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.

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.

Rado’s DiaMaster Petite Seconde is a great contender for a go-to daily wearer, as it offers a pretty good taste of both worlds. The style is restrained without being boring - there are heritage touches there, like the leaf-shaped hands and small seconds, but it’s also pleasingly up to date in terms of fine design … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Timeless style in a 21st century body – the Rado DiaMaster Petite Seconde appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watches - the best watches at least - do more than tell the time. They transcend their function to evoke an atmosphere or a mood. Tissot’s latest heritage piece, the Petite Seconde, is a quite wonderful example of this. Sure, it’s a 42mm steel piece with a classic manually winding movement, and a pretty classic … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The old world charm of Tissot’s Heritage Petite Seconde appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I’ve had my Mido Ocean Star for over a year and a half and I’ve worn it regularly and frequently since then, which is saying something considering that I’ve got 15-20 watches I cycle through. It’s in earnest and with full confidence then that I recommend this watch.

Editor’s note: While people who collect/amass/hoard watches might find it hard to believe, most people have only one or two good watches, and those watches need to do a whole lot of things beyond tell the time.
