HANDS-ON: The Baume & Mercier Clifton Perpetual Calendar raises the bar
Baume & Mercier are known for their value-focused take on traditional watchmaking. Their Clifton and Capeland collections epitomise this approach, offering versatile style at a price that won’t break the bank. Of course, this means some concessions must be made: Cases are usually steel, and complications are of the more down-to-earth variety. But just because this sort … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Baume & Mercier Clifton Perpetual Calendar raises the bar appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 12 – The Bulgari Octo Ultra Nero
Much like Elf, the unofficial best Christmas movie of all time, the Octo has a cult following – though to be honest, that’s where the similarities begin and end. Still, we reckon this status is only going to grow stronger with the release of the blacked-out Ultra Nero. This striking piece commands attention from the wrist, with … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 12 – The Bulgari Octo Ultra Nero appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 11 – The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum
The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum is a classic worldtime complication, with an outer dial dominated by an inner ring of key global cities and an outer ring displaying 24-hour time. While it looks complicated it’s surprisingly intuitive, and all the more bold in the 4810 case, as opposed to the svelte Heritage Spirit model that we … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 11 – The Montblanc 4810 Orbis Terrarum appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
