EDITOR’S PICK: It all started with a Big Bang! Now Hublot’s hero is a bit smaller

Editor’s note: Hublot’s heart beats to the rhythm of the in-house Unico movement. So it makes sense that their centrepiece collection, the Big Bang - with its heavily open-worked dial - is where the Art of Fusion brand shows it off. This year, they slimmed down the dimensions of their 2010-born Unico HUB 1242 movement, dubbing it … ContinuedThe post EDITOR’S PICK: It all started with a Big Bang!

Swatch Group Quits Baselworld

VIDEO: The heart of Panerai – the new Luminor Marina Logo 3 Days in steel 

The heart of Panerai’s line-up has to be the entry-level Luminor. A 44mm watch with the classic crown guard-equipped Luminor case and not much in the way of frills.

HANDS-ON: Raymond Weil bares all with the Freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton

When Raymond Weil designed the Calibre RW1212, their first ever in-house design (produced by Sellita), I suspect part of the mandate was to show it off, hence the open escapement prominently on display - literally showing off a movement they’re rightfully proud of. Well, Raymond Weil doubled down at Basel 2018, exposing not just the … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Raymond Weil bares all with the Freelancer Calibre RW1212 Skeleton appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Sandblasted – same Octo, completely new look

Bulgari blew us away last year with their Octo Finissimo Automatic – that mind-boggling thinness; the incredible lightness of being at one with its titanium case and bracelet, feeling it drape around the wrist.

And if you think “solid gold bracelet watch” means 1980s-style … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Bulgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Sandblasted – same Octo, completely new look appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
