Which is why we’re particularly interested in the Portugieser Chronograph Edition “150 Years”. Quick recap in case you’ve been living under a rock for the last … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Edition “150 Years”  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Hoisting the high spirits flag with the Franck Muller Color Dreams

My art deco admiration and monochromer habits have always had me on Team Casablanca considering Franck Muller’s selections. But it is party season after all, so I am easing up on the classic palette and eyeing off a completely different proposition. The Color Dreams collection is a parade of watches with one exuberant mission: to … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Hoisting the high spirits flag with the Franck Muller Color Dreams appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT is, in marked contrast to the Polaris Automatic, a complex beast indeed, with (as you could probably guess) both chronograph and world time functionality in the one case. It’s not the first time we’ve seen this complication-combo, as the very impressive Calibre 752 pops up in sportier parts of their … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph WT appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Every November/December, like clockwork, I start pondering what constitutes the perfect summer watch, due in large part to the fact that in these months the mercury begins to rise rapidly. So what makes a summer watch? To be a contender, I think a timepiece must have three essential characteristics: water resistance, weather-suitability and a fun … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Like a sunrise on the wrist – the Halios Seaforth appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Which is why this watch was such a surprise when we first saw it - it’s a deeply traditional dress watch design.

‘Novelty’ is one of the most abused words in the watch industry. Practically, it’s used to describe the steady stream of new models and designs being produced by watchmaking brands.
