It’s worth saying because if you’re anything like me, you spend far more time looking at watches on screens than in real life. That’s fine, it’s an unavoidable by-product of our modern world. And while some watches look exceptional in pictures, others (I … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The Raymond Weil Freelancer Calibre RW1212 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Around this time of the year I’m prone to a bit of the old ‘best watch’ game – running through my favourite releases in a particular brand or category.
