Maurice Lacroix Aikon Automatic Review: A Watchfam Divided
It's impossible to deny that the watch is very clearly inspired by the design of the AP Royal Oak, which either captures people's imagination or causes them to hiss and spit at the "affordable homage." But is that a justified response?

HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943
It would be easy to dismiss the Luminor Due - Panerai’s latest fully fledged line - as a collection oriented towards women. After all, it’s the collection that houses 38 and 42mm watches. But the fact that I am on record as being more than a little partial to the 42mm model aside, there are … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: 5 of the greatest watch moments on Antiques Roadshow
I have a not-so-secret love in my heart for Antiques Roadshow - specifically the UK version, but the US version is pretty good, too. If you’re not familiar with the concept, it’s a show where random members of the public show up and have their junk/priceless artefacts evaluated by a range of hilariously eccentric antiques experts. … ContinuedThe post LIST: 5 of the greatest watch moments on Antiques Roadshow appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

MY MONTH WITH: The Tudor Black Bay GMT
When the Tudor Black Bay GMT debuted this year at Basel it would’ve been easy to describe it as being overshadowed by the much-hyped Rolex GMT that was also showcased. But it’s not that simple. The Tudor is a hit in its own right, and I knew I had to have one. I had to … ContinuedThe post MY MONTH WITH: The Tudor Black Bay GMT appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: 5 solid vintage watches you can buy in Australia right now
I don’t think we’d be telling anyone anything new by saying vintage is sooo hot right now.

EDITOR’S PICK: 5 sports luxury watches that deliver on both fronts
Editor’s note: The watch industry is, in general, pretty big on segmentation. According to them, we should be wearing something different for every different activity in our lives. But that way madness lies. I’m a fan of watches that fit a range of purposes, and ranges don’t come much wider than sports AND luxury. So, … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: 5 sports luxury watches that deliver on both fronts appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watches. Turns out they’re not (just) for telling the time. As horology’s true believers (that is, you lot) will no doubt be aware, watches are more than mere objects.

HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition
Tantalum, what’s that, I hear you say. Well, allow me to explain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant bluish-grey metal with an extreme hardness and high boiling point. Which are the exact qualities you want in a dive watch, but also qualities that make Tantalum incredibly difficult to work with – and the reason why the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Tantalising Tantalum – the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M Limited Edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: 5 utterly useless complications and why we love them
The most straightforward definition of the word complication is “a difficulty”. But not to state the obvious, nothing is simple about being complicated.

Laurent Ferrier Galet Traveller Asia
In 2015, Laurent Ferrier launched the first version of a Galet Traveller with an enamel center dial featuring a world map. This initial view was Europe centric but in Laurent's mind, it was a first step to some other views of our planet to reflect its beauty and infinity. For this second version, Laurent Ferrier decided to focus on Asia and particularly on Singapore.

Since its introduction in 2014, Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang collection has quietly been gaining momentum. The tonneau-shaped case sacrifices none of the immediate impact that Hublot is famous for, but shapes it into a more wrist-hugging form.
