The story in a second: It’s big. It’s red. It’s Hublot. Red is a colour with some pretty specific cultural meaning - danger, passion, excitement and love.

Underappreciated, and painfully under-marketed anywhere outside of Europe, they are one of VERY few brands that manufacture their own dials … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Glashütte Original Senator Cosmopolite in Steel – a study in complex elegance appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If you take the term ‘game changer’ at its most literal, it is a development, a breakthrough that changes the game. No matter how you interpret the term, it’s a big call.

A little while ago Seiko lifted the lid on a tasty trio of dive watches with a marine conservation theme: a turtle, a samurai and a solar chronograph.

As someone whose love of watches is focused entirely on mechanisms powered by springs, the word quartz normally evokes the immediate cry of “Next!” So when I stop and spend time with a quartz watch, it must be a bit special.

There’s a lot of options in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Polaris collection. But I think this one might be my favourite, the Polaris Date. It’s a choice purists might find a little weird.
