INTRODUCING: The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms ‘Nageurs de Combat’

Like it or not, the origin story of Blancpain’s famous diver is inseparable from that of naval warfare.

Why are Swiss watches considered the best?

Why are Swiss watches considered the best?

This is something we get asked a lot. And not just by newcomers to the industry. To some minds, it instantly sticks out like a sore thumb that the Swiss products are regarded as sacrosanct and that the wares of all other nations should fall in line behind the masters. But to others, it just … ContinuedThe post Why are Swiss watches considered the best? appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

They don’t come much brighter than the Hublot Big Bang Red Magic

Editor’s note: In the watch world we like to talk about trends. But the trends we’re talking about are pretty macro - after all, we’re talking a five-year production cycle, not five weeks. Fast fashion, watches are not. Having said that, one of the more prevalent trends is colour. Big, bold watches that stand out … ContinuedThe post They don’t come much brighter than the Hublot Big Bang Red Magic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

This Bulgari is the anti-gold gold watch

Editor’s note: It’s slender, but it weighs a lot. It’s gold, but it doesn’t look like it. I just can’t get the Bulgari Octo Finissimo in rose gold out of my head.

Editor’s note: We could always tell by the way the Omega Seamaster Railmaster ‘Blue Denim’ used its walk that it walked a fine line between a strong look and something else.
