VIDEO: What becomes of the open hearted – the Rado True Open Heart

Really, at the heart of the appeal of a mechanical watch is the ticking, whirring escapement that sets the pace. That and the assemblage of wheel and bridges that powers and supports it. So it’s apt then that this Rado cuts to the core quickly: the True Open Heart lives up to its name, exposing … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: What becomes of the open hearted – the Rado True Open Heart appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

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.

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.

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.

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.
