IN-DEPTH: The Raymond Weil Freelancer Chronograph
The story in a second: A value-packed chrono from one of the few remaining family-owned watch companies. It wasn’t all doom and gloom during the quartz crisis of the mid ’70s.

VIDEO: The top 9 new women’s watches from SIHH
If I’m completely honest, women’s watches aren’t my speciality, largely because they tend (notable exceptions aside) not to look the greatest on my fairly hairy 21cm wrist. But luckily - and thankfully - Sandra Lane is on the team. So rather than flounder my way through the intricacies of stone-setting and satin straps, I defer … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The top 9 new women’s watches from SIHH appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s a dizzying pace the watch world moves at, and it’s all but impossible for us at Time+Tide to not get carried along by it.

IN-DEPTH: The Omega Seamaster Railmaster
The story in a second: Behind the ultra-hyped trilogy models lays this cool, calm and not-in-any-way limited take on the Railmaster. Odd as it may seem today, but many of the enduring designs of mid-twentieth century watchmaking sprang from a very specific purpose: scientific exploration and the quest for accuracy.

If you know a little bit about how the world of watches works, you’ll likely know that it’s a space dominated by a few big groups (namely Richemont, Swatch and LVMH), each with their own stable of brands.

TAG Heuer have, much like Marty McFly and Doc Brown, gone back to the future with their latest partnership, with Gulf Oil International. If you’re not familiar with the world of historic Heuer, the pairing of the Swiss watchmaker and venerable oil company is perhaps surprising, but one larger-than-life character pulls it all together: Steve … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The TAG Heuer Monaco Gulf 2018 special edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

First shown at Baselworld 2017, the stunner that is the Breguet Reine de Naples 8918 in rose gold is my pick of Breguet’s women’s offerings (in Australia) at the moment. Breguet is all proportion, horological order and watchmaking museum elegance.

INTRODUCING: Bremont returns to the deep with new Supermarine S501 and updated S500 models
The Bremont Supermarine, first released in 2009, has long been a serious dive watch, and one that stood out from the rest of the submersible pack. Last year, Bremont released the S300, a smaller, more civilian-friendly take on the genre that was, unsurprisingly, wildly popular.
