HANDS-ON: Undeniably impressive – the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang 45mm Sapphire
The Spirit Of Big Bang is one of my favourite lines from Hublot. Partially that’s down to my occasionally contrarian nature wanting to stand out from the regular Big Bang herd, but mostly it’s because I find the large and in charge tonneau case shape is a perfect complement to the brand’s Art of Fusion … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Undeniably impressive – the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang 45mm Sapphire appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Tudor pares it back with the Black Bay Steel
I’m on record as being quite a fan of the Black Bay Steel. For me, it was one of the real highlights of Baselworld 2017. At first this might seem like a bit of an odd choice as the BB Chrono and S&G; were the ‘buzzier’ pieces. For me, though, the Steel takes the Black … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Tudor pares it back with the Black Bay Steel appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: A charming surprise – the Oris Big Crown 1917
Oris has developed a bit of a reputation for consistently releasing surprising vintage-inspired pieces. Having said that, their Big Crown 1917 is a little more surprising than most. That’s partly because Oris had no idea the watch that inspired it existed - this little piece of Hölstein history has been sitting in their archives, quietly … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A charming surprise – the Oris Big Crown 1917 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Earlier this year Bell & Ross released a pair of their trademark square watches that demonstrated quite a different take on their perennial aviation theme.
