INTRODUCING: A racy traveller – the Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph UTC

In recent years, we’ve witnessed Montblanc – who acquired Minerva back in 2006 – embrace the storied bygone days of its Villeret movement manufacturer. They’ve developed innovative complications, and paid tribute with dressy heritage-style timepieces. And this year they’ve revamped their modern TimeWalker collection, keeping the contemporary styling, while paying tribute to the illustrious motorsport … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: A racy traveller – the Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph UTC appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Enamel excellence - the Seiko Presage SPB049J

Seiko drop a LOT of watches at Basel. It’s like a candy store, with everything from super-hot limited editions, to Prospex, to Presage. All there in front of you. And I’m sure I only see a fraction of what’s on offer. It can be overwhelming. But even so, a few watches stand out, and they’re … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Enamel excellence - the Seiko Presage SPB049J appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Pretty Big Bang – 6 Hublot watches perfect for women

“Girls just want watches that look pretty.” So we are told. Of course, most of us want things that look good (and, ah, don’t men want good-looking stuff too?). But “just” pretty? Please. The watch industry has patronised us with that old cliché for too long. For many of us girls, a fashion watch is … ContinuedThe post LIST: Pretty Big Bang – 6 Hublot watches perfect for women appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

MY WEEK WITH: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph

A few weeks ago I had the distinct honour and pleasure of spending some time with Montblanc (and 50 or so other watch journalists) in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Now, prior to booking flights I had a decidedly foggy understanding of where Jackson Hole was and what it was all about (not coastal, mountains). And while … ContinuedThe post MY WEEK WITH: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Rolex Sea-Dweller (ref. 126600)

In the weeks leading up to Baselworld 2017, the speculation as to what Rolex would be releasing was rife. With astute watch collectors quickly pointing out that 2017 marked 50 years of the Rolex Sea-Dweller, the community braced for an anniversary edition. We all know - and love - that Rolex celebrates iconic anniversaries, and more often … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Rolex Sea-Dweller (ref. 126600) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Fundamentally, there’s not a whole lot of variation in watch movements. Sure, the peripheral details might vary, but basically you’re either looking at a purely mechancial movement, with a mainspring and escapement setup that’s remained pretty much unchanged for the last few hundred years, or you’re looking at a battery-powered quartz watch that’s come to … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Grand Seiko’s Spring Drive technology explained … in 2 minutes appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: The Raymond Weil Freelancer Calibre RW1212

It’s patently obvious, but it still bears repeating: watches are three-dimensional objects. 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.

Raymond Weil, one of the few independent, family-owned operations in the Swiss watch industry, marked their 40th birthday this year.

Last week, I was in the mountain town of Jackson, Wyoming with Montblanc.

The story in a second:  Two-tone is back, baby! Steel and gold watches have been around for years. Hitting peak popularity around 30 years ago, they were the epitome of ’80s style, but, then again, so were pastel polos with double popped collars. However, while the mix of these two metals has been used by … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay S&G; appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watching the Detectives

In June 2017, Hatton Garden watch dealer Nadeem Malick was sentenced to 18 months in jail for selling £1.2 million-worth of watches stolen during smash-and-grabs, burglaries, robberies and frauds to two specialist pre-owned watch dealers. With luxury watches at increasing risk from theft, and the business of selling stolen watches on the rise, Revolution asked two detectives from New Scotland Yard’s Flying Squad for their advice on protecting your timepieces.

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. And typically it’s a pretty clear-cut decision for me. Not so with Tudor’s 2017 collection. I’ve found myself going back and forth over two watches pretty … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: All that glitters – the Tudor Heritage Black Bay S&G; appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
