One of the coolest dual times we’ve seen in ages – the Oris Big Crown ProPilot Worldtimer

Daily style done right, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic

Editor’s note: This year’s SIHH from JLC was very much a return to their core – high complications and Reversos. Don’t forget, though, that last year saw the brand break out with a bold, sporty collection – the Polaris. We take another look at the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic. The Polaris  is one of those truly iconic watches … ContinuedThe post Daily style done right, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: Beautiful, new, and now in blue – 3 core Vacheron Constantin watches get a dial makeover

Traditionally, the blues are associated with sadness or hard times in life. However, that’s definitely not the case over at Vacheron Constantin, as these new blue-dialled additions add a bright new take on some of the brand’s core pieces. But, these three blues are not the same, each is different in shade or finish, and … ContinuedThe post LIST: Beautiful, new, and now in blue – 3 core Vacheron Constantin watches get a dial makeover appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

At a Baselworld that failed to excite on many levels, Hublot revved up crowds with an entirely new model, a 90th birthday collaboration that is anything but for the elderly, a totally bonkers tattooist tie-in and a Spirit of Big Bang that is a true blue beauty.

INTRODUCING: Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic

In the last few years, skeletonised watches have undergone a renaissance. Once overly designed and overwrought, at some point this distinctive genre segued from niche to very nice indeed. And Jaquet Droz’s Skelet-One is a great example of this new breed. Clean and simple, rather than ornate, is the name of the game for this … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Jaquet Droz’s Grande Seconde Skelet-One Ceramic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

If there’s one thing Bell & Ross love more than aviation, it’s skulls. They have been regularly releasing models adorned with the macabre motif since 2009. However, the two themes aren’t mutually exclusive, with their skull-emblazoned pieces referencing the military airborne units of WWII, who used the Jolly Roger as a not-so-subtle symbol of their … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Put a smile on your dial – the Bell & Ross BR 01 Laughing Skull appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Last year’s release of the Black Bay S&G; was something of a slow burn. In the heat of the initial announcements, all eyes were on the impressive Black Bay Chrono.

I have been collecting for many years now and I have learned to be patient.

HANDS-ON:  Blue moon rising – Raymond Weil’s Maestro Moon Phase 

Call me a romantic, but the moon phase complication is amongst my favourites.

One of the things I love most in watches is when a brand challenges my preconceptions. That’s exactly what happened in Jaquet Droz’s Basel booth earlier this year.

Just because Jaquet Droz is a relative newcomer to Australia doesn’t mean they don’t have history.

There was a lot of mystery surrounding this piece when it was pulled out of a large green box during our appointment with Rolex at Baselworld.

For over 30 years the Portofino has been amongst IWC’s dressiest offerings, with a rounded Lépine-inspired case, and elegant, elongated Roman numerals. So it comes as no surprise that the line has a prominent place in IWC’s 150th anniversary collection.
