Bell & Ross meets brutalism Feb 7, 2017

INTRODUCING: Bell & Ross meets brutalism with the BR 03-92 Horolum

Bell & Ross’s latest take on its classic square draws inspiration not just from aviation, but also – far less predictably – from the realms of art and architecture. The BR 03-92 Horulum is a monochrome monolith of a watch, a 42mm bead-blasted case with matching sandwich dial and complementary pale green C3 Superluminova hands and markings. On … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Bell & Ross meets brutalism with the BR 03-92 Horolum appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We all know about their intrinsic value; we are all aware of the craftsmanship, intricacy and heritage that lies beneath the faces of our favourites. But what about the watch’s role as an instrument for enthusiasts to bond over?

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 3rd February, 2017

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 3rd February, 2017

Well, we’ve definitely come down from the post-SIHH high. The lights seem somehow less dazzling (probably because it’s not being refracted through thousands of diamonds) and the mood is less giddy (probably because we’re no longer consuming a magnum of Champagne a day). Whatever the reasons, reality is well and truly back, and we’re not … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 3rd February, 2017 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium

TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Dec 21, 2016

HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium

It might be stating the obvious, but this Aquaracer doesn’t have a tourbillon or a modular case construction. Nor is it a smart watch, or a reissue of a ’70s watchmaking icon. This is a plain old ‘new watch’ from a well known family. No bells, no whistles, just an absolute winner of a watch. On … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

THE PARTY: An IWC microstory – Part 3. The finale!

Well, Christian and Evelyn have arrived at their destination and no, it’s not some Bond-villain-esque lair or a high-stakes diamond heist. Instead it’s something far more relatable and no-less stressful – a school reunion. Thankfully Christian’s fear of social inadequacy is unfounded, thanks in no small part to the Portugieser Hand-Wound on his wrist. We’ve had … ContinuedThe post THE PARTY: An IWC microstory – Part 3.

October was a crazy, crazy month, but before we dive in, I must address the bronze elephant in the room. Carl has gone, and he’s not coming back.

The story in a second When it comes to value, it’s hard to beat Seiko, and this Presage is no exception. If you ask any watch lover worth their salt to describe Seiko in five words or less, we’re willing to bet you’ll hear a phrase that’s a variant of ‘great value!’ This is true … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Seiko Presage SPB041J1- a lot of watch for $1500 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We’re no stranger to Hublot’s partnership with the Ferrari, and we’ve managed to get pretty close to the action over the years. We’ve worn the watches, checked out the pit lanes and talked about the design inspiration. But never, ever did we expect to have a Ferrari (much less the latest $600k 488 Spider) drive … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The CEO of Ferrari Australasia drives into our office (literally) to talk Hublot and the 488 Spider appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: We took the VC Overseas collection to an island paradise and It. Was. Glorious.

Was it really necessary? To take a journey involving two flights (one of them aboard a very small plane) to a tropical island somewhere between Sydney and New Zealand that, at any given time, has a maximum of 750 people on it to test out the new Vacheron Constantin Overseas Collection? I would argue that, because Lord Howe … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: We took the VC Overseas collection to an island paradise and It. Was. Glorious. appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Last Sunday I boarded a plane in Melbourne and made the 8,000-odd kilometre trek to Tokyo. And in the last week I have travelled, by Shinkansen, bus and car a further 1500 or kilometres across Japan. On my wrist every step of the way – from airport lounges to traditional Ryokans – was the Seiko Astron. … ContinuedThe post MY WEEK WITH: The Seiko Astron GPS Solar 8X Dual Time in Japan appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Are you sitting down? You’d better be, because I’m about to drop a truth bomb of bunker-busting proportions. Most dive watches out there in the real world never see anything deeper than the local pool. Shocking, I know. The truth is, there’s plenty of dive watches out there that look the business, but are less … ContinuedThe post LIST: 4 ways the Tudor Pelagos can go from desk to diver without missing a beat appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Look for a minute at your wedding ring. Do you like it? It’s hard to answer, right?

Review: Blancpain Villeret Quantième Annuel GMT steel

Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.

After Hours: Part 2 – The Art of Erotica

Original Sin An erotic watch is, in several ways, the 18th-century equivalent of pornography in your smartphone. (Or, in a more primitive age, those cute nude ballpoints where a model’s black lace basque falls off when you invert the pen, a reliable way of livening up the dullest of meetings.) One, it is advanced technology […]

Into The Deep With The Carl F. Bucherer ScubaTec

The story of Carl F. Bucherer began in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1888, a time of unparalleled cultural and artistic expression in Europe - what we now call the Belle Époque. That year, Carl Friedrich Bucherer, an entrepreneur with a passion for horology, and his wife Luise opened their first shop on the Falkenplatz in Lucerne’s […]

Bad Luck Begone! - The Richard Mille RM 26-02 Tourbillon Evil Eye

I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

Market analysis: The maturing Chinese consumer

The Chinese Consumer is changing. Gone are the days when shoppers flocked to gaudy and bling items with visible branding all over them. One can imagine that the Chinese consumer is becoming more sophisticated. They are now looking for less 'in-the-face' items but more subtle forms of materialism.

Exclusive New Complication Revealed For Vacheron Constantin Grand Oeuvre

There are about one and a half billion ethnic Chinese on this planet. I didn’t take a census or anything, I just Googled it. Out of these one and a half billion Chinese people, I’d say that less than a few hundred of them really understand how the Chinese calendar works. Once again, this is […]

de Grisogono Instrumento Carbon Chrono; Black Beauty

Is it strange to refer to a men’s watch, one crafted in masculine carbon none the less, as a beauty? Not when it comes to a de Grisogono. Fawaz Gruosi, founder and CEO of the brand, has its own approach towards designing watches, and beauty always seem to be the main ingredient. Followed right by […]

SIHH 2015: Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision

Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey have been called inventors first and watchmakers second. When visiting their manufacture, the diagrams and formulas that adorn many interior surfaces support this impression. The inventor reference is certainly no insult – the same might be said of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Greubel Forsey’s approach to watchmaking is, if not singular, certainly […]

Parmigiani & Pershing: Avant-Garde In Old School Craftsmanship

Even in the busiest, most prestigious marinas in the world, it is not that difficult to spot a Pershing yacht. Sleek, futuristic lines seem to stand a world away from traditional yachts, yet nothing is less true. Only a deep understanding of the craftsmanship needed to create the most superb traditional yacht, can result in […]

SIHH Diary – Day Two

Today was a great day for the ladies at the SIHH. It started at Parmigiani with a beautiful Tonda skeleton with an opaque dial. It seemed a little counter-productive to spend all that time polishing and angling to then hide the movement, but strangely enough the lace-like silhouette of the skeleton movement below the dial […]

Bottom Time: Tudor Pelagos

Motoring slowly along the line of buoys, five of us leaned over the starboard gunwale, scanning the clear water through polarized lenses. It had been a quiet day with no sharks in sight - unless you count the lazy nurse sharks begging for bait scraps in the marina. We’d spent languid hours between line checks […]

Panerai Luminor Base 8 Days: Master Of The Essentials

Panerai has something that no other brand has this much of. It is one of the rarest commodities in watchmaking, and many watchmakers lose sleep over the lack of it. That commodity is space. You’d expect a Panerai to be big and bulky since it is an essential part of the DNA of the brand. […]

Twenty minutes into the dive, I lose all feeling in my fingers.

My left hand curls like a frozen claw around the safety […]
