The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms that tells the story of the frogmen who used them
Editor’s note: The Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC, aside from being a damn good-looking dive watch, serves as a reminder that brands can reissue mid-century military watches without breaking the internet.

Industrial aesthetics – the Girard-Perregaux Laureato in titanium and pink gold
Editor’s note: In the last few years, two-tone watches have moved from fringe to mainstream trend status. And while it’s clear that yellow gold has been largely replaced with pink, the other material de rigueur is typically steel. Which is why we’re still so into the Girard-Perregaux Laureato in titanium and pink gold – the perfect … ContinuedThe post Industrial aesthetics – the Girard-Perregaux Laureato in titanium and pink gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
