BASEL BUILDUP: It’s happy families at Time+Tide most of the time. We have our likes, dislikes. But it’s horses for courses, and it’s cool. That said, if there’s any setting that causes a bit of healthy conflict, it’s the Baselworld experience. And by about day four it’s a pressure cooker. This is about when we … ContinuedThe post BASEL BUILDUP: 3 days to go. The watches of 2016 that nearly brought two Aussies to blows appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BASEL BUILDUP: To celebrate the sartorial whirlwind who sadly departs Time+Tide today on maternity leave, we couldn’t resist revisiting our Content Director Ceri David’s genius idea from Baselworld 2016, which was to basically ‘live pair’ all the new releases with creative wardrobe choices.

VIDEO: Ulysse Nardin 2017 collection overview and their impressive SIHH debut

Le Locle-based Ulysse Nardin made their debut showing at SIHH this year, and we have to say, they brought the heat.
