LIST: Quick! Change! 5 of the best hot-swappable straps on the market right now
It took Apple, and their eponymous watch, to really hammer home the point that the traditional fine watch industry was stuck in the past. No, not with regards to the watch itself - I’m still plenty fine with gears and wheels - no, the real revelation was that it doesn’t have to be so hard to … ContinuedThe post LIST: Quick!

RECOMMENDED READING: Are watches the new bitcoin?
Well, that’s the somewhat provocative title of this piece by Alex Williams, which cites numerous high-profile celebrities wearing high-ticket price vintage pieces as the driver for this ever-rising tide. For people reading T+T regularly, it’s the tale of ever-increasing premiums on seemingly innocuous sports watches.

A Life On Wrist: Seiko SRP309 Orange Monster

Yesterday, Dwayne Johnson touched down in Las Vegas to showcase his new buddy action flick Hobbs & Shaw at CinemaCon, an industry event.

Is the North Flag the forgotten Tudor?
Editor’s note: When it was first released, waaaaay back in 2015, the North Flag was a big deal.

INTRODUCING: Steely splendour – the Panerai Luminor Marina PAM00977 and PAM00978
Bracelets aren’t something you see strapped to Panerai watches too often, which is, I think, a bit of a shame, as that half-moon design is quite distinctive and stylish.
