I like to imagine this time of year as an Advent calendar for watch lovers, with pre-release announcements being dropped each and every day as the countdown to SIHH 2019 ticks ever closer.

TAG Heuer has never been afraid of trying new things, and the new Carbon collection is proof. To date, it consists of three popular models that have been given a carbon makeover: the Monaco, the Aquaracer and the Carrera. Earlier this week, we showed you the stealthier Carbon Carrera, but today we’re going to make … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A flash on the wrist – the carbon and gold TAG Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
2018 will surely be remembered as a milestone year for Panerai, not only for the timepieces that the maison released this year but also, and most notably, for the retirement of the man and genius who brought Panerai to where it is today: Angelo Bonati.

A little while ago I posited that the Tissot Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 was the best-value diver of 2018, a bold claim I still back. Today, it’s time to meet the Seastar’s dressy cousin, the Chemin des Tourelles. This watch is powered by the same, quite impressive Powermatic 80 as the Seastar, but on the … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: An everyday all-star – the Tissot Chemin des Tourelles appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Rado’s DiaMaster Petite Seconde is a great contender for a go-to daily wearer, as it offers a pretty good taste of both worlds. The style is restrained without being boring - there are heritage touches there, like the leaf-shaped hands and small seconds, but it’s also pleasingly up to date in terms of fine design … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Timeless style in a 21st century body – the Rado DiaMaster Petite Seconde appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We’ve spent a bit of time this week going back and forth over the finer points of Seiko’s latest Executive Sports Astrons, from the blingy SSE170J to the tennis-y SSE174J.

Seiko’s Astron (the new GPS one, not the groundbreaking quartz one) is a pretty incredible piece of kit. Ostensibly, it tells the time, day, date and a second time zone. But the trick is in the method. The Astron, thanks to GPS technology, keeps track of time by talking to satellites - a quite cool … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Ready for anything – the Seiko Astron SSE170J1 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

With a brand so rich in history, the origins of what can only be called typical Breguet design cues date a fair ways back into the archives.

Editor’s note: The thing I love most about Tudor is their capacity to surprise. They get me every single time. I mean, every time a new watch is announced I know it’s probably going to be a Black Bay, but they still manage to defy expectations.

Luminox has a long history of working with heroes. The Icelandic Association for Search and Rescue (ICE- SAR) was founded in 1928 due to Iceland’s extreme weather conditions and lack of a professional army. The first group of volunteers created this proud tradition and today, ICE-SAR has 93 teams and a force of over 8,000 volunteers, passionately driving accident prevention and Search and Rescue programs in Iceland to battle with Mother Nature.

It’s hard to overstate the significance of the Polaris collection for Jaeger-LeCoultre.

One of the strongest offerings is the chronograph. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph – sporty, steel and oh-so stylish appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: An affordable Swiss-made tourbillon. Words like that were once considered something of an oxymoron. That all changed, however, when in 2016, TAG Heuer’s Carrera Heuer-02T came along, causing something of a stir amongst the watchmaking elite.

Breguet is one of the most inventive and innovative classical watch brands in the market today. With its wide product offering, the brand boasts both high-complication timepieces with a hybrid modern twist and simple, elegant time-only watches. The watch that we will examine today is from the latter group, but bears elements quintessential to the brand's design.

Few colours have the symbolic weight of black. It’s meaningful in pretty much every culture.

Raymond Weil’s latest take on their sporty Freelancer Chronograph is – to be blunt – really good-looking. Fundamentally, it’s the same as Freelancer chronos we’ve seen before: 42mm steel case, bulletproof RW500 movement, 12,6,9 subdial layout, day/date and screw-down crown and pushers. It’s a solid piece of kit. What’s new, though, is the colour way.
