VIDEO: Like Goldilocks, this Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold Blue is just right
Since its introduction in 2014, Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang collection has quietly been gaining momentum. The tonneau-shaped case sacrifices none of the immediate impact that Hublot is famous for, but shapes it into a more wrist-hugging form. And while the line is - as you’d expect from Hublot - full of options, this smaller, … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Like Goldilocks, this Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold Blue is just right appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Raymond Weil’s latest Freelancer Chronograph looks the business
Raymond Weil’s latest take on their sporty Freelancer Chronograph is – to be blunt – really good-looking. Fundamentally, it’s the same as Freelancer chronos we’ve seen before: 42mm steel case, bulletproof RW500 movement, 12,6,9 subdial layout, day/date and screw-down crown and pushers. It’s a solid piece of kit. What’s new, though, is the colour way.
