In this episode I speak with Zach Kazan, Managing Editor at Worn & Wound, a place to discover watches and experience enthusiasm. We hear his fascinating views on the industry, watches he loves and future plans for the business. Zach is a native of New Hampshire, USA and he has been interested in watches since the age of 13, when he walked into Macy’s and bought a gaudy, quartz, two-tone Citizen chronograph with his hard earned Bar Mitzvah money. It was lost in a move years ago, but he continues to hunt for a similar piece on eBay. Zach loves a wide variety of watches, but leans toward classic designs and proportions that have stood the test of time. He is currently obsessed with Grand Seiko.

In this episode I speak with George Bamford, Founder of Bamford London to hear his expert views on collecting. George describes himself as a ‘Magpie’ collector of vintage watches. Collecting watches can become an obsession. The interest in collecting has coincided with a huge gain in popularity of the pre-owned/vintage watch sector. George has a passion for watches connected with racing and is drawn to the different coloured watch dials from the 60s and 70s and believes this to be the ‘sweet spot’ for vintage watch collecting. It was a hugely enjoyable and lively discussion in front of a ‘sell out’ audience of esteemed collectors.
