Zenith relaunched the Defy collection at Baselworld 2017 with a futuristic high-beat chronograph the Defy El Primero 21, capable of measuring up to 1/100 th of a second.

Last weekend we saw Geneva play host to a handful of watch auctions, with the likes of Christie’s, Phillips, and Sotheby’s descending on the city and dropping some hammers.

Not to get too metaphysical with you on a Saturday morning, but does three watches count as a list?

The story in a second: A funky and practical Hublot packed with style and substance.

Editor’s Note: It’s easy (too easy, really) to pigeonhole a brand, often unfairly. For me, my first association with Breguet was all fluted cases, engine-turned dials and precious metal cases.

Steel sports watches, like … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: The other side of Breguet – the Type XXI 3817 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The first time that I was introduced to a Swatch Sistem51 was in a marketing email from Hodinkee announcing their collaboration with Swatch.

It’s … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 6 of the best new Zenith releases of 2018  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
