FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 16th December, 2016 – the milestone edition

The first post on Time+Tide went live on the 20th of March, 2014, and in the subsequent 33 months we’ve had a blast publishing news, reviews and all the latest and greatest from the world of watches. We’re excited to announce that this edition of the Wind Down marks a significant milestone – it’s our 1000th post! … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 16th December, 2016 – the milestone edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 15 – The Piaget Polo S

The promo video for the Piaget Polo S may not feature Santa prancing around on rooftops trying to fit his ample girth into chimney tops, but it does feature Ryan Reynolds up there, and boy, is he busy. The idea: there’s a rampant polo ball whizzing through the skies and only he can catch it (which, not to give … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 15 – The Piaget Polo S appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 14 – The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph

What’s that, Rudolph? You’re worried about Santa being on time this Christmas? Understandable. Maybe get him one of these, then. This Planet Ocean Chrono is large and in charge – with massive wrist presence that will be a huge help for keeping an eye on his forthcoming deadlines. Plus, while steel versions of this watch require some heavy lifting, … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 14 – The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 12 – The Bulgari Octo Ultra Nero

Much like Elf, the unofficial best Christmas movie of all time, the Octo has a cult following – though to be honest, that’s where the similarities begin and end. Still, we reckon this status is only going to grow stronger with the release of the blacked-out Ultra Nero. This striking piece commands attention from the wrist, with … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 12 – The Bulgari Octo Ultra Nero appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 11 – The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum

The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum is a classic worldtime complication, with an outer dial dominated by an inner ring of key global cities and an outer ring displaying 24-hour time. While it looks complicated it’s surprisingly intuitive, and all the more bold in the 4810 case, as opposed to the svelte Heritage Spirit model that we … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 11 – The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 10 – The Cartier Drive de Cartier

On the 10th day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… the new Cartier model that caught a lot of people’s attention this year in watches. The Drive manages to be both masculine and refined, deviating from the Cartier single shape theory that usually has you choose between square (Santos), round (Ballon Bleu) and … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 10 – The Cartier Drive de Cartier appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 9th December, 2016

In the flurry of pre-holiday/SIHH business, we managed to find time for a lightning trip to Sydney, to catch up with HYT CEO Gregory Dourde and see these incredible watches in the metal. And when we say lightning we mean it literally. As far as impressive events go, spending an evening on the 30m yacht … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 9th December, 2016 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 9 – The Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Chronograph Desert Type

You don’t often see pics of Santa in the desert. But if you did, and if he’d put an appropriate amount of thought into his watch choice, you’d see either an IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII Top Gun Miramar or this Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Chronograph Desert Type on his wrist. Both have that … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 9 – The Bell & Ross BR 03-94 Chronograph Desert Type appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 7 – The TAG Heuer Monza ref. CR2080

Deck the halls with badass blackness, fa la la la la, la la, la la. There are slow burn watches – the new Air-King, the Globemaster Annual Cal – and then there are immediate, towering infernos. The new Monza is the latter. It’s the least daggy retro piece of the year, and maybe ever. We … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 7 – The TAG Heuer Monza ref.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 6 – The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII

Next up in our festive lineup is one of this year’s crowd favourites – the IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII. This modestly-sized, understated watch goes to show that when you’ve got good design and an enviable pedigree, you don’t need bell and whistles (though that Santoni strap certainly adds to the lustre of the piece). Who … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 6 – The IWC Pilot’s Watch Mark XVIII appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 5 – The Tudor Pelagos LHD

When Tudor took their technical diver, the mighty Pelagos, and transformed it into the Pelagos LHD, they created a late – and very worthy – entrant into all the ‘Top Watches of 2016’ lists. It was a nice little left hook that hit more than just the southpaw audience. Because, in addition to flipping it so that … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 5 – The Tudor Pelagos LHD appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 4 – The Montblanc 1858 Manual Small Second

Today we peel back the hypothetical door on our digital advent calendar (though we’re giving away some real stuff too FYI) to reveal the deep blue dial of the Montblanc 1858 Small Second. We’re big fans of the 1858 in general, as it hits just the right balance between everyday wearability and heritage style. The smart … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 4 – The Montblanc 1858 Manual Small Second appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 2nd December, 2016 – the rumours edition

No, we’re not dedicating this Wind Down to Stevie Nicks and her choice of timepieces (though that would be amazing). No, this week we’re talking conspiracy theories and scuttlebutt. So break out the tin foil hat and the tinnies, it’s time for the most scurrilous Wind Down yet. But before we begin, we can confirm … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 2nd December, 2016 – the rumours edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 2 – The Longines Military COSD

Next up in our Christmas Advent(ure) Calendar is the rough and ready (but still polished to a mirror shine) Longines Military COSD, with a military-inspired dial and summer-appropriate NATO strap. The best thing about it though? It’s not so hardcore as to look out of place with a suit. If you really love this one, check … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 2 – The Longines Military COSD appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 1 – the Tissot Heritage 1936

Deck the halls and dangle that tinsel, for the festive season is upon us once more. Join us in counting down the days until Christmas, with Time+Tide’s very own advent calendar.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 25th November 2016 – the metal AF edition

Editor’s note: Sometimes things take on a life of their own. Like, for example, when you ask Instagram if anyone can think of some watch-themed heavy metal band names? The wave of mutilations suggestions that followed hit us like a Vulgar Display of Power. It gave the week a serious metal twist and since then we’ve … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 25th November 2016 – the metal AF edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

NEWS: Jimmy Smits’ favourite watch brand is Nomos Glashütte, according to Brooklyn Nine-Nine

We’re big fans of German brand Nomos Glashütte here at Time+Tide, and we know there’s a lot of love for them out there in the wider watch world, too.

Five American presidents have owned the Corum Dollar watch and, at an event at the Flying Fish restaurant on Sydney’s Jones Bay Wharf on Wednesday evening, Corum COO Davide Traxler announced that President-elect Trump will be the sixth. He told the intimate crowd that a close mutual friend had arranged an association.

Well, the unavoidable news this week is that Donald Trump is the President-elect of the United States – a surprise victory won on the back of a promise to ‘Make America Great Again’.

Editor’s note: From where we stand, the Wind-Up Watch Fair 2016, run by the boys from worn&wound; seemed to kick a lot of ass.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 23rd September, 2016 – the high life edition

This week we’ve been busy swanning around, sipping fine (glow-in-the-dark) Champagnes and chatting to the beautiful people while driving exotic cars. Of course in between all these tastes of la dolce vita we’ve been perusing some truly exceptional watches. What does this mean for the Wind Down?

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 16th September, 2016

Bit of a sombre one this week all told. Not only did it mark the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, but the news from Richemont’s AGM does not bode well for the watch industry on the whole. But that’s how it goes sometimes – not every wind down can be beer and skittles. … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 16th September, 2016 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
