Rado isn’t a brand that you typically think of when you think about ‘heritage’. On the one hand this makes perfect sense, as the brand is best known for their decidedly modern materials and avant-garde designs. But on the other, Rado has been around for a while (since 1917), and has a host of great … ContinuedThe post LIST: Looking back at Rado’s heritage highlights appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the Aquaracer. To my mind, it’s something of an unsung hero in TAG Heuer’s chronograph-heavy line-up. But the modern diver looks the business and, in a water-loving country like Australia, makes sense. It’s also quite a youthful feeling watch, which makes a nice changeup from … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
