LIST: From simple to surprising and complex - our 3 Patek Philippe picks from Basel 2019
Let’s face it, the fair has been a bit of a mixed bag. There’s been a range of good, bad, and downright ugly watches lurking in these halls. I never expect to walk in the door and love everything, but as with most years I’ve certainly found a few odds and ends that grabbed my … ContinuedThe post LIST: From simple to surprising and complex - our 3 Patek Philippe picks from Basel 2019 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

NEWS: Peak ridiculousness achieved with the unholy fusion of iPhone and tourbillon
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.

Farer Split-Second Flyback Quartz Chronograph Watches
This week Farer announced the release of their Ainsdale and Pendine Split-Second Flyback Quartz Chronograph watches. Now, "split-second" and "flyback" aren't usually terms you'll see here on TBWS but because these are quartz watches, the value proposition is actually quite compelling.

LIST: 6 things I want (and hope) to see at Baselworld 2019
I don’t want to sound too hyperbolic, but Baselworld 2019 will be make or break. The once grand fair has been navigating turbulent waters for a while now, and last year’s mass exodus by Swatch Group brands ripped a hole in the hull that almost sunk it. This year’s fair will be smaller again, and … ContinuedThe post LIST: 6 things I want (and hope) to see at Baselworld 2019 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Flower and the Lady 8 Petite
Back in the 18th century, Pierre Jaquet-Droz wowed the courts of Europe with his Automates – three humanoid dolls, about one-third life-sized, that could variously write, draw and play music with uncannily lifelike gestures. Intended to promote his clocks and watches, and powered by scaled-up versions of mechanical watch movements, they were a stroke of … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Jaquet Droz Lady 8 Flower and the Lady 8 Petite appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Pancor Watch P02 Review and My Kickstarter Buying Experience
I found the Pancor Watches P02 and I fell in love with it. This watch called to me for a three reasons: (1) It had a hi-beat movement. All of the watches I had experienced up to this point were 21.6k beats per hour, and I yearned for a smoother sweep; (2) it was black PVD and I thought that was awesome; (3) And the power reserve reminded me of that elusive Tudor North Flag.
