HANDS-ON: Singing the blues with the ladies’ Ulysse Nardin Classico

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.

When our good friend Justin Mastine-Frost was assembling his lists of last year’s best watches at various budgets, one entry in the 3-4k category sprung out – the Hyperchrome 1616. And no, not just because of how huge it is. The reason it stood out is because it challenges many of the stereotypes and preconceptions about Rado watches. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Retro Rado – the funkadelic HyperChrome 1616 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
