HANDS-ON: Put a smile on your dial – the Bell & Ross BR 01 Laughing Skull
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.

VIDEO: The detail in the deep blue dial – Seiko’s Shippo Enamel SPB073
Often the best watches are those that come with a story attached.

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.

Skeletonised watches - where the solid dial, and in some cases the entire movement, has been pared down and stripped away to leave the bare bones of the architecture - can be something of an acquired taste.
