Ep. 98: Auctions and the Howard, Davis & Dennison #3 with Zach Kazan

On this week’s episode, Zach Weiss and I are joined by another Zach, Zach Kazan, our most recent contributor to Worn & Wound and who’s been killing it with some great content on the site. Some weeks back, Zach attended the Jones & Horan spring auction to witness the sale of a really important timepiece — the Howard, Davis & Dennison #3 pocket watch. He wrote an excellent article for us about the watch (which you can read here), its fascinating history, and the auction itself, and I thought it’d be great to have him on the podcast for a deeper dive into the story.

This week’s episode is brought to you by Bulova and their collection of Automatic Timepieces. For the Fall season, Bulova is introducing more than 15 new automatic timepieces. Some highlights include the new Regatta collection, which is based on a vintage Bulova style, and features two automatic pieces with a slim automatic movement, and nods to the original design with unique angled lugs. Another style coming this fall is the new Wilton featuring a 40-hour power reserve with power reserve indicator on the dial. The timepiece features a stainless steel case and dials in either silver white, deep blue, or grey, perfect for every day wear or an evening event. To learn more about Bulova and their new Automatic timepieces, head to bulova.com.
