It was clear from Zenith’s 2018 collection that the Defy line was a major priority.

It’s … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 6 of the best new Zenith releases of 2018 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Rado is synonymous with a pioneering use of high-tech ceramic in watches. Attractively sleek, the material is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and virtually scratchproof, making it perfectly suited to watchmaking. However, not so much for those of us who like our watches with a peppering of patina, and enjoy a little wabi-sabi action every now and again. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Rado HyperChrome Bronze – ceramic meets the bronze age appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Holding a watch in your hands, and wearing it on your wrist is one thing.

The tit-for-tat battle between Piaget and Bulgari for title of “Master of the Ultrathin” rages on, and it would seem Bulgari has struck another blow at Baselworld in 2018 with the new Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic.

Two Broke Watch Snobs
This week the guys take some time to candidly share the watches they're actually considering as purchases for 2018. The wrist check is also a fun one, as both of the snobs share some old time favorites and a very particular watch that hasn't been on the show for some time. Also, a microbrand offering a 7750 chronograph for under €1,000? Yeah, you bet your ass that made it's way into the discussion.

Styled by renowned product designer Werner Aisslinger and his creative partner Tina Bunyaprasit, the Autobahn deviates from the German brand’s usual minimalistic palette, and introduces a whole new side to the Nomos catalogue.

It’s always fun seeing Bell & Ross at Baselworld. Aside from the quality, and strong, distinctive DNA of their core offerings, the design-oriented brand is exceptionally good at creating narratives and mythologies around their watches.

Yacht rock is one of the Time+Tide office’s favourite genres of smooth, easy listening music, so it should come as no surprise that we’re more than willing to get behind the Franck Muller Vanguard S6 Yachting, which see’s the brand’s typical large, curvex case in mirror-like gold holds - well, less watch than you’d expect … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Set sail with the Franck Muller Vanguard S6 Yachting appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It sort of feels like all we’ve been hearing about from Zenith through the last year leading up to Baselworld 2018 has been all things Defy. And fair enough, the Defy Lab is technically the biggest thing since the horological equivalent of sliced bread (the winding rotor perhaps?).

When in London, it’d be rude not to drop in and see one of their (very few) British watch brands – Bremont.

Though technically introduced ahead of Baselworld 2018, the fair provided the first opportunity to take a first-hand look at the latest Omega watch collection for the 2018 Olympics, and to be perfectly frank, I was more than impressed.

When Raymond Weil designed the Calibre RW1212, their first ever in-house design (produced by Sellita), I suspect part of the mandate was to show it off, hence the open escapement prominently on display - literally showing off a movement they’re rightfully proud of.

There’s a lot of important planning that happens in the lead up to Baselworld. But perhaps the single most important question is - what watch do I wear?

There’s more to a watch than how it feels and looks on the wrist.
