VIDEO: The Longines Flagship Heritage 60th Anniversary

The hardest thing when recreating a vintage watch design is knowing when to stop. Some changes - swapping the plexiglass crystal for sapphire, and upgrading the movement - are logical, and others, like an increase in size to more modern dimensions, make sense. But the real art is knowing where to stop, and what to keep. … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The Longines Flagship Heritage 60th Anniversary appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

MY WEEK WITH: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph

A few weeks ago I had the distinct honour and pleasure of spending some time with Montblanc (and 50 or so other watch journalists) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Now, prior to booking flights I had a decidedly foggy understanding of where Jackson Hole was and what it was all about (not coastal, mountains). And while … ContinuedThe post MY WEEK WITH: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

This might come as a surprise to you, but the luxury watch industry is a well-oiled, smoothly running hype machine.

VIDEO: Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive technology explained … in 2 minutes

Fundamentally, there’s not a whole lot of variation in watch movements. Sure, the peripheral details might vary, but basically you’re either looking at a purely mechancial movement, with a mainspring and escapement setup that’s remained pretty much unchanged for the last few hundred years, or you’re looking at a battery-powered quartz watch that’s come to … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive technology explained … in 2 minutes appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Play of light – Raymond Weil’s Freelancer Chronograph

There’s a reason chronographs are one of the most perennially popular watch complications – they add a lot to a watch. Functionality, interesting design elements, and a sense of derring-do, thanks to the chronograph’s close association with the exciting and glamorous worlds of motorsports, aviation and general athletic endeavour. Most importantly though, they add a … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Play of light – Raymond Weil’s Freelancer Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Red alert – could you wear Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Red Sapphire?

There’s something about the colour red. In nature it symbolises danger, in human culture it’s got a more complex set of meanings: typically passion, strength, desire – emotion writ large. Which is why this glistening red sapphire confection is the logical extension of Hublot’s journey into sapphire. Not only does the vivid case amplify all … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Red alert – could you wear Hublot’s Big Bang Unico Red Sapphire? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

One of Grand Seiko’s most in-demand and instantly identifiable watches is the Snowflake, AKA the SBGA211. For many, this pure, and deceptively simple, watch epitomises the high-end Japanese maker, and it certainly exhibits all the Grand Seiko hallmarks: exceptional casework, precise finishing techniques, and those glimmering hands and hour markers.

LIST: Ultimate transparency - Hublot’s sapphire evolution, in 13 watches

First things first, what is sapphire crystal? Essentially, it’s the same stuff used to make a watch ‘glass’ and display casebacks, formed by crystallising aluminium oxide at very high temperatures to create an extremely hard material. Roughly speaking, it mimics what Earth has taken 400 million or so years to do, to form natural sapphire … ContinuedThe post LIST: Ultimate transparency - Hublot’s sapphire evolution, in 13 watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Around this time of the year I’m prone to a bit of the old ‘best watch’ game – running through my favourite releases in a particular brand or category. And typically it’s a pretty clear-cut decision for me. Not so with Tudor’s 2017 collection. I’ve found myself going back and forth over two watches pretty … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: All that glitters – the Tudor Heritage Black Bay S&G; appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
