I don’t always do what I’m told, which frustrates my team. I was asked to supply three favourite stories of the year. I supplied seven. “Please, only three,” said Ceri. I met her in the middle and supplied five.

In the last few years, storm clouds have formed over the Helvetic Republic, where, for years, there has been nothing but blue sky and crisp alpine air. First they were mere zephyrs, barely rippling the surface of our collective consciousness, hardly worthy of mention in those glorious, post-GFC days. More recently we’ve noticed an increasing number of … ContinuedThe post YEAR IN REVIEW 2016: Letter from the Editor appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Some LA prop masters may be able to take credit for Ryan Gosling’s consistently excellent choices in vintage wristwear – and you’re welcome to correct us if you know, or are one of them – but for now, we’re going to put forward the idea that he has something to do with choosing them himself. … ContinuedThe post WATCHSPOTTING: Do you know what the mystery vintage Omega Gosling wears in La La Land is? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Silent night, holy night, all is calm, apart from the reassuring tick of your Franck Muller Thunderbolt Tourbillon.

As you climb higher and higher up the horological Christmas tree – which, by the way we don’t advise in real life, unless this happens – the stars at the top start to thin out, leaving, at least in days of yore, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet shining brightly as Swiss watchmaking’s ‘big three’.

How has your Christmas present wrapping been going? Maybe take some tips from Jaeger-LeCoultre. The Reverso Tribute Calendar fits contemporary and classic into a very neat package. The pink gold case measuring 29.9 mm wide by 49.4mm tall is neither too petite nor too large for most, and it’s quite impressive how many complications JLC can fit … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 22 – Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Calendar appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Ah, the tourbillon! You should be so lucky to find one under your tree come Sunday morning.

When Cartier announced the release of the Hypnose collection, there was only one person we wanted to work with to spread the news: style influencer Melanie Liu, better known by her online persona @thetiafox.

If you want to get technical (and at T+T we always do), camouflage is a combination of patterns, colours and materials that serves to conceal an object and help it blend in with its surroundings.

Blancpain are definitely on Santa’s nice list this year, for their serious efforts in ocean preservation.

Firstly, let’s not delude ourselves: your timepiece is going to impress more men than women. That’s a given. Unless of course it’s awful.
