Like the steepest mountains in the Tour de France, Richard Mille is hors catégorie, or beyond classification. Revolution charts the rise of the RM 11-03 to the status of ultimate collectable grail watch.

I liked the look with the square shape of it. It brings back childhood memories of my Dad wearing it. I really liked the green glow. When it’s dark you wouldn’t need a flashlight to read the time. I liked that the watch wasn’t too big either.

Mido is a name that might not be too familiar to our Australian readers, as the Swatch Group brand has had the most minimal of minimal presences on our shores until recently. But as it so happens, they’re celebrating their 100th anniversary this year, and they’re doing it with a strong collection of watches, like … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Strong looks and value – the Mido Multifort GMT appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s Note: It’s easy (too easy, really) to pigeonhole a brand, often unfairly. For me, my first association with Breguet was all fluted cases, engine-turned dials and precious metal cases. To be fair, the brand does all those things exceptionally well, but you know what else they do pretty darned well? Steel sports watches, like … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: The other side of Breguet – the Type XXI 3817 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

But due diligence is always appropriate and I check out the brand's Instagram page to see what the watch looks like. After about 2 minutes of having my nose buried in my phone I slowly crane my head up towards Mike and say "Dude, we need to see this watch."

The story in a second: A value-packed chrono from one of the few remaining family-owned watch companies. It wasn’t all doom and gloom during the quartz crisis of the mid ’70s. While brands and manufacturers were disappearing left, right and centre, never to be seen again, others like Raymond Weil were only just starting out, … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If I’m completely honest, women’s watches aren’t my speciality, largely because they tend (notable exceptions aside) not to look the greatest on my fairly hairy 21cm wrist. But luckily - and thankfully - Sandra Lane is on the team. So rather than flounder my way through the intricacies of stone-setting and satin straps, I defer … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The top 9 new women’s watches from SIHH appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The Montblanc 1858 Automatic Chronograph combines a strong vintage aesthetic with a chronograph function. This model is available in a stainless steel or bronze case. The 42 mm case features both polished and satin finish, with an almost tool like design reminiscent of 50s chronograph watches. The watch comes with a do

I’m writing this, alone in the office on the last day of the year, with a whiskey and a mango on my desk (don’t ask), and it seems like the perfect time to look back on the year that was - savouring a brief, indulgent moment of reflection about 2017, before jumping, feet first into … ContinuedThe post YEAR IN REVIEW 2017: Letter from the Editor appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

At Time+Tide we typically focus on the new – the latest reviews and news.

“Girls just want watches that look pretty.” So we are told. Of course, most of us want things that look good (and, ah, don’t men want good-looking stuff too?). But “just” pretty? Please.

In recent years, Panerai has changed tack - steering a little away from the purely hard-edged, masculine image that has characterised the brand’s more recent history with models like the Luminor Due and this flyback chronograph, made to celebrate Panerai’s partnership with the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, or PCYC.

I didn’t appreciate just how good the new Master Chronometer Omega Aqua Terras were until I spent some proper time with them.

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, rather ironically, is not a saying that appears to be said very often around the watch design department at Bulgari.

Rado’s HyperChrome Captain Cook has made waves this year, mostly due to the nearly pitch perfect 37mm reissue. And while there’s a lot to like about that watch, I suspect that the comparatively petite case size will be a deal-breaker for some people.

When we evaluate a watch, one of our key criteria is clarity. Things like: Is the watch legible? Can you read the time in an instant? But clarity isn’t everything.

While the watches at SIHH change every year, one thing stays reassuringly the same, and that is the drama surrounding them. Sometimes it’s big, like the deregulation of the Swiss Franc. Sometimes it’s small, like a brand being a little too obsfucatory in a press release over the origins of a movement.
