This week we’ve got Felix’s chat with Ming Thein, the self-described Supreme Overlord of Horologer Ming, one of the most exciting and prolific young watch brands, who have racked up 62 references in only six years. Felix and Ming spend a lot of time chatting about the incredible new Ming LW.01, which Ming believes is the lightest mechanical watch ever made, coming in at 8.8 grams for the manual and 10.8 grams for the automatic.

LVMH Watch Week, which was recently held in Miami, marks the start fo the flood of new releases for the year, and for our first news episode, we fly through some of the highlights from TAG Heuer, Hublot, Bulgari and Zenith. We also chat about the new Piaget Polo 79 and Taylor Swift’s watch choker.

This week Andy flies solo, chatting to Verne Ho, the man behind Watch Studies, which bills itself as the only dedicated tool and resource for watch photography, helping watch lovers to tell better stories about the watches they love. Verne is an experienced photographer and creative director, and we find out how he’s gone from watch-adjacent to full-blown nerd.

As Andy and Felix enjoy their summer down under, the Dubai Files continues to deliver. This week Felix chats to Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer, and it's not your average watch exec interview. Typically, it's a challenge to get a CEO to talk about anything but the watches, but in our chat with Studer, we ended up talking far more about the Enlightenment and philosophy (and how it relates to the business of watches) than is usual.

In the last episode of 2023, Andy and Felix — full of festive cheer — look back on the highs and lows of 2023. From the biggest surprise of the year to the trend they wish would go away and the watch they’d actually spend their own hard-earned cash on.

Felix caught up with the effervescent Davide Cerrato at Dubai Watch Week, who’s starting to feel comfortable in the top job at Bremont after six months. Felix and Davide chat about what he’s been up to, but most importantly, what he’s got planned for the next evolution of Bremont.

Jason Heaton, everyone’s favourite diving watch guy, is back! Last time we had the pleasure of Heaton’s dulcet tones in our ears, he was talking about his debut novel Depth Charge. Now he’s back with a brand new novel: Sweetwater. Sweetwater sees the return of Tusker, the marine archaeologist, but now the action is a bit closer to home: the icy waters of Lake Superior.

Jean-Claude Biver is one of the most important individuals in modern watchmaking, a man with a legendary CV and a long legacy. These days, though, it’s his own name on the dial, and when Felix had a surprise interview at Dubai Watch Week, it was finding out how Biver senior has transitioned from running mega watch groups to working with a small family business.

Alan Bloore — better known as Hammer — is a legend in the world of collecting, particularly when it comes to Panerai. He’s been collecting watches since the 1980s, and, in a few days, Hammer’s watch collection is going under the hammer at Sotheby’s New York. Hammer is selling because, in his own words, “it’s time to get my affairs in order.”

Felix is back from sunny Dubai, and he’s got plenty of tales to tell. Andy and Felix debrief about the latest edition of this regional watch show with an ever-increasing international reach. From some absolutely wild wrist-spotting to even wilder weather, there’s a lot going on at DWW, and that’s before we get to the formal programming and watch releases.

There’s happenings and drama a-plenty at the moment. Patek Philippe released a watch with a face on it, Andy almost bought a Greubel Forsey, and we have some thoughts about the GPHG winners. Finally, the Timepiece Gentleman is facing jail time, as the FBI has arrested Anthony Farrer, charging him with wire fraud. 

Worn & Wound has always had a clear point of difference from other watch websites, and Senior Editor Zach Kazan is one of the team who’s making sure that Worn & Wound maintains a strong editorial voice.

Felix and Andy catch up on what’s been happening on and off the wrist. We chat through the latest watch releases from TAG Heuer and Nomos, as well as ID Genève’s sustainable mission and new celebrity backer in the form of Leo DiCaprio.

We chat to Sylvain Berneron, a talented watch designer who is in charge of design at Breitling and is also the founder of his own watch brand, Berneron, which has debuted the impressive, elegant Mirage.

Any episode of OT: that features one of the Collective Horology gang is a guaranteed good time, and today’s chat with Asher Rapkin is no exception.

Today we chat to Tom from Belgium, who you may well recognise from his Instagram account @bowlofsalmon. Tom is a talented photographer and enthusiastic collector who combines both with great effect.

Felix and Andy celebrate 200 episodes by chatting about the latest from Blancpain x Swatch, IWC’s Big lot Roadshow, Geneva Watch Days, Nomos and more.

Double trouble today with Lewis Heath and Imogen Ayres, who you might know as founder and founding team member of anOrdain — but if you’re hoping for an in-depth chat on enamel, you’ll be disappointed. Instead we’re talking about Paulin Watches, a Scottish brand that anOrdain has recently acquired and has big plans for.

Today’s episode comes straight from our secure audio archive — a short and razor-sharp chat with Zenith CEO Julien Tornare. Felix chats with Julien about how he solved the problem of the brand being more famous for its movements than the name on the dial, how the brand went hyperactive during the pandemic, and what that momentum means for the future.

Linde Werdelin, founded in 2002, is one of the pioneers of the modern independent watch scene, with a modern aesthetic and distinctive look, full of interesting angles and broad facets. Andy speaks to Jorn about the development of the brand, how the watch industry has changed over the years.
