The buzzword is ‘pivot’. And at this year’s first major watch fair, SIHH in Geneva in January, IWC ‘pivoted’ in a big way with just about everything they did. The booth was fitted out to emulate a vast Florentine dome, the watches were Engineered for Women and, rather than safe sport-watch territory, the controls were very much … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: IWC 2017 collection overview and our 4 favourites appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

OPINION: Why the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is a modern feminist watch

For much of the industry, the motto when it comes to designing watches for women appears to be: “Make it sparkle so brightly they won’t notice there’s a battery inside.” Happily, that’s not the case here, because the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is one of an all-too-rare breed: a ladies’ watch that’s impressive both as a … ContinuedThe post OPINION: Why the Oris Artelier Skeleton Diamonds is a modern feminist watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

For many consumers and manufacturers, now is not the time for extravagant, outlandish watches.
