VIDEO: Holding the last watch that walked on the moon in your hand (and quietly freaking out)

Nothing hints at the story of a watch more than its imperfections. A thick scratch across the crystal. Could that have been a motorbike accident? A near miss with a switchblade? A ding in the otherwise smooth shoulder of the lugs. Something mundane like an errant car door, or seatbelt buckle on a plane? A … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Holding the last watch that walked on the moon in your hand (and quietly freaking out) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Plotting a cleaner bearing for the collection with a host of … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronometer – streamlined and launched in luxury appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

WHAT SEALED THE DEAL: On Nathan’s Omega Speedmaster “Tintin”

The story of Omega’s Speedmaster “Tintin” is the tale of a watch that almost never was. The same goes for Nathan and his red-and-white chequered dial Speedy. When did you first see/hear about it? I have always found the most interesting watches to be unique variations of classic designs.

HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept

Few colours have the symbolic weight of black. It’s meaningful in pretty much every culture. It’s associated - naturally enough - with darkness, mourning and solemnity, and with endings and beginnings. It’s also a colour of power and authority. All these associations and emotions are tied up in Moser’s latest conceptual piece, the Endeavour Perpetual … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
