Every time a bunch of watch guys get together and have a few drinks, this old chestnut rears its head: “What if you could only wear one watch?” It’s a question loathed and loved in equal measure. Loved because it forces you to distill your values, tastes and hoarding tendencies into a single piece, which … ContinuedThe post RECOMMENDED READING: The dreaded ‘If you could only wear one watch’ question appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The complementary tones of the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter in bronze
Way back in January, one of the watches we were most excited to see at the SIHH was Montblanc’s high-end, Minerva-powered 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter in bronze. Partially because it’s a hot watch and partially because of its extremely limited production (only 100 pieces) we thought this would be the only chance we’d get to try … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The complementary tones of the Montblanc 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter in bronze appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Over the last few years, Panerai has gone to a lot of effort to evolve their offering.

HANDS-ON: Aggressively monochrome – the blacked-out Bulgari Octo Ultranero
With its intensely angular octagonal case, it’s easy to see why Bulgari’s Octo collection is a cult favourite. And the latest versions take the model down a darker path.

This Jaeger-LeCoultre is a great example of just how true the old saying about assumptions is.

When they’re done right, limited edition watches are great. They offer some exclusivity, membership to a special club, and that feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself.
