HANDS-ON: Crashing to earth – Piaget’s Altiplano with meteorite dial
Adding variety in the world of ultra-thin watchmaking is tricky. Because in this space, additional complications typically equals extra thickness - and that defeats the aim of the exercise. So instead of working on altering the mechanics, you change the aesthetics, which is just what Piaget has done here with these new additions to the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Crashing to earth – Piaget’s Altiplano with meteorite dial appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Felix’s top 3 picks under $10k from SIHH 2019
Look, I’m going to be honest with you. Believe it or not, SIHH doesn’t have a whole lot on offer in the sub $10,000 category.

Over the last few years, Ulysse Nardin has been greatly expanding its Freak family (a smart move say I), and the latest member is the Freak X, which joins the Freak Out and Freak Vision.

There is absolutely zero doubt that Moser know their way around a fine dial. Their fumé is hypnotic perfection at its best.

HANDS-ON: The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski Titanium Alternative Pavé
To my mind, the watches coming out of Hublot’s partnership with contemporary artist Richard Orlinski have been some of the brand’s most striking. The bold, geometric look manages to be both in keeping with Hublot’s design ethos, while looking on-trend. At the heart of this, Orlinski’s appeal is the facets, which allows the typically blocky … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski Titanium Alternative Pavé appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
