A little while ago, I had a very good day at work. That’s because my job involved spending some quality time with three exceptional Vacheron Constantin watches, which just happened to be in Melbourne. The first was the Patrimony Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin - a very classic (and slender) execution. Then there was the gorgeous Traditionnelle … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Up close and personal with 3 very complicated Vacheron Constantin watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Prospex is Seiko-speak for “Professional Specification”, a family of professionally oriented tool-watches that was born in 1968 and built to last.

INTRODUCING: The Panerai Submersible Bronzo PAM00968 - Bronze is back and it’s no a longer limited edition

Perhaps Panerai’s most collectible modern-day watch, the original Bronzo, is credited with kick-starting today’s bronze watch craze.

So, this exists. Look, I write about high-end mechanical watches on the daily, so I’ve got a pretty high threshold for the superfluous things in life, but this is just ridiculous.  A company called Caviar (of course they’re called Caviar) has revolutionised the world of both watchmaking and iPhones by releasing (and I quote): “the … ContinuedThe post NEWS: Peak ridiculousness achieved with the unholy fusion of iPhone and tourbillon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
