HANDS-ON: Big-hearted – the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase Time+Tide

HANDS-ON: Big-hearted – the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase

Few things are as tactile and pleasing as manually winding a watch, and I’ve got to say the levels of satisfaction achieved in watching the power reserve indicator on this plus-sized IWC Portofino are pretty intense. On one level it’s because there’s a lot of winding to be had, thanks to the eight days of … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Big-hearted – the IWC Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON:  Blue moon rising – Raymond Weil’s Maestro Moon Phase 

Call me a romantic, but the moon phase complication is amongst my favourites. Paradoxically, it’s also amongst the least functional - tracking the waxing and waning of our most significant satellite isn’t something that’s high on my list of life priorities. And when the topic does come up, I can, you know, look at the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON:  Blue moon rising – Raymond Weil’s Maestro Moon Phase  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: IWC’s Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase Edition “150 Years”

For over 30 years the Portofino has been amongst IWC’s dressiest offerings, with a rounded Lépine-inspired case, and elegant, elongated Roman numerals. So it comes as no surprise that the line has a prominent place in IWC’s 150th anniversary collection. And while there’s simpler offerings, such as the Automatic and the Chronograph, our eyes (and … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: IWC’s Portofino Hand-Wound Moon Phase Edition “150 Years” appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Exceptionally classic – the Drive de Cartier Extra Flat

Editor’s note: We’re very much on the record as being proud members of team Drive, so it was with real excitement that we had a look at the new models shown off at SIHH at the start of this year. And while the Moon Phases probably has the edge in terms of everyday wearability, when it … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Exceptionally classic – the Drive de Cartier Extra Flat appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Rolex Cellini Moonphase – what it is and why it matters

While the current Rolex Cellini collection will never have the same mass appeal or cool cachet as their ever-popular steel sports models, I think this chic and refined collection is just as important and emblematic to the Big Crown. When they revamped the line in 2014, I was quite taken – with their fluted bezels, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Rolex Cellini Moonphase – what it is and why it matters appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Masculinity meets romance in the Drive de Cartier Moon Phases

In our recently published interview, Arnaud Carrez, Cartier’s Head of Marketing and Communications, said that the Drive represents a different kind of masculinity, one that isn’t defined by “muscles, sport, achievement, performance”, but by “elegance, and style, and refinement.” Looking at the Drive de Cartier Moon Phases, you can see what he means. It’s a confident watch … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Masculinity meets romance in the Drive de Cartier Moon Phases appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Stars Manufacture 


Even here in Australia – relatively under-populated and enormous as it is – you need to venture out to the country to get a proper look at the stars. There’s really no ignoring the stubborn corporate buildings and incessant traffic  that means our cities and towns are constantly bathed in urban glow. So how do … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Frederique Constant Slimline Moonphase Stars Manufacture

    Moonphase is nice, but also impractical. You look at dial, not moon in sky. Still, classical Patek and Lange pieces have soul that modern watches sometimes miss.
