OPINION: Regrets, I’ve had a few – how to handle buyer’s remorse
I think we’ve all found ourselves in a similar situation to this before: you wake up, the morning after a big night out and all is seemingly well.

HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept
Few colours have the symbolic weight of black. It’s meaningful in pretty much every culture. It’s associated - naturally enough - with darkness, mourning and solemnity, and with endings and beginnings. It’s also a colour of power and authority.

EDITOR’S PICK: 5 sports luxury watches that deliver on both fronts
Editor’s note: The watch industry is, in general, pretty big on segmentation. According to them, we should be wearing something different for every different activity in our lives.

EDITOR’S PICK: This Laureato is the reason why you should always bet on black
Editor’s note: What is it about an all-black watch that really gets the heart racing? I mean, it’s a neutral colour, like white, silver, or grey, yet just by adding a heavy dose of toner, an entire watch can be transformed. Case (and dial, and strap) in point, the black ceramic Girard-Perregaux Laureato 42mm. A luxury … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: This Laureato is the reason why you should always bet on black appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: The stories we tell – 5 dinner party watch anecdotes
Watches. Turns out they’re not (just) for telling the time. As horology’s true believers (that is, you lot) will no doubt be aware, watches are more than mere objects.
