HANDS-ON: The Cvstos Challenge GT Chronograph
Over the last few years there’s been a lot of noise about how the watch industry has returned to smaller sized watches, abandoning the larger diameters that dominated wrists in the last decade. And while it’s true that we are seeing more new watches in the 36-40mm range, that doesn’t mean that the ‘go large … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Cvstos Challenge GT Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: The evolution of the wrist – 3 professionals who rely on wrist machines that tell the time and more
There are some sweeping generalisations in the watch world when it comes to the watches preferred by professionals in different fields – Breitling for airline pilots, Hublot for NBA players, Nomos for architects… but reality doesn’t quite conform to prevailing watch-lover logic. The fact is those that leap from high altitudes don’t choose a Zenith as … ContinuedThe post LIST: The evolution of the wrist – 3 professionals who rely on wrist machines that tell the time and more appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTERVIEW: Why people love working for Bremont (and how their watches won the London Boutique Manager over)
Editor’s Note: We’ve done over 1400 posts at Time+Tide, but I reckon I could count on one hand the number of stories that have featured employees whose title doesn’t start with Chief, Head, President or Vice. After speaking to Paul Gray, Boutique Manager of Bremont’s flagship store in Royal Exchange London, for a lazy afternoon at our HQ, I … ContinuedThe post INTERVIEW: Why people love working for Bremont (and how their watches won the London Boutique Manager over) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Got the car? Get the watch – 3 Hublots for 3 Ferraris
In our experience, if you’re into intricately constructed, high-performance machines, it doesn’t really matter if they’re intended for the road or your wrist. But, as our favourite young Old El Paso advocate asks, “Why don’t we have both?” So with that in mind, we’ve found three Hublots that are the perfect pairing for three of … ContinuedThe post LIST: Got the car?

VIDEO: Why I love my watch – with Andre Agassi
Andre Agassi’s response to the question, “Are you into watches?” didn’t exactly go to script. “Not at all. I have no interest in them,” he said. It’s not the first time we’ve spoken at length to someone who doesn’t identify as a ‘watch person’ per se. Mark Bouris is one, Mark Richards another. But this … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Why I love my watch – with Andre Agassi appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Top 5 Basel Watches: Revolution Editor-at-Large, Ken Kessler
All the clever, novel watches with fresh complications – from the likes of Manufacture Royale, Jaquet Droz and Chanel – will enjoy deep coverage from the rest of our team, so I gave myself a different task: pick the five that I’d purchase with my own cash. It doesn’t get more honest than that.

BASEL BUILDUP: Seiko’s impact at Baselworld last year was measurable on the Richter scale. If it wasn’t the aftershocks of the Seiko Presage Chronograph 60th Anniversary Limited Edition it was watches like the Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGD001. Hard model name to remember.

Recently, Ben Gunsberger – friend of T+T, visual effects artist, photographer and co-founder of Babyology.com.au – posted this image on his Facebook feed without a caption.

HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal?
Let’s get this out of the way early on. Does the Girard-Perregaux Laureato share some visual similarities with other well-known luxury steel sports watches? Sure, but we can easily think of half a dozen watches that fit that particular bill. AP and Patek don’t have a monopoly on ’70s design. And make no mistake, the Laureato … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

For many consumers and manufacturers, now is not the time for extravagant, outlandish watches.

HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium
It might be stating the obvious, but this Aquaracer doesn’t have a tourbillon or a modular case construction. Nor is it a smart watch, or a reissue of a ’70s watchmaking icon. This is a plain old ‘new watch’ from a well known family. No bells, no whistles, just an absolute winner of a watch.

I cannot shut up about this watch. Is that bad?

Bremont – Guilty of What?
In a recent article I produced for Revolution about manufacture status, I concluded with the following: “manufacture status is no guaranteed measure of quality nor prestige, while non-manufacture status doesn’t diminish the worth of a top-quality timepiece.” It’s the watch as a whole, not just the pedigree. I also pointed out was the FACT that […]

Zenith Star: New Additions To This Celestial Collection
Zenith is actually a strange name for the watch brand, since the word refers to the highest points in the heavens by a celestial body.
