In this episode, Blake Malin hosts Events Manager Nelly Calhoun and Head of Partnerships Kyle Snarr to get into all the details of the New York City show to help you prepare and to get the most out of the fair.
This year, the Windup Watch Fair moves to a new venue in New York City, Center415, in the heart of New York City on Fifth Ave, between 37th and 38th streets. This is not only the biggest Windup Watch Fair ever, but it’s one of the biggest watch events in the world, with over 140 brands covering not just watches, but EDC, apparel, and more. In this episode, the team takes you through venue selection, how a show at this scale comes together, and all of the cool things you can do and see at Windup, including getting strap changes and bracelet adjustments from a watchmaker, seeing a number of panels throughout the weekend, checking out a bar and lounge space, and of course seeing dozens and dozens of watch brands.

A Week in Watches Ep. 91: Omega Drops the First Speedy in Space, Again
On episode 91 of A Week in Watches, Zach discusses some new releases from the last few weeks. First up is an awfully odd Nomos with a unique but unnecessary take on a date complication. Following is an overview of the newest Reversos from Jaeger-LeCoultre. A well-received launch from the historic house, it included four new styles, including a new case size. Lastly, Omega has launched the First Omega in Space for a second time, and we’re here for it.
This week’s episode is brought to you by Windup Watch Fair New York City. This year’s event has earned the title of the biggest watch fair in the world, with over 130 brands from 16 different countries. Windup NYC is happening Oct 18th – 20th at 415 Fifth avenue in the heart of Manhattan. It’s free and open to the public, as always, so we hope to see you there.

Ep 369: Oris Co-CEO Rolf Studer, Live from the Windup Watch Fair
This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by Rolf Studer, Co-CEO of Oris, for a conversation recorded live at the Windup Watch Fair in New York City over the weekend. Oris has been an important partner and supporter of the Windup Watch Fair for years, so it was rewarding to see them choose the opening of Windup as the launch platform for their latest release, the new Divers Date. The Divers Date is an evolution of the Divers Sixty-Five, which itself is one of the most important enthusiast focused watches of the last decade, helping to usher in the era of vintage inspired reinterpretations that have dominated the watch space. Now, with the Divers Date, Oris has made a series of small changes to modernize the look and feel of the watch, giving it some subtle refinements that will appeal to a whole new crop of enthusiasts. In this conversation, Rolf and Zach talk about the history of the Divers Sixty-Five, how Oris goes about planning for a launch like this, and the importance of the enthusiast community.
Before that, Zach is joined by Kyle Snarr, Worn & Wound’s Head of Partnerships, for a quick conversation about the just completed Windup Watch Fair, including some favorite moments and discoveries from a fair unlike any before it. For those who missed it, we’ll be showing you more photos and video footage from the fair soon, but until then we hope you enjoy this quick recap and a great conversation with Rolf Studer.
