HANDS-ON: A little bit of bronze goes a long way – the Montblanc 1858 Automatic

This year sees Montblanc introduce bronze into its watch collections for the very first time – and we have to say they’ve done it in an unusual and (as is typical for the brand) very smart way. With the exception of the high-end Villeret piece, Montblanc has avoided releasing full bronze-cased watches, instead employing the distinctive … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A little bit of bronze goes a long way – the Montblanc 1858 Automatic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC

For years IWC has staked its claim as being one of the biggest, baddest and most masculine of the major Swiss brands. Recently though, we’ve sensed a change in the wind. In 2014 they released the delicate Portofino, and last year their more petite pilot had women firmly in its sights. That’s set to continue for … ContinuedThe post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: The Da Vinci Automatic shows the gentler side of IWC appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

This year it appears that the Submersible collection is a major focus for Panerai, with the brand releasing a veritable pack of new models in all manner of materials and sizes.

GONE IN 60 SECONDS: Montblanc channels the spirit of racing with the Timewalker Chronograph Automatic

Walking into Montblanc’s revamped SIHH booth, it didn’t take long to work out what the overarching theme of 2017 would be. If the deconstructed racing chronograph suspended from the ceiling wasn’t enough of a clue, the booth staff in stark white racing firesuits certainly gave the game away. Montblanc’s off to the races, and in … ContinuedThe post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: Montblanc channels the spirit of racing with the Timewalker Chronograph Automatic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We’ve spent a fair amount of digital ink this week talking about Baume & Mercier’s Clifton collection, and how it’s such a neat link to the Geneva-based brand’s heritage. So we thought it was only appropriate to explore this history, and how they’ve honoured it, in a little more detail.

HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon

As far as origin stories go, the Reverso has one of the best. Back in the 1930s, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s most famous model was conceived to withstand the rigours of polo, thanks to its ingenious flip-over case design. When the mallets started swinging and balls went flying, the watch could safely bury its face until the action … ContinuedThe post HANDS ON: the elegant double act of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso One Duetto Moon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
