The Worn & Wound Podcast Ep. 427: Non-Swiss Watches That Could Be Future Icons

This week on the Worn & Wound podcast, Liam O’Donnell is back and chatting with Zach Kazan about their favorite non-Swiss watches. They explore the idea of future non-Swiss icons, and what the importance of “Swiss Made” really is in the current watchmaking era. We’ve never been shy about highlighting great watches made around the world, and this conversation features a huge variety of future classics from some of our favorite brands.

Before that, however, there’s also an extended conversation about a pair of releases from a pair of powerhouse brands: Tudor and Omega. The new, smaller Tudor Ranger and a streamlined Planet Ocean continue to be a major topic of conversation in the watch community, and Zach and Liam weigh in with their thoughts here.
