VIDEO: The Bulgari CEO brought $750k of watches into our office and for a day we had two bodyguards

‘Like a boss’ is a phrase we’re attempting to permanently retire at Time+Tide. It’s done. But there’s no other way to describe the way the CEO of Bulgari visited our offices. He did it breezily – the leadup was one or two emails, a request to book a place for lunch – but completely like the boss of … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The Bulgari CEO brought $750k of watches into our office and for a day we had two bodyguards appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 17th February, 2017

Some weeks, the Wind Down is full of momentous news and calamitous happenings. Brands being sold, records broken – that sort of thing. This is not one of those weeks.

HANDS-ON: What a difference a dial makes – the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar

The cool and elegant Vacheron Constantin booth at SIHH was packed with highly complicated pieces (including the most complicated piece), and their top-line SIHH releases were a mass of brain-bending masterpieces, heavy on the sonneries, sidereal time and celestial maps. But amid all this mechanical splendour I found myself coming back to a simpler – … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: What a difference a dial makes – the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

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.

We grow up surrounded by myths and misconceptions but, believe it or not, bulls are not angered by red, bats are not blind and you can swallow chewing gum without it strangling your internal organs. Watchmaking has its own stories, one of the most enduring being that women do not buy high-end mechanical wristwatches for themselves. Who better to bust the myth than Richard Mille himself?

As far as origin stories go, the Reverso has one of the best.
