Would you believe I’m winding down alone, in a Sydney hotel room, looking out over an exceptionally dreary parking lot? It would be sad if not for the fact that in a few short hours I’m going to be hanging with some of Australia’s finest watch nerds and some of Switzerland’s finest watches at a … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 9th June, 2017 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We don’t talk much about quartz here at Time+Tide, and that’s usually for a good reason. Most quartz watches are pretty boring. There are, however, some exceptional quartz technologies out there, and the just-announced Longines Conquest VHP is a great example of this. VHP stands for Very High Precision and it is, believe it or … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We grow up surrounded by myths and misconceptions but, believe it or not, bulls are not angered by red, bats are not blind and you can swallow chewing gum without it strangling your internal organs. Watchmaking has its own stories, one of the most enduring being that women do not buy high-end mechanical wristwatches for themselves. Who better to bust the myth than Richard Mille himself?

That’s right folks, we’re at it again, clawing our way through our top choices with an ever-ballooning budget, and believe it or not, this was our toughest category yet. The $3000 to $4000 category seems to have run a little thin for 2016, but we’ve still been able to round out a healthy assortment of picks that … ContinuedThe post LIST: The 7 best watches of 2016 – $3000 to $4000 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

With all the recent vintage chatter on our site, this was inevitable. You may be the sort to draw the line at using a 40-year-old Tudor “Snowflake” Submariner to go diving, but at Revolution we believe that you should allow a watch to live a little.

[su_vimeo url=”https://vimeo.com/182642631″] There are persistent rumours in the watch industry that Montblanc CEO (we almost wrote ‘new’ Montblanc CEO there, but it’s been three years believe it or not!)

There’s only one … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Blindsiding the Montblanc CEO with an impossible task (that he owned), Part 1 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

There was a time when the American watch industry was a fierce compeditor of the Swiss. Some believe this is once again the case, although now the Americans are armed with the Apple Watch. Personally, I think that for some, the Apple Watch might be an “add on” to their collection, but I am not […]

Would you believe that watches have souls of their own? Renowned watchmakers all over the world take pride in hand-made components, spending precious time on making only the most sincere pieces crafted from their fingertips. One fine Friday morning, reputable Swiss watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis generously hosted a watch craft making session in demonstrating the true […]

Good things can come in smaller sizes, and in case that you didn’t believe this yet, then there is IWC to prove it! They just introduced a whole collection of smaller sized watches within their Portofino-line. How small? 37mm in diameter. Indeed 3mm smaller than the 40mm Portofino automatic (ref.3565). Does 3mm make such a […]

I do believe things happen for a reason – that a higher order has things aligned and that coincidences as we know are written in the stars. Who would have thought that in my recent trip to Switzerland, I discovered how small this world is. I was in the picturesque Switzerland recently on aRead More

It’s hard to believe that the UR-103 was released over 10 years ago. Yes - for those of you still mired in denial about how terrifyingly fast the last decade has gone by - it was 2003 when we first saw the shield-shaped watch with four conical hour satellites. As a testament to how forward-looking […]

Omega has a very strong and confident belief that brand boutiques provide added value for their customers, and are perfect to communicate the brands core values and expertise. Their dedication to this retail strategy becomes clear from their rapidly expanding number of boutiques. Since the end of 2013 four new boutiques have been opened, boasting […]

Given the exceptional desirability and rarity of complicated watches by Patek Philippe it’s reasonable for collectors and connoisseurs to think there are few if any surprises left in the field, but that belief was overturned by the presentation by Christie’s, for its June 11th auction, of a timepiece that had until the auction never before […]

I own a handful of real watches. When I say real, what I mean is luxury timepieces; and while a massive watch safe isn’t something that might fit my budget or collection (I don’t own that many watches worth that kind of protection), I believe that there are watch aficionados (like my boss, Wei) with […]

First post in the new year and let’s not start as usually, with an article about watches. Believe me there will be loads of ‘watch’ news in two weeks from now and there after.

My interview with Hamdi Chatti, the vice president of Louis Vuitton Watches, was one of the most interesting of the 2012 Basel fair.
