When you’re young you want to be like your dad. He’s a cool guy. He’s as strong as Atlas. Everything he does is brilliant. Whatever he wears is what you should wear. Dadjeans? Cool. Hawaiian shirts? Whatever you think, dad. A too-small gold watch on special occasions? Naturally. And then you grow up.

IN-DEPTH: Bronze beauty - the Oris Carl Brashear Limited Edition

The story in a second From the bright and shiny press pics, to the patinated reality, the bronze Carl Brashear from Oris is one of the buzziest watches released this year.

History Making Military Dive Watches

HANDS-ON: Blancpain, but not as we know it. The L-Evolution Tourbillon Carrousel

The watch you’re looking at isn’t a Richard Mille or Hublot creation. No folks, this is made by Blancpain.

Precisely no one. But that’s … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Blancpain, but not as we know it. The L-Evolution Tourbillon Carrousel appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

WATCHSPOTTING: Who wore it best? The Rolex President feat. Posh, Ike and Bieber

When it comes to Rolex, the precious-metal-only Day-Date (aka the President) is pretty much at the top of the tree, so naturally it isn’t short of high-profile wearers. But when we spotted Victoria Beckham sporting one out-and-about in New York earlier this week, it got us thinking about how versatile this watch is. So many people have … ContinuedThe post WATCHSPOTTING: Who wore it best?

VIDEO: Hublot, Juventus and the beautiful game

Hublot loves football. If you watched the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil this would have been abundantly clear – even the referee boards bore the distinctive porthole shape the brand is famous (and named) for.

After Hours: Part 2 - The Art of Erotica

Original Sin An erotic watch is, in several ways, the 18th-century equivalent of pornography in your smartphone. (Or, in a more primitive age, those cute nude ballpoints where a model’s black lace basque falls off when you invert the pen, a reliable way of livening up the dullest of meetings.) One, it is advanced technology […]

After Hours: Part 1 - Erotica Automata

One of the secret episodes in the history of classic horology is the erotic watch: wearable tech - even wearable porn - that is centuries old. The watch with erotic scenes, at first static enamel or engraved pictures concealed behind flaps, later evolved into complex automata with miniature figures performing in meticulous, if mindless, metronomic […]

The Marcus Audemars Piguet Collection: Part 1

Tales of legendary watch collectors are legion, like the guy with one of every Greubel-Forsey model or 50 Rolex “Paul Newman” Daytonas. One collection that is not contested, because its owner produced a book documenting some of its treasures, is said to be even greater than the accumulation by the brand itself. Marcus Margulies, owner […]

Field Test: Blancpain Tribute to Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung

“Coast Guard, this is motor-vessel Bonsai, we have a missing diver in the water. Repeat, missing diver.” I scanned the choppy water as we motored in increasing arcs, realising the near-impossibility of spotting a person in the 7ft (2m) swells. I’d rehearsed this scenario in my head a hundred times, but nothing could prepare me […]

Review: Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date

Montblanc released the Heritage Chronométrie Collection Twincounter Date at SIHH 2016. This watch spiked our attention because of its utilitarian design and understated beauty. It stands out from the usual time and date wristwatch primarily because of its reinterpreted dial. While not excruciatingly obvious, the unusual subdial positioning of the seconds counter juxtaposed with a larger date subdial is what makes this watch so exciting to us.

SIHH 2016: Montblanc TimeWalker Urban Speed UTC e-Strap
