For the third year in a row, Jason and James recorded this live-to-tape episode in Chicago with the Worn & Wound Podcast. The episode was split into two pieces, with the first half running on the Worn & Wound Podcast feed (you can find that episode here) and the second half forming the main topic for this episode of TGN.
Jason and James had an absolute blast in Chicago for Wind Up and this episode covers their experience at the fair, a chat about a range of watch-related topics, and a great round of live audience Q&A. From Jason and James to Citizen, the team at Wind Up, the Worn & Wound Podcast, and to the whole crew that showed up – thanks for an amazing weekend in Chicago.
Stay in the mix for a Final Notes that will have you lifting caps and spinning ship’s wheels like there’s no tomorrow.

Re: the question on upcoming watch tech. For me it would be nano-coatings. Roger Smith has a partnership with Manchester Metropolitan University in the UK. If they can get it to work it would allow a near frictionless movement making scheduled servicing redundant. You would only have to get a service when something broke.
