Two Broke Watch Snobs
Mike and Kaz get ready for Wind Up NYC 2017 by talking about the brands they're most excited to see. Also, don't kill gators - Kaz's wisdom has spoken. Mike is also taking steps in the right direction to combat his photo of black watches - he decides to pull an old surprise favorite from the watch box. Also, what's your opinion, #watchfam - 60-click bezels or 120-click?

Special guests Terry from ToxicNATOs joins the Two Broke Watch Snobs to celebrate the TBWS One Year Anniversary! Unscripted watch talk, ballbusting, and horological shenanigans abounds as the group sits down to reminisce on the TBWS and how ToxicNATOs have evolved over the past year. Also be warned, unscripted means unscripted and today's episode gets pretty down, dirty, and non-PC. Brace your shit, #watchfam.

A cautionary tale but also an indicting demonstration of how prevalent fake watches are and how even the most savvy collectors can be duped.

Kaz survived Hurricane Irma and all her bullshit... now he's got a huge doomsday prepper's size hoard of red wine and gourmet peanuts... let the indulging begin (PS - he's totally not going to regret this - nope...)

Dutch design seems to be synonymous with eccentricities, oddities and a flair for the abstract. Characterised by typical and anomalous arrangements and a general nonconformist approach, “De Stijl” design tends to be polarising, to say the least. The term “De Stijl” literally translates to “the style”, and is also known as neoplasticism. Unless you’re up … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Nomos Orion 38 100 years De Stijl Limited Edition for Ace Jewellers appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology furnish Bulgari with emblems from across the epochs, but their love affair with bold women in history also holds sway on their aesthetic. Like serpents, these dangerous beauties are sinful and sinuous - and nothing less than paradoxical. Fittingly, their latest Serpenti watch is a timepiece that can literally shed … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: When your hands are tied, consensually – Bulgari Serpenti Skin collection appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I can honestly think of few watch/car matches more perfect than that of Hublot and Ferrari. The two occupy similar positions in their respective ecosystems: big, bold, and yes, even brash - but also instantly recognisable and intensely coveted.

Yes, I know - this isn’t a watch. So what are we doing talking about it?

It’s been a strong year for the Submersible collection, with Panerai hitting home runs with the latest Bronzo, the ingenious BMG-Tech and the luxe lusciousness of the solid gold PAM 684.

We all have friends who wear watches made by brands like Daniel Wellington and The Horse. We also all know that these watches are, essentially, identical.

One of the standouts for Tudor last year was the small and simple Black Bay 36. For the first time Tudor’s key collection shed its dive watch origins in favour of a sleeker, more minimal look. It also lost a sizeable amount of bulk, trimming down to a svelte 36mm, making it ideal for women … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Last year’s surprise Tudor hit just got bigger – the Heritage Black Bay 41 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

There’s a good reason the Portugieser collection is one of IWC’s most popular (in Australia at least). It’s a big, commanding watch that nevertheless possesses a grace and charm that belies its large size. This combination makes it one of the go-to statement watches.

A. Lange & Söhne’s Richard Lange Jumping Seconds is an unusual and very serious watch. The jumping seconds, or deadbeat seconds, is perhaps the most stealth complication out there – most people would assume the ticking seconds hand is powered by a battery rather than intricate gearing.

One watch leapt out at me from Oris’ 2017 collection – the Chronoris Date. Not only is the colour scheme and tonneau case shape pretty eye-catching, but it’s also an honest and authentic homage to the timepieces of the ‘70s.

TAG Heuer watches are renowned for putting the pedal to the metal – which is appropriate given their motorsports heritage. Having said that, TAG Heuer’s Baselworld 2017 releases have been both diverse and prolific.
