Ep 378: Our Favorite Watches of 2024

12/25/24 • 65 min

It’s the final episode of the Worn & Wound podcast for 2024, so of course the team is talking about their favorite watches of the year. Zach Kazan, Kat Shoulders, Zach Weiss, and Devin Pennypacker are all on the mic to look at the best watches they’ve seen from the last year, and reflect on 2024 as a watch year in general. The conventional wisdom is that this was a slow year of incremental updates from the big brands, but the team found plenty to like from indies, micros, and big brands alike, including big comeback years from Jaeger-LeCoultre and Omega.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the year that was in watches. What were some of your favorite releases of the year, and what brands over and underperformed in 2024? Let us know in the comments, and let us know what you’re looking forward to in 2025.

Time on Screen: World War Z

In this new episode of Time on Screen, brought to you by Terra Ciele Mare, Zach Kazan welcomes Kyle Snarr to chat about World War Z, the Marc Forster directed 2013 star vehicle for Brad Pitt that has become a cable staple in the years since it landed in theaters. While there’s a rich tradition of zombie films going back decades, World War Z offers something genuinely different, and feels more grounded in reality than many zombie movie classics, particularly following the pandemic. Zach and Kyle dig into why this movie endures, with a particular focus paid to Pitt’s star power and several incredibly well executed action set pieces.

They also look at the watch worn by Pitt in the film, a Terra Cielo Mare Orienteering PVD, and its contemporary successor, the Orienteering Quota 8611, inspired by the first Italian expedition to K2. Powered by a Swiss automatic Sellita SW200, the matte black Orienteering Quota 8611 measures 44mm in diameter and features an internal compass bezel. You can find more information on the Orienteering Quota 8611 and a bunch of other great products that will have you ready for the zombie apocalypse in our zombie themed gift guide here.
