EDITOR’S PICK: 6 months on, and does Felix still stand by his top 10 watches of 2017?
Editor’s note: Late last year I hung out with Andrew and some strangely undrunk drinks on a hot rooftop bar and rolled through my favourite watches of 2017.

LIST: 3 watches perfect for the Pitti Uomo Peacock, and 2 that will work in the real world
This week our feeds have been blowing up with all the hot new lewks from Florence as the #menswear and #influencer brigade descended for Pitti Immagine Uomo 94 - a trade show that seems, from the outside at least, to be more about lounging around faux-casually, in immaculate, over-the-top outfits.

OPINION: The “McQueen” Submariner: What we really know, what we don’t, and what actually matters
By now, you’ve seen the news everywhere. Phillips auctions touting their upcoming sale with headlines like “Phillips to Sell Steve McQueen’s Rolex Submariner”, and lines that read as “a historically important and previously unknown Rolex Submariner owned and worn by Steve McQueen.” (copied directly from the Phillips Auctions website at time of writing).

LIST: Out of the closet and onto the wrist – 6 of the best skeleton watches
Skeletonised watches - where the solid dial, and in some cases the entire movement, has been pared down and stripped away to leave the bare bones of the architecture - can be something of an acquired taste. And, as with all watches, the look can vary greatly, from ultra traditional to modern, depending on the execution. … ContinuedThe post LIST: Out of the closet and onto the wrist – 6 of the best skeleton watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: I ditched my mechanical watch for the Apple Watch Series 3 Edition, and this is what I discovered
Late last year, one of the more surprising (and contentious) inclusions in my “best watches of 2017” list was the Apple Watch Series 3. For me, the addition of cellular functionality made the already formidable smart watch that much more intimidating - and appealing. So, as you can imagine, I was keen to get my hands … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: I ditched my mechanical watch for the Apple Watch Series 3 Edition, and this is what I discovered appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

OPINION: Is this the most important (and overlooked) element in watch design?
Case profile. There, I said it. It might not be as sexy as the movement or the dial, but in terms of real-world user-friendliness, it’s the kingmaker or deal-breaker. The problem is, watchmakers and fans are conditioned to a very top-down visual approach of watches. Look at any brand’s site, or most of the watches … ContinuedThe post OPINION: Is this the most important (and overlooked) element in watch design? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
