VIDEO: Unleash the beast – Grand Seiko’s Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m diver
Grand Seiko is known for many things: mirror-like finishes, incredibly crisp casework and a design style that veers from conservative to downright quirky. But this is not a brand that springs to mind when you think of professional-grade dive watches. Until now. At Basel this year Grand Seiko released this mighty beast that we (in … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Unleash the beast – Grand Seiko’s Hi-Beat 36000 Professional 600m diver appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 1st September, 2017 – the ‘Gaga-gate’ edition
Today is less of a wind down and more of a recovery. Last night we hosted a small gathering of some of our favourite watch lovers. Drinks were had, canapés were consumed, watches were ogled, fondled and ‘grammed, and new friends were found. Thanks to everyone who came! But that was last night.

INSIGHT: 2 takes on the Rolex Sky-Dweller from people who bought it
Reviewing watches like the Sky-Dweller is all well and good, but we’re (usually) quite detached about it. So we decided to find the opinions of people who had handed over their own hard-earned for the Sky-Dweller and asked them for their far less impartial take. Ashley’s perspective First we spoke to Ashley, a Sydney-based collector who’s … ContinuedThe post INSIGHT: 2 takes on the Rolex Sky-Dweller from people who bought it appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Anyone that’s been touched by motor neurone disease, in any way, is likely to want to help the world find a cure. It’s a brutal and dehumanising disease.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 18th August, 2017 – the watches you chose for the end of the world, inc. Seiko, Rolex, UTS and Citizen
Like many story ideas we brainstorm together on a Monday morning, ‘end-of-the-world watches’ seemed to be a winner at the time.

HANDS-ON: When your hands are tied, consensually – Bulgari Serpenti Skin collection
Ancient Greek and Roman mythology furnish Bulgari with emblems from across the epochs, but their love affair with bold women in history also holds sway on their aesthetic.

Fittingly, their latest Serpenti watch is a timepiece that can literally shed … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: When your hands are tied, consensually – Bulgari Serpenti Skin collection appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

In our experience, if you’re into intricately constructed, high-performance machines, it doesn’t really matter if they’re intended for the road or your wrist.

Bear with me this week as I go a little off script. This week’s Wind Down is less about watches and more about all the stuff around them. Fashion. Technology. Business.
