-founders of Worn & Wound, Zach describes how the business grew from an inauspicious blog intended to help a friend choose a watch into what is now one of the primary sites for watch journalism and commerce. In a phrase, we learn it is “A place to discover watches and experience enthusiasm.” In our conversation, we talk with Zach about watches he is excited about, including two new ones on his own wrist, the goals and aspects of Worn & Wound, such as their main site for news and reviews, the Windup Watch Shop, and Windup Watch Fair. We also look ahead to the upcoming Windup fair in Chicago, and to new releases.
