The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 327: Our Favorite Watches of 2023

This week, as the year draws to a close, the Worn & Wound team considers their favorite watch releases from the last twelve months. This is our Watch of the Year episode, where we find Zach Kazan, Zach Weiss, Kat Shoulders, and Ed Jelley picking the watches that stood out to them in a crowded year of new releases. Their picks run the gamut, from affordable micro-brand staples, to the impossibly high end haute horlogerie, and everything in between.

Let us know in the comments what releases stood out to you, and stay tuned to these pages as we’ll be bringing you our full year end wrap up featuring contributions from our contributing writers next week.
