Last week, I was in the mountain town of Jackson, Wyoming with Montblanc. And while I’ll have to wait until SIHH 2018 to share most of the watches I’ve seen with you (totally worth it, by the way), I did spot one smooth new variation of this year’s sporty TimeWalker Chronograph that I can tell you … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Montblanc TimeWalker Chronograph in red gold with brown dial appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: The purity of the Grand Seiko Spring Drive Snowflake
One of Grand Seiko’s most in-demand and instantly identifiable watches is the Snowflake, AKA the SBGA211. For many, this pure, and deceptively simple, watch epitomises the high-end Japanese maker, and it certainly exhibits all the Grand Seiko hallmarks: exceptional casework, precise finishing techniques, and those glimmering hands and hour markers. And then, of course, there’s … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The purity of the Grand Seiko Spring Drive Snowflake appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watching the Detectives
In June 2017, Hatton Garden watch dealer Nadeem Malick was sentenced to 18 months in jail for selling £1.2 million-worth of watches stolen during smash-and-grabs, burglaries, robberies and frauds to two specialist pre-owned watch dealers. With luxury watches at increasing risk from theft, and the business of selling stolen watches on the rise, Revolution asked two detectives from New Scotland Yard’s Flying Squad for their advice on protecting your timepieces.

HANDS-ON: Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Franck Muller goes green and gold with limited-edition Vanguard for Australia
One of my main gripes with the watch industry in general is that it’s an overwhelmingly Serious Business. Tradition. Precision. Luxury.

EVENT: 3 reasons to visit the Heuer Globetrotter exhibition, now showing at TAG Heuer Westfield, Sydney
