Special guests Terry from ToxicNATOs joins the Two Broke Watch Snobs to celebrate the TBWS One Year Anniversary! Unscripted watch talk, ballbusting, and horological shenanigans abounds as the group sits down to reminisce on the TBWS and how ToxicNATOs have evolved over the past year. Also be warned, unscripted means unscripted and today's episode gets pretty down, dirty, and non-PC. Brace your shit, #watchfam.

Mike and Kaz talk shop with some of the early Baselworld 2017 releases that've been coming out... surprisingly they're quite excited about a few of them! In particular Kaz is super into the new rederique Constant Flyback Chronograph Manufacture - so much so that he even chokes on his thin mints (you heard me). On the flip side, the newest Rolex Sea-Dweller has the snobs perplexed as hell.

We don’t talk much about quartz here at Time+Tide, and that’s usually for a good reason. Most quartz watches are pretty boring. There are, however, some exceptional quartz technologies out there, and the just-announced Longines Conquest VHP is a great example of this. VHP stands for Very High Precision and it is, believe it or … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.
