There’s few things I like more in watchland than being surprised. Sadly, it doesn’t happen too often. But when it does, it’s always memorable. And being in Rado’s booth at Basel last year was one of those moments. I had seen the large Tradition 1965 on display and dismissed it without a thought. Who needs … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: New Traditions – taking a look at the Rado Tradition 1965 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Sports tie-in watches play a - if you’ll pardon the pun - dangerous game. On the one hand there’s a lot of gloss (and potential sales) to be earned from the association with an event that’s under the spotlight. The downside, though, is you might end up with a watch that looks more like a souvenir … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Game, set, match…point.

I immediately sized the new Strapcode Jubilee and I was blown away - this Jubilee bracelet screams quality. Even the spring bars are nice. The fitted end links, folding clasp, and links are all machined out of solid metal.

The new 39mm white gold Royal Oak uses the ultra thin case and movement with the 2 hands configuration. The watch is intriguing primarily due to the unique dial color. Using the 2121 automatic movement, the 15202BC ticks at 19,800 vph and offers a 40-hour power reserve. It measures 8 mm on the wrist and is priced at US$55,400.

This week Farer announced the release of their Ainsdale and Pendine Split-Second Flyback Quartz Chronograph watches. Now, "split-second" and "flyback" aren't usually terms you'll see here on TBWS but because these are quartz watches, the value proposition is actually quite compelling.
