VIDEO: TAG Heuer joins the bronze brigade with the Autavia
Bronze - that gold-toned alloy that only gets better with age - has continued its domination of the watch world, and the latest brand to be converted is TAG Heuer, who this week released two bronze versions of their brand new three-handed Autavia. Structurally, it’s the same as the steel Autavias - 42mm across, powered by … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: TAG Heuer joins the bronze brigade with the Autavia appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Seiko has just announced the Prospex LX collection – these are the watches and what you need to know about them
Prospex is Seiko-speak for “Professional Specification”, a family of professionally oriented tool-watches that was born in 1968 and built to last. And, Seiko being Seiko, that build quality is legendary. As such, these watches have attracted a cult following, in both the actual and desk-diving fraternities. Now, at their press conference at Baselworld 2019, Seiko … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Seiko has just announced the Prospex LX collection – these are the watches and what you need to know about them appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

NEWS: Peak ridiculousness achieved with the unholy fusion of iPhone and tourbillon
So, this exists. Look, I write about high-end mechanical watches on the daily, so I’ve got a pretty high threshold for the superfluous things in life, but this is just ridiculous. A company called Caviar (of course they’re called Caviar) has revolutionised the world of both watchmaking and iPhones by releasing (and I quote): “the … ContinuedThe post NEWS: Peak ridiculousness achieved with the unholy fusion of iPhone and tourbillon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: 4 outrageously cool Australian military Bremonts I spotted at their Melbourne boutique opening
Walking into Bremont’s brand new Melbourne boutique, it doesn’t take long to work out the brand’s military and aviation connection. If the spartan style of the watches didn’t give the game away, the pictures of planes on the walls, the hanging model biplane, and the actual, very battered looking ejection seat sitting front-and-centre kind of … ContinuedThe post LIST: 4 outrageously cool Australian military Bremonts I spotted at their Melbourne boutique opening appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: New Traditions – taking a look at the Rado Tradition 1965
There’s few things I like more in watchland than being surprised. Sadly, it doesn’t happen too often. But when it does, it’s always memorable. And being in Rado’s booth at Basel last year was one of those moments. I had seen the large Tradition 1965 on display and dismissed it without a thought.

VIDEO: Rado’s off-centre DiaMaster proves that life isn’t always balanced
If you’re looking for a watch that’s a little left-of-centre style-wise, look no further. Rado’s idiosyncratic DiaMaster takes many of the conventions of fine watchmaking and turns them, if not on their heads, at least a little bit sideways. And the resulting watch is, it must be said, quite charming. Of course, there are still … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Rado’s off-centre DiaMaster proves that life isn’t always balanced appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The three things that convinced me to take Bulgari seriously as a watchmaker
It’s not an easy, or necessarily wise, thing to admit, but the first ‘proper’ cologne I ever purchased (with money from my job working at the deli in Coles) was Bulgari. And the first expensive sunglasses I owned? Also Bulgari. It was natural, then, that when I entered the world of haute horology a decade … ContinuedThe post The three things that convinced me to take Bulgari seriously as a watchmaker appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: Bulgari bring back a legend with the Gérald Genta 50th Anniversary Watch
Few names loom larger in the collective consciousness of horological history than Gérald Genta. He’s one of the few individual designers whose name - because of the strength of his work - stands as tall as the great houses for whom he worked. But later in his career, Genta launched his own eponymous brand which … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Bulgari bring back a legend with the Gérald Genta 50th Anniversary Watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

When Hublot announced its partnership with French contemporary artist Richard Orlinski back in 2017, I guess you could say I was intrigued.
