Editor’s note: When I began the hunt for my first “good” watch I came up with a list of certain criteria: a black dial, 40 – 44 mm case size, and good looks. However, the main one was that it needed to be a chronograph. It was the added allure of a more complex inside paired … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: From $6k to $60k, 6 reasons to love a classic chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I have a not-so-secret love in my heart for Antiques Roadshow - specifically the UK version, but the US version is pretty good, too.

Few colours have the symbolic weight of black. It’s meaningful in pretty much every culture. It’s associated - naturally enough - with darkness, mourning and solemnity, and with endings and beginnings. It’s also a colour of power and authority. All these associations and emotions are tied up in Moser’s latest conceptual piece, the Endeavour Perpetual … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: There are certain words and terms that get thrown around a lot here in watchland. We should know, we’re more than guilty of it.

Few topics are as likely to induce eye-twitching spasms in horology’s true believers than the the old chestnut, “Is the Apple Watch a watch?” Well, with the announcement of the Apple Watch Series 4, it seems like Apple might be answering that question in a pretty declarative way.

If we’re completely honest, it’s hard to make quartz technology sexy. Which makes the achievement of Longines’ V.H.P. technology even more remarkable.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. There’s a lot of truth to that saying, especially if we’re talking about H.
