Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic ceramic Apr 30, 2019

HANDS-ON: Blacked-out – the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic ceramic

In 2014, with the launch of its first Octo Finissimo (hand-wound) models, Bulgari rewrote the rules of skinny. Until then, an ultra-thin watch was defined by discreet styling, a round case, precious metal – in short, the ultimate dress watch. Then along came Octo Finissimo, with its shape-shifting trick of looking both supermodel-skinny and swaggeringly … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Blacked-out – the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic ceramic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

To understand the Vacheron Constantin Twin Beat, we need to begin with a universal truth: in most areas of life, the most meaningful innovations are those that address real-life needs, solving practical problems in a sensible way.

The Mark XI was the first watch that really got me ‘into’ watches, and it has endured over the decades as an icon of good, utilitarian design.

Worldtimers - which allow you to, at a glance, quickly determine the time anywhere across the globe - aren’t the most common complications.

Editor’s note: I ran into the lovely Erika a few times back at Baselworld, and it was clear she was having a good time.

The Defy is playing an increasingly important role in Zenith’s lineup - offering a modern alternative to the Pilot’s line that has dominated the discussion for so long.

HANDS-ON: The edgy, architectural Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon

Hublot has been growing the Spirit of Big Bang line slowly and steadily, and though the SoBB Yellow Sapphire was quite the cool addition, this new tourbillon is (in my humble opinion) easily the best new offering in the collection. The Hublot calibre HUB6020 was designed specifically for the tonneau-shaped case of the Spirit, and … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The edgy, architectural Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Hublot Classic Fusion Ferrari GT

A Hublot with soft, flowing lines. Now there’s a phrase I never thought I’d write. The Ferrari–Hublot collaboration has produced a stream of watches since 2011, each time with a different look and feel: from Big Bang variations to the outstanding MP-05 LaFerrari and, two years ago, the Techframe.

Seiko’s archive is full of exceptional and much-loved dive watches. One of the brightest lights in this pantheon is the 6105, a real workhorse of the 1970s, and a distinctive one at that - thanks to its large, cushiony case and a crown at four. And while the visuals of the watch certainly didn’t hurt, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Seiko Diver’s Re-creation Limited Edition SLA033 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s no secret that the Octo Finissimo has been a watch that’s kick-started the heart of Bulgari’s recent string of critical hits.

HANDS-ON: A deep-diving Greek, the Ianos Avyssos

In these days of globalised production and democratised design it seems like there are more micro watch brands than ever before and, really, most of them are pretty forgettable, all riffing from the same songbook/factory catalogue. So when something a little left of centre shows up, I tend to pay attention.

Last year I had the pleasure of reviewing the Ghost Explorer, a contemporarily styled sports watch from Australian-based Creux Automatiq. It was a surprisingly sophisticated and solid piece of kit, so when I saw posts of their forthcoming line, the Diamondback, I was keen to get my hands on one.

HANDS-ON: The Rolex Milgauss Z-Blue – the rebel Rolex

Even though many look to Rolex as a steadfast, unchanging bastion of the watch world, there are some definite outliers in the field. Bejewelled GMT-Masters, leopard Daytonas (which have now given way to unobtainium rainbow Daytona). These models are so uncommon and special that they do not really skew the public’s view of Rolex as a manufacturer … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Rolex Milgauss Z-Blue – the rebel Rolex appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Over the years I’ve had a few run-ins with UK-based brand Christopher Ward, having reviewed some of their older world time and jump hour watches.

There were a lot of very interesting watches released at SIHH. Oftentimes, this interest was centred around complication - and rightly so, it’s really the watch industry’s traditional bailiwick. But for me, one of the most interesting collections overall was Panerai.

If I’m being honest, this is one of the less “Breguet” watches Breguet has released in recent years. It’s an unconventional mix of traditional features, in a much more contemporary package.
