We’re all taught the colours of the rainbow from pre-school, so it’s amazing how many of us grow up to wear only black. Anything brighter is definitely viewed as a risk, which is why smaller wardrobe items are a great starting point for that gamble. For guys, it might be a patterned pocket square or … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Singing the blues with the ladies’ Ulysse Nardin Classico appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If you like watches (you do) and exist in a digital age (also affirmative) there’s a good chance you’ve encountered the garrulous Adam Craniotes – heck you might have even seen his tour of NYC. And if you’ve come across @Craniotes, you’ve probably heard the story of his IWC Perpetual Calendar, and how he had to … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Why I love my watch – with RedBar founder Adam Craniotes appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Panerai kicked off 2017 with a bang. The brand that artfully bolts together ‘Italian design and Swiss precision’ showed a cohesive range with a strong material focus at SIHH in January. At the collection’s core was the mighty Luminor Submersible in many shapes and sizes. Andrew and I picked our three favourite takes on this … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Panerai 2017 collection overview and our 3 favourites *post may contain traces of bronze* appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: One morning at work, around 9:20am, I looked up from my desk and saw a face peering through the front door. This isn’t so unusual; our office has the sort of shop front that makes us look like we might be a retail space – we field a few of these queries a … ContinuedThe post MY WATCH STORY: David’s Patek Philippe Aquanaut appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It might be stating the obvious, but this Aquaracer doesn’t have a tourbillon or a modular case construction. Nor is it a smart watch, or a reissue of a ’70s watchmaking icon. This is a plain old ‘new watch’ from a well known family. No bells, no whistles, just an absolute winner of a watch. On … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

A little while ago, we ran our annual reader survey, giving entrants the chance to walk away with an Oris timepiece – a choice between the limited edition bronze Carl Brashear Divers Sixty-Five and a Divers Sixty-Five in steel. The lucky winner was Alan from Sydney, who chose the mighty bronze Carl Brashear. (Interestingly enough, an Alan … ContinuedThe post MY WATCH STORY: Alan’s Oris Carl Brashear appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

When Tudor took their technical diver, the mighty Pelagos, and transformed it into the Pelagos LHD, they created a late – and very worthy – entrant into all the ‘Top Watches of 2016’ lists. It was a nice little left hook that hit more than just the southpaw audience. Because, in addition to flipping it so that … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 5 – The Tudor Pelagos LHD appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

October was a crazy, crazy month, but before we dive in, I must address the bronze elephant in the room. Carl has gone, and he’s not coming back.

Watch brands don’t change the world, right? Sure, it’s easy enough to create a limited edition watch that raises funds and awareness, but as for true and lasting change for the better…? Very rare.

There was a time when the American watch industry was a fierce compeditor of the Swiss. Some believe this is once again the case, although now the Americans are armed with the Apple Watch. Personally, I think that for some, the Apple Watch might be an “add on” to their collection, but I am not […]

At Baselworld Nomos introduced a new watch called Minimatik. This name is proof of the subtilty of German humor since it might actually be the most grande watch Nomos has ever created. No not by size, actually definately not by size, because with a diameter of 35.5mm most men will raise an eyebrow. They should […]

The Frequential One F110 from Manufacture Contemporaine du Temps (MCT) incorporates a new movement that embodies both masterful creativity and, some might say, the key to happiness. MCT has established itself as the author of singular mechanical movements that represent time with depth and perception beyond the realm of traditional watchmaking. Some watch manufacturers appear […]

Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been called inventors first and watchmakers second. When visiting their manufacture, the diagrams and formulas that adorn many interior surfaces support this impression. The inventor reference is certainly no insult – the same might be said of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Greubel Forsey’s approach to watchmaking is, if not singular, certainly […]

You might not expect it but within Patek Philippe’s design department works a genuine and actually quite famous artist; Xavier Magaldi. This by itself might not come as such a surprise, but Magaldi is not into still life paintings or even creations of a more impressionistic nature, no, Magaldi is into street art! Though not […]

Having already presented an outstanding line-up of new watches earlier this year – headed up by the exceptional Master Ultra Thin Minute Repeater – you might have thought Jaeger-LeCoultre would take some time off to bask in the glory of their achievements.

Let there be no mistake; Although the title might made you think otherwise, this article has nothing to do with the material silicone, which is perhaps best known to “enhance” the beauty of the fairer sex in many different shapes and forms.

The Breitling Navitimer is one of those iconic watches that doesn’t need any introduction.

If there were an Academy Award in the watch world for brand that’s evolved not only furthest, but also the most intelligently, from its origins, the ladies and gentleman of the Academy might well have to give the award to Panerai.

With Patek Philippe’s status as the most well regarded brand at Basel every year, it stands to reason that any new product they introduce is looked upon with more intensity than those of anyone else.

At first glance, one might think that the world of fine watchmaking and the world of football share precious little in common. One is a sport that is distinguished by its universality and egalitarianism; the other is a comparatively niche luxury product that thrives on the concept of exclusivity.
