A little while ago, I had a very good day at work.

HANDS-ON: The sustainable Submersible, Panerai’s Submersible Mike Horn Edition, PAM00984
There were a lot of very interesting watches released at SIHH. Oftentimes, this interest was centred around complication - and rightly so, it’s really the watch industry’s traditional bailiwick. But for me, one of the most interesting collections overall was Panerai. Panerai, while certainly accomplished at the higher end of the spectrum, tends not to … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The sustainable Submersible, Panerai’s Submersible Mike Horn Edition, PAM00984 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If you’re looking for a watch that’s a little left-of-centre style-wise, look no further.

And the resulting watch is, it must be said, quite charming. Of course, there are still … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Rado’s off-centre DiaMaster proves that life isn’t always balanced appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It was natural, then, that when I entered the world of haute horology a decade … ContinuedThe post The three things that convinced me to take Bulgari seriously as a watchmaker appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The talk of the Jaeger-LeCoultre booth at SIHH was the incredible (and incredibly well-sized) Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpétuel, but that rare bird was in hot demand, so we didn’t manage any quality one-on-one time with it.
