INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool
We don’t talk much about quartz here at Time+Tide, and that’s usually for a good reason. Most quartz watches are pretty boring. There are, however, some exceptional quartz technologies out there, and the just-announced Longines Conquest VHP is a great example of this. VHP stands for Very High Precision and it is, believe it or … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Piaget 2017 collection overview proves thin is still in
Piaget‘s pioneering Altiplano has been impressing since 1957, and given that watch brands love nothing more than an anniversary, we were expecting plenty of that barely-there silhouette in the collection at SIHH. And that’s fair enough, when you consider that, 60 years on, mechanical watches still don’t come any slimmer than the Altiplano. Even so, we weren’t quite prepared for just … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Piaget 2017 collection overview proves thin is still in appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

While the watches at SIHH change every year, one thing stays reassuringly the same, and that is the drama surrounding them. Sometimes it’s big, like the deregulation of the Swiss Franc.
