GONE IN 60 SECONDS: Smoke and mirrors - the Hublot Big Bang All Black Sapphire

[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/159551168″] Ten years ago Hublot pioneered the black-on-black-on-black look in watches. Sure, it made it hard to read the time, but when your watch looked that cool who could care? They called it (appropriately enough) ‘All Black’ and this year they’ve released a number of special limited editions to celebrate. The standout is this … ContinuedThe post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: Smoke and mirrors – the Hublot Big Bang All Black Sapphire appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Today’s wind down is a little bittersweet. Sweet because it’s an absolutely gorgeous day here in Melbourne, bitter because we have more than a light case of FOMO. Right now, despite the weather, we’d much rather be hanging out in rainy London with all the cool kids at Salon QP. But there’s no point getting all gloomy … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 4th November, 2016 – the British edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

OPINION: We need more watches like the Seiko Presage

Cutting through the noise and sheer volume of watches released at Baselworld is no mean feat.

In the article, we confirmed the unsurprising SV stereotypes with the array of Apple watches and Fitbits. Just go up to the city and you will see the sad state of Union Square watch boutiques. Look down in the peninsula and you won't even see a sensible retailer. Or so I thought.
