A three course, thoroughly French menu paired with Premier Cru Burgundy? Tick. A white-gloved waiter per guest? Tick. And a venue that Zelda Fitzgerald would have felt at ease in? Tick.

We’re calling it. Winter is here. We’ve broken out the light knits and switched the office AC from ‘cool’ to ‘heat’.

If there’s one key take away from this year’s new watch releases, it’s that brands are playing it safe, with simple, round, steel watches being the order of the day. But, thankfully for the non-conformists out there, not everyone marches to the beat of the circular drum. Cartier and Jaeger-LeCoultre in particular have long and proud … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Apples to Apples episode 4, Jaeger-LeCoultre vs Cartier – cutting shapes appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

When Bell & Ross launched their Instrument collection in 2005, they achieved what every new watch brand sets out to: they created an icon.

Happy Easter everyone. It’s Good Friday down here in Melbourne, so this edition of the Wind Down will be brief, as the office is closed and I’m penning this between nibbles of hot cross bun and wines in the sun.

The first Bell & Ross I ever laid my hands on, back in 2008, was the Marine, an uncommon and somewhat unusual beast that took the brand’s trademark dial and transplanted it into a large, 1000m water resistant, tonneau-shaped case that looked like it could handle anything short of being run over by a main … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A square peg in a round hole – the Bell & Ross BR 03-92 Diver appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
