SPOTTED! BY AG: Dispatch 1, October 2016 – An Introduction

Editor’s Note: It will surprise no-one to learn that Andy Green spends a significant amount of time each month in cafés, handling watches – of fairly staggering scope and value – and meeting people. That was pretty much our brief to him when we started working with Andy officially back in the early days of Time+Tide. Go forth. … ContinuedThe post SPOTTED!

EDITOR’S PICK: JLC’s Master Calendar Meteorite is out of this world

Editor’s Note: Meteorite dials are nothing new – but we rarely see this exotic dial material on otherwise conservative pieces. The juxtaposition creates a truly special watch with a one-of-a-kind dial that we’d never get tired of staring at.  One of the watches we were most looking forward to seeing in the metal at SIHH 2015 … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: JLC’s Master Calendar Meteorite is out of this world appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

WHY I WEAR: Breguet – Glenn and his Tradition GMT

Some watches always get the double tap when they show up in our Instagram feed. One such model is Glenn’s (AKA @syn_chronus) ridiculously lovely Breguet Tradition GMT. Not only because it’s a stunning watch in its own right, but also for the fact that we simply don’t see too many out there. So we got in … ContinuedThe post WHY I WEAR: Breguet – Glenn and his Tradition GMT appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Are our 9 Basel favourites still our favourites?

Anyone that’s been to Basel will know what we’re talking about when we reference the ‘Basel bubble’. It’s a cross between Steve Jobs’ reality distortion field (in which anything seems possible and reasonable) and a casino – where you are cut off from natural light and fresh air with access to a bottomless flutes of champagne. … ContinuedThe post LIST: Are our 9 Basel favourites still our favourites? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Jaeger-LeCoultre nails sports style with Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic

Based on the coverage of Jaeger-LeCoultre’s SIHH releases, it’d be fair to assume the brand put out nothing but dressy Reversos this year. Well, that’s not true. One of the more under-the-radar releases was a handsome update to the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic. Physically and functionally, the new version is unchanged from the 2014 original. It’s still … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Jaeger-LeCoultre nails sports style with Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
