Perhaps it’s just the football, but we’ve got Hublot on the brain at the moment.

The heart of Panerai’s line-up has to be the entry-level Luminor. A 44mm watch with the classic crown guard-equipped Luminor case and not much in the way of frills. White or black dial, white logo or blue, small seconds or not, and a range of strap options. That’s pretty much it. But you know what? … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The heart of Panerai – the new Luminor Marina Logo 3 Days in steel appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It was always going to be a tough ask, Australia taking on the powerhouse French team. And in the end the 2-1 score proved the point, but didn’t tell the whole tale.

It’s a paradox that a luxury house as conspicuously feminine as Chanel should always have had a gender-bending streak.

Late last year, one of the more surprising (and contentious) inclusions in my “best watches of 2017” list was the Apple Watch Series 3.
