HANDS-ON: Blue heaven – the Rolex Daytona in white gold with blue dial (ref. 116509), plus pics of EVERY new 2016 Daytona
Two thousand and sixteen will surely go down in the annals of watch-lore as the year of the Daytona. Not only did Rolex finally update their stainless steel icon, but they also unveiled two new precious metal versions. We’ve already looked at the oh-so-shiny green and yellow gold version, and today we hold in our … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Blue heaven – the Rolex Daytona in white gold with blue dial (ref. 116509), plus pics of EVERY new 2016 Daytona appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Of all the (many) lists of I’ve put together this year, this is without doubt, the hardest.

Unifying Time - The World Time Chronograph, Ref. 5930
The term “World Time” is an integral part of today’s watchmaking vocabulary, but its origins are relatively new in the grand horological scheme of things. Revolution Switzerland’s Sophie Furley takes a look at the history of the Patek Philippe World Time collections and the fascinating stories they have to tell, with a little help from Patek Philippe’s Head of Watch Development, Mr. Philip Barat.

YEAR IN REVIEW 2016: Letter from the Editor
In the last few years, storm clouds have formed over the Helvetic Republic, where, for years, there has been nothing but blue sky and crisp alpine air. First they were mere zephyrs, barely rippling the surface of our collective consciousness, hardly worthy of mention in those glorious, post-GFC days. More recently we’ve noticed an increasing number of … ContinuedThe post YEAR IN REVIEW 2016: Letter from the Editor appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Summer stunner – the TAG Heuer Aquaracer 300m Calibre 5 Titanium
It might be stating the obvious, but this Aquaracer doesn’t have a tourbillon or a modular case construction. Nor is it a smart watch, or a reissue of a ’70s watchmaking icon. This is a plain old ‘new watch’ from a well known family. No bells, no whistles, just an absolute winner of a watch.

Design Exchange

Baume & Mercier are known for their value-focused take on traditional watchmaking. Their Clifton and Capeland collections epitomise this approach, offering versatile style at a price that won’t break the bank.
