Mike also shares the details on the first watch he wore after the fast! :) And obviously now that the dust has settled, Kaz is thinking of doing a #watchfast as well, but with his fiancee's Casio MDV106... anyone in the #watchfam care to talk him off the ledge?

Editor’s note: One morning at work, around 9:20am, I looked up from my desk and saw a face peering through the front door.

This video series was born out of frustration.

At this stage in the game, bronze watches aren’t anything new; Panerai, Oris and Tudor have all played a role in pushing the patina-friendly metal mainstream. But until now, bronze has been the playground of tool-like dive watches, serious timepieces licked by salt and spray until a fine verdigris of adventure forms on the rugged … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Montblanc pioneers refined patina with the 1858 Chronograph Tachymeter in bronze appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We’ve spent a fair amount of digital ink this week talking about Baume & Mercier’s Clifton collection, and how it’s such a neat link to the Geneva-based brand’s heritage. So we thought it was only appropriate to explore this history, and how they’ve honoured it, in a little more detail. And who better to explore … ContinuedThe post INTERVIEW: Baume & Mercier’s Alexandre Peraldi on the past and present of the Clifton appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

About two months ago, I wrote about the state of wrist affairs in Watches of the Silicon Valley. In the article, we confirmed the unsurprising SV stereotypes with the array of Apple watches and Fitbits. Just go up to the city and you will see the sad state of Union Square watch boutiques. Look down in the peninsula and you won't even see a sensible retailer. Or so I thought.

Editor’s Note: Meteorite dials are nothing new – but we rarely see this exotic dial material on otherwise conservative pieces.
