The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep 359: A Report from the Mubadala City DC Open with Rado, and First Impressions of the New Seiko Samurai

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan is joined by one of Worn & Wound’s newest team members, Devin Pennypacker. Devin is Worn & Wound’s Digital Media Specialist, a watch industry veteran, and someone you’ll be hearing from and seeing a lot more of in the near future, so we’re incredibly happy to have him on the podcast to introduce him to our listeners. Devin has been interested in watches for years, and in this conversation he discusses his path through the hobby and how he wound up at Worn & Wound while telling us about the watches he’s interested in, what he looks for as a collector, and more. Devin and Zach also chat about his recent experience at the Mubadala City DC Open with Rado, and what makes their ceramic watches so appealing. Devin also gives us a preview of an upcoming feature on the Seiko Samurai, a longtime personal favorite of his, and a diver that sometimes goes under the radar when compared to the brand’s more well known divers, and chats about his recent “Windup in a Lake” experience at the Windup Watch Fair in Chicago.

A reminder: Worn & Wound is heading to the West Coast! We’re celebrating the opening of the James Brand’s new headquarters with a special summer pop-up. It’s free and open to the public. Be sure to check out all the details here.
