Fine watchmaking manages to neatly intersect all these areas, informing and being informed by them. On a day-to-day level though, it’s easy to miss the linkages, … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 4th August, 2017 – the fashion edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

In Conversation with Christine Hutter, CEO of Moritz Grossmann
Christine Hutter is the rare female CEO in the male-dominated watch industry who started as a watchmaker and then founded her own company.

HANDS-ON: JLC’s mean machine - the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic, now in black and pink gold
