On today’s episode of The Worn & Wound Podcast, Zach and Ilya talk to Jason Lim of Halios watches. Halios is one of the older micro-brands we’ve covered here on Worn & Wound, and it’s also one of the most beloved. In large part, that’s due to Jason’s keen design sensibilities—Halios has yet to produce a dud. In fact, each release builds on the one that came before it, showing an increased level of refinement with every new watch. Today, we talk to Jason about his brand, how he got started, and what the future holds in store. In the latter half of the episode, Jason answers some of the questions you submitted on Instagram.

Swiss watchmaking is largely the domain of large conglomerates. Independents, while not necessarily scarce, are certainly the minority, and those that do exist largely play in the arena of haute horlogerie. Founded 40 years ago, Raymond Weil is a relative newcomer to the world of Swiss horology, but in that time it’s maintained its independence by staying a family-owned company. Today, we’re speaking to Elie Bernheim, who became the third-generation CEO of Raymond Weil in 2014, taking over from his father, Olivier Bernheim. We discuss the brand’s history, the RW1212 caliber and the brand's partnership with Sellita, and why it’s absolutely critical to know your customer.

This week, the Worn & Wound team got together to talk about something we don't often cover: ourselves.

Just like the title says, it was a good week (give or take a day or two) for chronographs. Longines put out a killer, vintage-inspired chronograph with a column wheel in the form of the Avigation BigEye. Then, Sinn blew our collective minds with its announcement of the EZM 1.1, a reissue of sorts of the brand's legendary central minutes chronograph, the EZM 1. And finally, Damasko had a (soft) release of its own central minutes chronograph—something that brand has been working on for years now—in the form of the robust and tactical DC 80. Today, our contributor from across the pond, Brad Homes, joins Zach and Ilya on the show to discuss these three great watches, and why they're great news for all the chronograph lovers out there. We also talk to Brad about how he got into watches, his collecting habits, and some of his regrets.
