“Don’t mention the war” - Will real war reduce our appetite for war-related watches? 

This morning I was idly flicking through stories on my phone while answering emails, and found myself thick in a cluster of Ukraine-related footage on a friend’s account. He is of Eastern European descent, and his family live within 30km of the Ukrainian border. One of the stories appeared to be shot on a phone … ContinuedThe post “Don’t mention the war” – Will real war reduce our appetite for war-related watches?  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Penfolds Bin 60A 1962: Australia’s Greatest Wine Ever (Or Certainly A Serious Contender) - Reprise

Best Australian wine of all time? There are a few options, but for Ken Gargett there's a clear winner: Penfolds Bin 60A 1962, a wine that was never commercially released. And whether the Bin 60A 1962 is indeed the GOAT of Australian wine hardly matters. He does suggest, though, that if the opportunity to try it ever comes up, cross oceans to do so. You’ll never regret it.

Talking to Shane Warne taught me how a man should choose his watch

I met Shane Warne last June on a photoshoot. He turned up slightly late with his mahogany suntan and dazzling white teeth and instantly won over the crew with his forthright charm.
