MY WEEK WITH: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300 “Rio 2016” Limited Edition

Look for a minute at your wedding ring. Do you like it? It’s hard to answer, right? And your answer, if you have one, is almost certainly less about whether you like the design or the material and a whole lot more about what it represents. It’s about the memories it holds. The person it … ContinuedThe post MY WEEK WITH: The Omega Seamaster Diver 300 “Rio 2016” Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Review: Blancpain Villeret Quantième Annuel GMT steel

Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.

After Hours: Part 2 – The Art of Erotica

After Hours: Part 2 – The Art of Erotica

Original Sin An erotic watch is, in several ways, the 18th-century equivalent of pornography in your smartphone. (Or, in a more primitive age, those cute nude ballpoints where a model’s black lace basque falls off when you invert the pen, a reliable way of livening up the dullest of meetings.) One, it is advanced technology […]

Into The Deep With The Carl F. Bucherer ScubaTec

The story of Carl F. Bucherer began in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888, a time of unparalleled cultural and artistic expression in Europe - what we now call the Belle Époque. That year, Carl Friedrich Bucherer, an entrepreneur with a passion for horology, and his wife Luise opened their first shop on the Falkenplatz in Lucerne’s […]

Bad Luck Begone! - The Richard Mille RM 26-02 Tourbillon Evil Eye

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

Market analysis: The maturing Chinese consumer

Market analysis: The maturing Chinese consumer

The Chinese Consumer is changing. Gone are the days when shoppers flocked to gaudy and bling items with visible branding all over them. One can imagine that the Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. They are now looking for less 'in-the-face' items but more subtle forms of materialism.

Exclusive New Complication Revealed For Vacheron Constantin Grand Oeuvre

There are about one and a half billion ethnic Chinese on this planet. I didn’t take a census or anything, I just Googled it. Out of these one and a half billion Chinese people, I’d say that less than a few hundred of them really understand how the Chinese calendar works. Once again, this is […]

de Grisogono Instrumento Carbon Chrono; Black Beauty

Is it strange to refer to a men’s watch, one crafted in masculine carbon none the less, as a beauty? Not when it comes to a de Grisogono. Fawaz Gruosi, founder and CEO of the brand, has its own approach towards designing watches, and beauty always seem to be the main ingredient. Followed right by […]

Genuine World Traveler: Frederique Constant Worldtimer Manufacture

Located on the outskirts of Geneva is Plan-les-Ouates, and in a municipality that can rank an impressive amount of watchmakers amongst its inhabitants is Frederique Constant. The fact that the brand can count old and respectable names such as Piaget and Vacheron Constantin as its neighbors not only says something about it’s location, but also […]

Parmigiani & Pershing: Avant-Garde In Old School Craftsmanship

Even in the busiest, most prestigious marinas in the world, it is not that difficult to spot a Pershing yacht. Sleek, futuristic lines seem to stand a world away from traditional yachts, yet nothing is less true. Only a deep understanding of the craftsmanship needed to create the most superb traditional yacht, can result in […]

SIHH Diary – Day Two

SIHH Diary – Day Two

Today was a great day for the ladies at the SIHH. It started at Parmigiani with a beautiful Tonda skeleton with an opaque dial. It seemed a little counter-productive to spend all that time polishing and angling to then hide the movement, but strangely enough the lace-like silhouette of the skeleton movement below the dial […]

Bottom Time: Tudor Pelagos

Motoring slowly along the line of buoys, five of us leaned over the starboard gunwale, scanning the clear water through polarized lenses. It had been a quiet day with no sharks in sight - unless you count the lazy nurse sharks begging for bait scraps in the marina. We’d spent languid hours between line checks […]

Panerai Luminor Base 8 Days: Master Of The Essentials

Panerai has something that no other brand has this much of. It is one of the rarest commodities in watchmaking, and many watchmakers lose sleep over the lack of it. That commodity is space. You’d expect a Panerai to be big and bulky since it is an essential part of the DNA of the brand. […]

Bottom Time: Ice Diving With The Bremont Supermarine 2000

Twenty minutes into the dive, I lose all feeling in my fingers. It’s a slow process - first tingling, then mild discomfort, then burning, and finally, with a strange sense of relief, my hands become like dead weights on the ends of my arms. My left hand curls like a frozen claw around the safety […]

Finished Like A Fine Watch – The New Leica T System (Video)

The narrater of this 45 minute long advertisement for the new mirror-less camera called the Leica T System begins by asking the following:” Is this the most boring film ever made?”. As a marketing move, it is certainly brilliant, showing off every single second of the 45 minute process that it takes for the aluminium […]

BaselWorld Diary – Day Zero

Today over 100,000 people from over 100 countries are crossing oceans and continents on their way to BaselWorld for the largest watch fair in the world. As Revolution’s Swiss editor my journey is only a feeble 229 km, but it doesn’t make it any the less exciting as I prepare for one of the most […]

Visiting Cartier Geneva

Earlier this month I had a chance to visit the in November re-opened Geneva Boutique at 35 Rue du Rhône. I remember the Boutique from last year, when it was just one of the European Boutiques, nothing more, nothing less. The change is incredible, in the period that the building was behind a facade for […]

The Ridiculously Beautiful Omega Ladymatic “Diamonds And Pearls”

To say we saw a lot of watches at BaselWorld 2013 is to say nothing at all, but there are always a few that really stick with us. And with more or less a straight fifty-fifty split between boys and girls at the office, we’re not apt to ignore ladies’ watches either. A couple of […]

Jacquet Droz mini sculpture

Today I feature a lesser known and less expensive variant of the famous Jacquet- Droz Bird Repeater…sans repeater and automata, but still with the beautiful 3 dimensional sclupture. The watch is a jewellery piece, with diamonds on the bezel…but the true artistic beauty must be the mini-scupture of a bird feeding her chicks on theRead More

Carole Forestier-Kasapi, director of fine watchmaking at Cartier has been an industry trailblazer since her tenure at Ulysse Nardin. Having overseen the high profile ID concept watch project, Forestier-Kasapi has addressed some of haute horology’s nagging issues namely- lubrication and energy loss in geared movements.

Horology 301: An incomplete introduction to the Minute Repeater

Horology 301: An incomplete introduction to the Minute Repeater

The minute repeater is both the most sophisticated of complications and the most atavistic - sophisticated, in that it requires enormous care and skill to make one that works at all, much less one that works well and sounds good; atavistic, in that it brings us back to the very earliest attempts to make mechanical […]

The pinnacle of evolution: Cartier ID Two

Let’s imagine that Charles Darwin was set loose upon the Huguenot-peopled valleys and mountains of La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle, Le Sentier, Le Brassus, Fleurier and all the parts of Switzerland where silent, stoic men and women sublimate their inner passion into those angelic, refined machines that tell the time. It’s likely that he would arrive at […]

Ghost in the machine: Richard Mille RM 056

With all that he’s achieved on the movement front: the world’s lightest mechanical watch movements (tourbillons, no less, created with I-beam aluminum-lithium bridges), the first carbon-nanofiber and titanium baseplates, the first movement designed after the steel trellis frame of a Ducati motorcycle, the first movement with an orthorhombic-titanium-aluminide baseplate, inspired by the honeycomb inner structure […]
