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. 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. We often get asked how Worn & Wound got started, how we approach the watch industry, why we manufacture in America, etc., so we wanted take the opportunity to discuss all that–and the Podcast seemed like the best way to do it.

Longines put out 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, we discuss why they're great news for all the chronograph lovers out there.

Today on The Worn & Wound Podcast, we’re joined by ICON’s Jonathan Ward, a well-known name in the automative enthusiast community. But Jonathan’s a watch lover too, and he recently unveiled his first watch under the ICON umbrella—The Duesey, a 50-unit limited run inspired by a Duesenberg speedometer. We talk about his brand, his design process, pet peeves (*cough* date windows) and a whole lot much more.

Fortis is a brand that gets its fair share of coverage on Worn & Wound, and it's coverage that is well-deserved.
