HANDS-ON: Chase the blues away – 3 new models added to Raymond Weil’s classical Maestro family
One of the Raymond Weil’s great strengths has always been stylish, sharp, everyday dress pieces, something that’s really epitomised in the Maestro line. Well, at Basel that line got a little bigger, with the addition of three new, blue-dialled options. These watches, like many things in the world of Raymond Weil, take their inspiration from … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Chase the blues away – 3 new models added to Raymond Weil’s classical Maestro family appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Somewhere over the rainbow – 8 of the year’s best gem-set watches
There’s no point sugar-coating it. Gem-set watches aren’t for everyone. For one, all that ice racks up the price tag (so much so that all the watches below are POA), and for another, it takes a certain type of person to appreciate the - occasionally over-the-top - artistry it takes to make a watch shine … ContinuedThe post LIST: Somewhere over the rainbow – 8 of the year’s best gem-set watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph
Let’s be real here. Ever since we saw the new Laureato last year, we knew the chronograph version was inevitable. After all, what’s a luxury sports watch without the option of the default sports complication? There’s no doubt that this good-looking sporty option is the brand’s commercial focus, so it makes sense that a veritable … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The classically charming Montblanc Star Legacy Nicolas Rieussec Chronograph
Of all of Montblanc’s fine timepieces, I’ve had a soft spot for the distinctive Rieussec line, an uncommon take on the common chronograph that draws its inspiration from the daddy of them all, the original chronograph device invented by the eponymous Frenchman, Nicolas Rieussec.

The story in a second: A lot of value for not a lot of case.

Not to get too metaphysical with you on a Saturday morning, but does three watches count as a list?

EDITOR’S PICK: The other side of Breguet – the Type XXI 3817
Editor’s Note: It’s easy (too easy, really) to pigeonhole a brand, often unfairly. For me, my first association with Breguet was all fluted cases, engine-turned dials and precious metal cases. To be fair, the brand does all those things exceptionally well, but you know what else they do pretty darned well?

Swatch Sistem51 Review: Should You Keep The Receipt?
The first time that I was introduced to a Swatch Sistem51 was in a marketing email from Hodinkee announcing their collaboration with Swatch. The Swatch Sistem51 cost $150, which piqued my interest immediately. It was only a fraction of the cost of anything else that Hodinkee offered (besides a magazine).
