OPINION: 3 stress relief ideas if the new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection is causing you discomfort

Feelings. We all have them. They make us human. They make us who we are. But sometimes they can get the better of us. Like, remember when Tudor released the Black Bay chronograph? Boy, that seemed controversial at the time. And then there was the new Rolex Air-King. Holy smokes! Who could forget all this madness? Neither, … ContinuedThe post OPINION: 3 stress relief ideas if the new Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection is causing you discomfort appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s one sleep to SIHH, and the watch releases are coming thick and fast, with many of the exhibiting brands giving us a peek at some of their highlight releases.

INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Freak X, more accessible, but still freaky

Over the last few years, Ulysse Nardin has been greatly expanding its Freak family (a smart move say I), and the latest member is the Freak X, which joins the Freak Out and Freak Vision.

LIST: Looking back at Rado’s heritage highlights

Rado isn’t a brand that you typically think of when you think about ‘heritage’. On the one hand this makes perfect sense, as the brand is best known for their decidedly modern materials and avant-garde designs. But on the other, Rado has been around for a while (since 1917), and has a host of great … ContinuedThe post LIST: Looking back at Rado’s heritage highlights appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Glimmering through the darkness – Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept in red gold

There is absolutely zero doubt that Moser know their way around a fine dial. Their fumé is hypnotic perfection at its best. Last year the brand upped the ante with their conceptual perpetual with impossibly black Vantablack dial. Well, if this well of blackness (which is a wonder on the wrist) leaves you as cold … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Glimmering through the darkness – Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept in red gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

NEWS: Chanel steps up their in-house watchmaking capacity with investment in new factory

I’ve been saying for a while now that Chanel are a force to watch when it comes to serious watchmaking. Their recent high-end movements are impressive, to say the least. They’re already investors in Romain Gauthier, and - more recently - F.P. Journe. The latest step in Chanel’s increasing in-house journey is their acquisition of … ContinuedThe post NEWS: Chanel steps up their in-house watchmaking capacity with investment in new factory appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The remarkable Hora Mundi ref. 5717 made its first appearance in 2011, to an enthusiastic reception. Then, in 2016, when Breguet launched an updated version (ref. 5727) they spoke of it as a replacement for the original. But some things are simply too special to discontinue.

The story in a second: A rare case of quartz having legit enthusiast appeal, albeit in a clever, and very novel, fashion.

Two Broke Watch Snobs

Casio Wave Ceptor Review WV-59DJ-1AJF Dec 31, 2018

Casio Wave Ceptor Review (WV-59DJ-1AJF)

But as I spent time with the Casio Wave Ceptor, I began to realize why I never really considered it to be appropriate as a grab-and-go quartz watch. There are certain nuances of this watch that made me realize that it really isn't the best watch for everyone. So if you're thinking about picking up the WV-59DJ-1AJF - this Casio Wave Ceptor review is for you.

For a site ostensibly about fine mechanical watches we spend a decent amount of time talking and thinking about watches of the smart variety.

A little while ago, Tudor shared two short videos with their premier ambassador, Mr David Beckham, that looked at two of his Tudor watches.

As 2018 comes to a close, we thought it appropriate to look back at one of our favourite brands - Tudor, who’ve had a noteworthy few years, especially in the ambassador department. It’s particularly interesting to reflect on, given the fact that until recently the brand never really played the ambassador game.

One of the more intriguing releases from Tudor this year - and one that didn’t get quite the attention it otherwise would have, thanks to the show-stealing GMT - was the classically styled 1926. Taking its name from the year the Tudor name was registered, it also owes some design cues to this golden era … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Tudor’s 1926 is a classic charmer appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s not many sleeps until Christmas, and the spirit of the season has well and truly taken over in the Time+Tide office, and – as so often happens – our idle speculation has turned to watches.

Many of Rado’s case designs lean towards what we can, in air quotes, refer to as ‘designer’. Sleek, modernist offerings that evoke a high-concept design language. The HyperChrome has some elements of these, in the lines of bracelet in particular, but the overall shape is one of their more traditional - a simple, sturdy round … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The big-hearted Rado HyperChrome XL Open Heart appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the Aquaracer. To my mind, it’s something of an unsung hero in TAG Heuer’s chronograph-heavy line-up. But the modern diver looks the business and, in a water-loving country like Australia, makes sense. It’s also quite a youthful feeling watch, which makes a nice changeup from … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

At its heart, Panerai is about diving. The brand was born under the waves and continues to call the underwater world home.

There are a lot of things I love about Hublot, and I’ve got to say, this watch manages to cram pretty much all of them (barring ceramic) into one awesome, 45mm package.

To my mind, the watches coming out of Hublot’s partnership with contemporary artist Richard Orlinski have been some of the brand’s most striking. The bold, geometric look manages to be both in keeping with Hublot’s design ethos, while looking on-trend. At the heart of this, Orlinski’s appeal is the facets, which allows the typically blocky … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski Titanium Alternative Pavé appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
