IN-DEPTH: The Longines Conquest V.H.P. GMT “Flash Setting”

The story in a second: A rare case of quartz having legit enthusiast appeal, albeit in a clever, and very novel, fashion. Say “it’s quartz” and countless watch nerds cringe; however, there have been some exceptions to the rule over the years. Of course, Grand Seiko Spring Drive calibers get a pass on account of … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Longines Conquest V.H.P. GMT “Flash Setting” appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel

I like to imagine this time of year as an Advent calendar for watch lovers, with pre-release announcements being dropped each and every day as the countdown to SIHH 2019 ticks ever closer. Today’s delectable delight comes courtesy of Jaeger-LeCoultre, and not only is it new, it’s also blue, and delivers an impressively novel take … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Casio Wave Ceptor Review (WV-59DJ-1AJF)

But as I spent time with the Casio Wave Ceptor, I began to realize why I never really considered it to be appropriate as a grab-and-go quartz watch. There are certain nuances of this watch that made me realize that it really isn't the best watch for everyone. So if you're thinking about picking up the WV-59DJ-1AJF - this Casio Wave Ceptor review is for you.

RECOMMENDED READING: Wired’s tech take on the smartwatch 

For a site ostensibly about fine mechanical watches we spend a decent amount of time talking and thinking about watches of the smart variety. But we come at the genre (which is, thanks to Apple, the biggest category of watch in the game at the moment) from a fairly particular (dare I say biased) perspective, … ContinuedThe post RECOMMENDED READING: Wired’s tech take on the smartwatch  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INSIGHT: David Beckham’s Tudors prove that old, messed up watches are the best

A little while ago, Tudor shared two short videos with their premier ambassador, Mr David Beckham, that looked at two of his Tudor watches. And I’ve got to say, as far as showing what a brand is all about, they’re pretty hard to beat. The first video looks at the first Tudor watch Beckham owned … ContinuedThe post INSIGHT: David Beckham’s Tudors prove that old, messed up watches are the best appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Ep. #107 I’m Not a Watch Collector

Kaz and Mike take a break from the structured episodes to discuss some more personal aspects of watch collecting. During this very special holiday season, the guys reflect on the role social media plays in pressuring consumers into thinking they need to become watch collectors. As a result, they stop to wonder if they actually are "collectors" or a couple of dudes that just love watches. Oh, and a major watch collection purge is coming soon - so keep an eye out for some cool giveaways.

Certina DS PH200M Review Two Broke Watch Snobs
Certina DS PH200M Review Dec 23, 2018

Certina DS PH200M Review

The watch deftly combines a vintage aesthetic with modern technology and does it all without relying on the faux patina that can be so polarizing within the watch community. This piece helps to mark the 130th anniversary of Certina, references a watch dating back over half a century, and (given the Swatch Group’s exit from Baselworld) also marks Certina’s last hurrah at the venerated festival.

VIDEO: Tudor’s 1926 is a classic charmer

One of the more intriguing releases from Tudor this year - and one that didn’t get quite the attention it otherwise would have, thanks to the show-stealing GMT - was the classically styled 1926. Taking its name from the year the Tudor name was registered, it also owes some design cues to this golden era … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Tudor’s 1926 is a classic charmer appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

A little while ago I made my way down to Cartier’s Collins Street boutique in Melbourne, spent a little time amidst the glittering plinths and picked out some watches that, for me at least, really epitomise what makes the Maison’s watchmaking so great. Of course there are numerous shapes in attendance, from the circle of … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 8 Cartier watches that stand out  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the Aquaracer. To my mind, it’s something of an unsung hero in TAG Heuer’s chronograph-heavy line-up. But the modern diver looks the business and, in a water-loving country like Australia, makes sense. It’s also quite a youthful feeling watch, which makes a nice changeup from … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Which Panerai Submersible is right for you? 

At its heart, Panerai is about diving. The brand was born under the waves and continues to call the underwater world home. Which is why we found ourselves, several weeks ago, watching - slightly nervously - as a brace of Panerai Submersibles dipped into a giant tank full of rays, sharks and other (less threatening) fish … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Which Panerai Submersible is right for you?  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Sapphire Rainbow

There are a lot of things I love about Hublot, and I’ve got to say, this watch manages to cram pretty much all of them (barring ceramic) into one awesome, 45mm package. It’s the Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Sapphire Rainbow, and it does pretty much what it says on the tin.

Hublot has built its brand on the twin pillars of big and bold - I mean, they don’t call it a Big Bang for nothing. This year the brand changed tack with the announcement of a scaled-down Big Bang, clocking in at a much more wrist-friendly 42mm. Just quietly, I think this is an awesome … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Small but powerful, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Chronograph 42mm appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
