HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal?
Let’s get this out of the way early on. Does the Girard-Perregaux Laureato share some visual similarities with other well-known luxury steel sports watches? Sure, but we can easily think of half a dozen watches that fit that particular bill. AP and Patek don’t have a monopoly on ’70s design. And make no mistake, the Laureato … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Girard-Perregaux’s Laureato in steel – is it a steal? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

MY WEEKEND WITH: the RADO Hyperchrome Ultra Light Limited Edition Automatic XL
When I opened the box in the hotel room, after arriving in Queensland for the Rado-sponsored Brisbane International tennis tournament, I was taken aback. This was not the watch I was expecting. Perhaps years of indoctrination and the current advertising campaign – with a ball bouncing around in a 3D model of a Match Point dial – … ContinuedThe post MY WEEKEND WITH: the RADO Hyperchrome Ultra Light Limited Edition Automatic XL appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: What a difference a dial makes – the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar
The cool and elegant Vacheron Constantin booth at SIHH was packed with highly complicated pieces (including the most complicated piece), and their top-line SIHH releases were a mass of brain-bending masterpieces, heavy on the sonneries, sidereal time and celestial maps. But amid all this mechanical splendour I found myself coming back to a simpler – … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: What a difference a dial makes – the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Perpetual Calendar appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: A little bit of bronze goes a long way – the Montblanc 1858 Automatic
This year sees Montblanc introduce bronze into its watch collections for the very first time – and we have to say they’ve done it in an unusual and (as is typical for the brand) very smart way. With the exception of the high-end Villeret piece, Montblanc has avoided releasing full bronze-cased watches, instead employing the distinctive … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A little bit of bronze goes a long way – the Montblanc 1858 Automatic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
