Revisiting the $20k fantasy watch collection, reader edition

The only other stipulation - you can’t choose any watches that you currently own. As for whether you choose new or second hand, it’s … ContinuedThe post Revisiting the $20k fantasy watch collection, reader edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: There were some notable absences at Baselworld 2019. A new Milgauss from Rolex, a new Monaco from TAG Heuer; in fact, the only birthday that happened on schedule, apart from the barnstorming return of Doxa in time for its 130th, was the glorious profusion of Zenith El Primero models.

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. Fast forward to me opening … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Creux Automatiq evolve their offering with the Diamondback CA-08 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Andrew’s top 3 picks of SIHH 2019 over $35k
If the over $35,000 price point is not the most crowded at SIHH, it is equal to the 20-35k bracket before it. There are a lot of watches to choose from. From Baume & Mercier, with a well-priced perpetual calendar that dropped just over 35kAUD, to Richard Mille’s sweet Bonbon confection, practically all brands were … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Andrew’s top 3 picks of SIHH 2019 over $35k appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

My last list - a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings - could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land.
