HANDS-ON: Fancy a date? How about the Nomos Tangente neomatik 41 Update

Surely there is no more contentious complication in the world of watchmaking than a seemingly humble date display? It’s hard to believe that something so useful, and seemingly ubiquitous, can be so divisive. One way to end the date/no date feud is to include it, but with a twist. And a twist is certainly what … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Fancy a date? How about the Nomos Tangente neomatik 41 Update appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

NEWS: Battle of the brands – Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper in A Star Is Born

When ‘Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper – Shallow (A Star Is Born)‘ came up on my Discover Weekly Spotify playlist, it caught my attention for three reasons. Firstly, I had no idea that Bradley Cooper could also sing (of course he can). Secondly, it’s delightful.

MY MONTH WITH: The Tudor Black Bay GMT

When the Tudor Black Bay GMT debuted this year at Basel it would’ve been easy to describe it as being overshadowed by the much-hyped Rolex GMT that was also showcased. But it’s not that simple.

EDITOR’S PICK: This Laureato is the reason why you should always bet on black

Editor’s note: What is it about an all-black watch that really gets the heart racing? I mean, it’s a neutral colour, like white, silver, or grey, yet just by adding a heavy dose of toner, an entire watch can be transformed. Case (and dial, and strap) in point, the black ceramic Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm. A luxury … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: This Laureato is the reason why you should always bet on black appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watches. Turns out they’re not (just) for telling the time. As horology’s true believers (that is, you lot) will no doubt be aware, watches are more than mere objects. They’re a hobby, a community, and – depending on how far gone you are – a way of life.

Like for so many other people, Robin Williams was, and still is, a hero of mine.

Call me a romantic, but the moon phase complication is amongst my favourites.
