The story in a second Baume & Mercier’s Clifton always had a pretty face. Well, that face just got complicated. It’s hardly a secret. We like the Clifton at Time+Tide. It’s a well-balanced collection that walks a fine line between dressy and casual, retro and modern, all while being very well priced. Typically, though, these … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: The Baume & Mercier Clifton Complete Calendar Chronograph appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…” and also of this distinctly unexpected white-dialled Panerai we saw unveiled at SIHH right at the beginning of the year. It managed to charm, inveigle and confound the team, whose responses ranged the gamut of eye-based expressions, from a heart-eye emoji all the way up to a slightly squinty suspicion. The fact … ContinuedThe post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 13 – The Panerai PAM 655 Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We often wax lyrical about our love affair with Montblanc’s watches, but we’ve also got a soft spot for their famous writing instruments. We were lucky enough to come face-to-face with a selection of their absolute finest recently. It’s not often these golden, gem-encrusted rockstars of the written word, in their lavish presentation boxes even make it … ContinuedThe post LIST: 4 pens that are considerably mightier than the sword appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

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.

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.

Well, Christian and Evelyn have arrived at their destination and no, it’s not some Bond-villain-esque lair or a high-stakes diamond heist. Instead it’s something far more relatable and no-less stressful – a school reunion. Thankfully Christian’s fear of social inadequacy is unfounded, thanks in no small part to the Portugieser Hand-Wound on his wrist. We’ve had … ContinuedThe post THE PARTY: An IWC microstory – Part 3.
