While the Phoibos range comprises a number of interesting watches with varying degrees of originality (but all with excellent design and build-quality), it's the Phoibos Wave Master that best embodies the brand’s inspiration.

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. But that’s OK really, as there were numerous other exquisitely finished offerings on hand, from the Reverso … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 5 stunning Jaeger-LeCoultre watches from SIHH 2019 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

One of the most interesting - and important - new watch releases I saw while in Geneva recently wasn’t shown at SIHH at all. Rather, it was presented by TAG Heuer. On the surface the watch is typically TAG Heuer, in look and indeed nomenclature - it’s called the Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: New balance – the TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre Heuer 02T Tourbillon Nanograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

So what could make such a devoted Apple Watch user be so drawn to the Dan Henry 1964 Gran Turismo Chronograph? I had to find out. He was kind enough to let me spend some time with that watch for this review and needless to say it was an eye-opening experience.

My last list - a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings - could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land. But this trifecta, covering the much broader $10,000 – $35,000 price bracket, is much less easily pigeon-holed. But if I had to find commonalities I could well go with elegant … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Felix’s top 3 watches from SIHH 2019 – between $10k and $35k appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Back in the 18th century, Pierre Jaquet-Droz wowed the courts of Europe with his Automates – three humanoid dolls, about one-third life-sized, that could variously write, draw and play music with uncannily lifelike gestures. Intended to promote his clocks and watches, and powered by scaled-up versions of mechanical watch movements, they were a stroke of … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Flower and the Lady 8 Petite appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Feelings. We all have them. They make us human. They make us who we are. But sometimes they can get the better of us. Like, remember when Tudor released the Black Bay chronograph?

I found the Pancor Watches P02 and I fell in love with it. This watch called to me for a three reasons: (1) It had a hi-beat movement. All of the watches I had experienced up to this point were 21.6k beats per hour, and I yearned for a smoother sweep; (2) it was black PVD and I thought that was awesome; (3) And the power reserve reminded me of that elusive Tudor North Flag.

At first glance, you could be forgiven for thinking that this is a 47mm Submersible much like any other. On second, or perhaps third glance, the truth becomes more apparent.

With a brand so rich in history, the origins of what can only be called typical Breguet design cues date a fair ways back into the archives.

Nothing hints at the story of a watch more than its imperfections. A thick scratch across the crystal. Could that have been a motorbike accident? A near miss with a switchblade?

A Swiss watch is a near-universally recognised symbol for quality, precision and tradition. And while that’s all well and good, there’s another thing that fine Swiss watches tend to be synonymous with - and that’s high sticker prices.
