HANDS-ON: The Longines Legend Diver, now on mesh
Earlier this year we had a look at one of the classic watches from Longines’ catalogue, the Legend Diver – a heritage diver inspired by old-school super compressors. The Legend has always been popular amongst watch lovers, and an important precursor to the heritage trend that has slowly grown to become all-encompassing. Turns out that … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Longines Legend Diver, now on mesh appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

This month really flew by, which, going by the past six months, is the new standard. It started with a quick visit from @Nikokav who was down from Sydney for ‘work’ with his Omega Planet Ocean.

VIDEO: Smart and stylish – the Montblanc Summit
When smartwatches burst onto wrists in a big way with the Apple Watch and its Android powered competitors, the response from the Swiss hegemony lacked a single clear message. Some brands spurned the very concept of a luxury smartwatch, while others wholeheartedly embraced this new frontier. A few years on and the landscape has changed, … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Smart and stylish – the Montblanc Summit appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Le Locle – a forgotten classic, revisited
Imagine you were suddenly launched back in time and onto the deck of a naval ship in the second half of the 19th century. What’s the very first thing you’d do? Personally, if I’ve learnt anything about time travel from The Terminator, I’d find some clothes. Shortly after that, I’d be pretty keen to know exactly … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Le Locle – a forgotten classic, revisited appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: A softer shape – the Bulgari Octo Roma
“When in Rome, do as the Romans do”, rather ironically, is not a saying that appears to be said very often around the watch design department at Bulgari.

HANDS-ON: Undeniably impressive – the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang 45mm Sapphire
The Spirit Of Big Bang is one of my favourite lines from Hublot.

VIDEO: Tudor pares it back with the Black Bay Steel
I’m on record as being quite a fan of the Black Bay Steel. For me, it was one of the real highlights of Baselworld 2017.
