The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 354: Previewing Windup Watch Fair Chicago

The Worn & Wound Podcast

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, it’s time to preview the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago. Events Manager Nelly Calhoun takes over hosting duties this week, and is joined by Worn & Wound cofounders Zach Weiss and Blake Malin. Together they discuss the origins of the Windup Watch Fair, the growth of the microbrand and independent watch community, and they even tell some war stories from the earliest days of the show. Before that, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders are on mic to introduce this week’s episode, and share some of their own Windup memories.

Just a note, in the intro, Zach and Kat mistakenly introduce the main panel as including Kyle Snarr, Head of Partnerships, who was not able to join in on this episode.
