There are three things I want in your classic Hollywood blockbuster: big monsters, bad one-liners and quality watch spotting. And from the looks of it, The Meg has all three.

The story in a second: Bulgari’s latest take on the Octo Finissimo Automatic is the anti-gold gold watch. How about a riddle to start your Monday off right? When is a gold watch not a gold watch?

This video is all about value. Not only do you get two watch reviews (we’re covering Tissot’s dressy Everytime Swissmatic as well as the sportier V8 Swissmatic), but both watches represent a solid value proposition.

The Orient NEO70s WV0071SE case is deceptively simple and looks straight-forward enough. But a closer looks reveals some wildly wonderful detailing for the price.

One of the first things people might notice about this watch is its size and sand-blasted case. At 43mm, it's pushing the limits for me personally but for something as casual and carefree as the Bayman, I think the size works together with the overall vibe.

It’s easy to think of the Carrera as purely a collection of chronographs, as that complication is where its roots and, indeed, heart lies. But for a long time the TAG Heuer Carrera has been about more than just sports timers. It’s evolved into something more, a shorthand for sports pedigree and precision. This is … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 Day-Date appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

They say your 50s are the new 30s. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are, and why exactly they say that.

Auctions can be funny things. Most of the time the coverage around watch auctions tends towards the record-breaking headlines – the most expensive this, that or the other.

The story in a second: Classic Carrera. More colour. If you spend more than a few minutes in the sometimes crazy world of watches, it’s easy to lose perspective.

One of my favourite quasi-apocryphal watch tales goes like this: There’s a guy who, for lack of anything better or more pressing to do with his life, decides to yacht-hop his way from home to Australia. Somewhere along the way, his watch (a Rolex, natch) is lost at sea. Upon mooring his boat, said sailor … ContinuedThe post OPINION: Judge not – why you shouldn’t judge someone by the watch on their wrist appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
Military aviation fills our imagination with romance, adventure and derring-do, but it is the transformative democratisation of civilian aviation that opens new horizons by bringing peoples and goods closer together on our spinning planet. And in this, there are few more emblematic of hopping across time zones in the golden age of jet travel than the Rolex GMT-Master.

Editor’s note: I’ve been saying for a few years now that Chanel is one to watch on the watchmaking front. They’ve been making watches for years of course, but in more recent times they’ve stepped up the intensity, offering beautiful (and beautifully executed) in-house movements.

If watch brands were Facebook relationship statuses, Franck Muller would be “It’s complicated”. Not because the Swiss-based manufacturer has commitment problems but, rather, quite the opposite.

This month was an interesting one, and, as you’ll see, jam-packed with one particular brand.
