INTRODUCING: Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic

In the last few years, skeletonised watches have undergone a renaissance. Once overly designed and overwrought, at some point this distinctive genre segued from niche to very nice indeed. And Jaquet Droz’s Skelet-One is a great example of this new breed. Clean and simple, rather than ornate, is the name of the game for this … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: 5 stunning Jaeger-LeCoultre watches from SIHH 2019

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.

HANDS-ON: Chanel’s Code Coco – a fashion watch that’s so much more than a fashion watch

As someone whose love of watches is focused entirely on mechanisms powered by springs, the word quartz normally evokes the immediate cry of “Next!” So when I stop and spend time with a quartz watch, it must be a bit special. And so to Code Coco. It had me at first glance: that crisp, chic … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Chanel’s Code Coco – a fashion watch that’s so much more than a fashion watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Nov 1, 2018

VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic 

Blancpain’s Bathyscaphe is one of those rare, chameleonic watch designs. A watch that, broadly speaking, owes great fidelity to its primogenitor, but a watch that doesn’t look dated. It’s a neutral watch - something that gives the Bathyscaphe broad appeal and great versatility. In steel, it’s a classic, traditional dive watch, but here, in black … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

EDITOR’S PICK: Tissot’s PRS 516 Automatic Small Second is the most fun you can have with three hands Time+Tide
Tissot s PRS 516 Automatic Oct 18, 2018

EDITOR’S PICK: Tissot’s PRS 516 Automatic Small Second is the most fun you can have with three hands

Editor’s note: Had someone mentioned word of a sporty, steel-cased watch with a ceramic bezel and a very clear automotive inspiration, my first thought would be that it’s a chronograph. But this is no chronograph; in fact, Tissot’s PRS 516 Automatic Small Second is something even more interesting. Introducing a novel and, quite frankly, ridiculously … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: Tissot’s PRS 516 Automatic Small Second is the most fun you can have with three hands appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: “I’m in a back street in Havana and a watchmaker says you should look at this…” – Adam and his Longines Cuervo Y Sobrinos

When someone’s watch story starts in the backstreets of Havana, you know it’s going to be good. In fact, it would be a good story, even if the watch itself didn’t match up to the tale. Luckily for all involved, Adam’s oversized mid-century Longines, double signed with famous retailer Cuervo y Sobrinos, stands up.

EDITOR’S PICK: Straight up funk – the Rado HyperChrome 1616

Editor’s note: Most of the time there’s a formula to the watches someone likes. Something along the lines of 39 – 42mm case plus steel plus chronograph divided by price equals something I want. But, then again, there are watches that come from left field and knock you out of the park. Rado’s unashamedly large and funky … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: Straight up funk – the Rado HyperChrome 1616 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Stay golden – the Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges 

One of Girard-Perregaux’s leitmotifs is the golden bridge. Typically deployed in a trio, the golden bridges - with their broad, arrow-headed shoulders and pleasing, perfectly aligned symmetry - have been holding the brand’s wheels and balances in place since 1860. The golden bridges first showed up in a wristwatch in 1981, and these days it serves as … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Stay golden – the Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: A lot of squares and a few surprises – 5 of the best Bell & Ross watches of 2018

It’s always fun seeing Bell & Ross at Baselworld. Aside from the quality, and strong, distinctive DNA of their core offerings, the design-oriented brand is exceptionally good at creating narratives and mythologies around their watches. Case in point is the new Racing Bird series, a colourful take on their vintage line, inspired by a concept … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: A lot of squares and a few surprises – 5 of the best Bell & Ross watches of 2018 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton - a Defy Lab-inspired entry level to the collection

It sort of feels like all we’ve been hearing about from Zenith through the last year leading up to Baselworld 2018 has been all things Defy. And fair enough, the Defy Lab is technically the biggest thing since the horological equivalent of sliced bread (the winding rotor perhaps?). As we got closer to the fair, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Zenith Defy Classic Skeleton - a Defy Lab-inspired entry level to the collection appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The big bad Hublot Big Bang MP-11 14-Days 3D Carbon

Given how much Hublot unveiled in Geneva back in January, the volume of additional novelties the brand had ready to go for Baselworld 2018 came as a bit of a surprise.

Omega is a real powerhouse brand, with a product catalogue that’s both broad and deep, and their Basel 2018 catalogue is no exception. This year they showed a fairly diverse mix of watches, from the elegant ladies Trésor, to a range of Olympic commemorative editions and a Speedy or two.
