VIDEO: Holding the last watch that walked on the moon in your hand (and quietly freaking out)

Nothing hints at the story of a watch more than its imperfections. A thick scratch across the crystal. Could that have been a motorbike accident? A near miss with a switchblade? A ding in the otherwise smooth shoulder of the lugs. Something mundane like an errant car door, or seatbelt buckle on a plane? A … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Holding the last watch that walked on the moon in your hand (and quietly freaking out) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943

It would be easy to dismiss the Luminor Due - Panerai’s latest fully fledged line - as a collection oriented towards women. After all, it’s the collection that houses 38 and 42mm watches. But the fact that I am on record as being more than a little partial to the 42mm model aside, there are … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronometer – streamlined and launched in luxury

In my eyes there’s no better backdrop than the French Riviera to launch a luxury dive watch. And it seems Ulysse Nardin think so too, unveiling four new iterations of their Diver Chronometer amongst the glamour and affluence at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Plotting a cleaner bearing for the collection with a host of … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronometer – streamlined and launched in luxury appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The Omega Speedy Tuesday and the Reseller’s Conundrum

Omega was highly successful in what is essentially the luxury watch industry's first foray into timed sales on a new direct to customer channel. For those who may have missed out on the not so new news, the Speedy Tuesday limited edition alludes to the first time the Omega Speedmaster was given its own trending hashtag #SpeedyTuesday which first came about in 2012, and explains the limited edition of 2012 pieces.

LIST: 5 utterly useless complications and why we love them

The most straightforward definition of the word complication is “a difficulty”. But not to state the obvious, nothing is simple about being complicated. And as watchmakers and watch lovers know, when it comes to watches and their complications, there’s far more than just their difficulty of design and manufacture to appreciate. These added intricacies built … ContinuedThe post LIST: 5 utterly useless complications and why we love them appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Pop a cork and celebrate – the Tudor Black Bay S&G; now comes with a champagne dial

Last year’s release of the Black Bay S&G; was something of a slow burn. In the heat of the initial announcements, all eyes were on the impressive Black Bay Chrono.

HANDS-ON: A classic in its purest form – the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 with white and black dials

One of the real hits from Rolex’s 2015 collection was the (now discontinued) Oyster Perpetual 39 (ref. 114300), a bare bones, simple steel timepiece that was still pure Rolex. Initially offered in a range of youthful, colourful dials, this year the Oyster Perpetual family expanded to include white and black dial variants, and they are, … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A classic in its purest form – the Rolex Oyster Perpetual 39 with white and black dials appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: “I’m in a back street in Havana and a watchmaker says you should look at this…” – Adam and his Longines Cuervo Y Sobrinos

When someone’s watch story starts in the backstreets of Havana, you know it’s going to be good. In fact, it would be a good story, even if the watch itself didn’t match up to the tale.

There are few things I love more than a watch that surprises me. It’s something that doesn’t happen near enough for my liking, but it happened with this Longines.

What do whales, chronographs and solar charging have in common? And no, I’m not talking about a hypothetical scheme involving Elon Musk, and the launching of an around the world race, with solar-powered propellers attached to specially trained whales.
