VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic
Blancpain’s Bathyscaphe is one of those rare, chameleonic watch designs. A watch that, broadly speaking, owes great fidelity to its primogenitor, but a watch that doesn’t look dated. It’s a neutral watch - something that gives the Bathyscaphe broad appeal and great versatility. In steel, it’s a classic, traditional dive watch, but here, in black … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: An ideal daily diver, the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe in black ceramic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

EDITOR’S PICK: Can TAG Heuer’s affordable tourbillon match it with the big dogs?
Editor’s note: An affordable Swiss-made tourbillon. Words like that were once considered something of an oxymoron. That all changed, however, when in 2016, TAG Heuer’s Carrera Heuer-02T came along, causing something of a stir amongst the watchmaking elite. Well, with this year’s release of the chronometer grade TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Tête de Vipère, those shock … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: Can TAG Heuer’s affordable tourbillon match it with the big dogs? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The idea of a ‘birth year’ watch is nothing new, though after a recent discussion I came to realise that it poses an interesting question.

MAEN Watches Hudson Review: Incredible or Meh
Microbrands - everyone's starting one. It's what's in, kids! With all this microbrand saturation it's difficult to create a microbrand piece these days that actually has impact. One watch could look like any other watch from another brand if the "designers" aren't careful. That's why it's important for microbrands to have a design element built into the piece that's more than just the name on the dial.
