HANDS-ON: Around the world with the Breguet Classique Hora Mundi ref. 5717
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. Thank goodness – for we rarely encounter a watch … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Around the world with the Breguet Classique Hora Mundi ref. 5717 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

IN-DEPTH: The Longines Conquest V.H.P. GMT “Flash Setting”
The story in a second: A rare case of quartz having legit enthusiast appeal, albeit in a clever, and very novel, fashion. Say “it’s quartz” and countless watch nerds cringe; however, there have been some exceptions to the rule over the years. Of course, Grand Seiko Spring Drive calibers get a pass on account of … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Longines Conquest V.H.P. GMT “Flash Setting” appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

RECOMMENDED READING: Wired’s tech take on the smartwatch
For a site ostensibly about fine mechanical watches we spend a decent amount of time talking and thinking about watches of the smart variety.

Pancor Watch P02 Review and My Kickstarter Buying Experience
I found the Pancor Watches P02 and I fell in love with it. This watch called to me for a three reasons: (1) It had a hi-beat movement. All of the watches I had experienced up to this point were 21.6k beats per hour, and I yearned for a smoother sweep; (2) it was black PVD and I thought that was awesome; (3) And the power reserve reminded me of that elusive Tudor North Flag.

Ep. #107 I’m Not a Watch Collector
Kaz and Mike take a break from the structured episodes to discuss some more personal aspects of watch collecting. During this very special holiday season, the guys reflect on the role social media plays in pressuring consumers into thinking they need to become watch collectors. As a result, they stop to wonder if they actually are "collectors" or a couple of dudes that just love watches. Oh, and a major watch collection purge is coming soon - so keep an eye out for some cool giveaways.

VIDEO: The big-hearted Rado HyperChrome XL Open Heart
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.
