Ep 378: Our Favorite Watches of 2024

Worn & Wound Podcast Network
About this episode

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.
