It’s both reassuring and alarming to discover that H. Moser & Cie. CEO Edouard Meylan is a human version of his brand’s watches: he is stylish, sophisticated, smart (more on that later) and in possession of a sense of humour that is never too far from the surface. He’s also refreshingly direct and far from complacent about the … ContinuedThe post HOW TO: Make your watch brand go viral, a marketing masterclass by Moser appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

So we got in … ContinuedThe post WHY I WEAR: Breguet – Glenn and his Tradition GMT appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Anyone that’s been to Basel will know what we’re talking about when we reference the ‘Basel bubble’.

The official opening last night of the newly redesigned TAG Heuer Sydney flagship drew quite a crowd – far beyond the usual cluster of beautiful people who attend this kind of shindig.

Gold. It’s the original precious metal – with a lustre that has shone unabated for millennia. Gold is the universal symbol of success, power, status and, obviously, wealth. These markers, while making it such a desirable material, can also make it tricky to wear, especially if you’d rather not look like a Boxster-driving-try-hard. On top … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: How to wear a gold watch, with Cartier and Chris Edwards appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Franck Muller was at a point in time an interesting brand to read about, for its innovative case shapes and unique complications; to name a few, the Crazy Hours, Secret Hours and the Giga tourbillon. While they are still popular in some markets today, most would say that the days of its fame are over. Diluted grey market prices and competition from brands like Richard Mille have largely eroded its past stature.

Montblanc is definitely riding the high wind with its new line up. They are challenging prices within the industry and are indeed making the news. Like with this ultra slim, we thought it was executed exceedingly well and serves its intended purpose. The only qualm that we have with it, is its uncanny similarity to Jaeger LeCoultre's Master Compressor collection.

The pink gold watch on his wrist seemed almost out of place – to me, it did not suit him. The man was Roger Zarzoso, […]

When I wrote the story last week of H. Moser & Cie’s upcoming new Smart Watch, I did not know what to expect. Today, pictures have been released, and even a tongue in cheek video to explain that the Smart Watch in question, is no Smart Watch of the electronic variety. Instead we have an […]
