When we think of Grand Seiko, it’s easy to associate them with classic but slightly left-of-centre designs: architectural case lines and instantly recognisable designs. Which is why this watch was such a surprise when we first saw it - it’s a deeply traditional dress watch design. A simple round case, in yellow gold no less … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Grand Seiko re-creation in yellow gold (ref. SBGW252) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I’ve been a big fan of Hublot’s Meccano-inspired Meca-10 ever since I saw it in the metal. For me it manages to be super new and exciting for Hublot, yet also 100 per cent on brand. At the heart of this watch (and its appeal) is the movement. The HUB1201 is a big old manual … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Halo effect - the Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 in King Gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

An important part of the process when reviewing a watch is imagining who the watch is for. Sometimes this perceived wearer can be quite general: “someone who wants a nice dive watch”. Or it can be a little more specific: “a 35-year-old frequent flyer who wants to make a subtle statement with their wrist”.

Just one look at their anchor-shaped logo should be a clue to the centuries old maritime heritage of Ulysse Nardin.

One of my main gripes with the watch industry in general is that it’s an overwhelmingly Serious Business. Tradition. Precision. Luxury. Attributes that are easily capable of erasing the merest hint of fun. Thankfully, there are a few brands out there capable of injecting some playfulness into their watches.

I can honestly think of few watch/car matches more perfect than that of Hublot and Ferrari. The two occupy similar positions in their respective ecosystems: big, bold, and yes, even brash - but also instantly recognisable and intensely coveted.

This Jaeger-LeCoultre is a great example of just how true the old saying about assumptions is.

When I first saw the new gold Daytonas at Basel, I didn’t quite know what to make of them.

Throw the word ‘Hublot’ into conversation, and all too often the topic can find itself steered down a path toward a couple of broad stereotypes. You know what we’re talking about.

Gold. It’s the original precious metal – with a lustre that has shone unabated for millennia. Gold is the universal symbol of success, power, status and, obviously, wealth.
