It’s been a mildly epic week here at T+T HQ. We’ve had a full plate of videography, airshow action with Oris (we’re now investigating options around leasing a Pilatus private jet – don’t tell our accountant), and Felix is becoming worryingly attached to the Apple Watch he’s reviewing. On top of all this, the logisitical nightmare that is … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 3rd March, 2017 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Anyone who’s followed the SIHH 2017 releases will have noticed a few clear trends emerging – more entry level options, more yellow gold, that sort of thing. One trend that wasn’t as remarked upon in all the excitement of the fair was the way several brands made significant changes to their marketing and identity.

The 89th Acadamy Awards will go down in history as one of the more infamous Oscars, largely due to the La La Land/Moonlight mix-up, but also because of the strong political undertones (ACLU ribbons were the accessory of choice).

‘Like a boss’ is a phrase we’re attempting to permanently retire at Time+Tide. It’s done. But there’s no other way to describe the way the CEO of Bulgari visited our offices.

Jaeger-LeCoultre did everything right at SIHH. Their collection surprised and delighted in equal measure with a little something for everyone, from high-end tourbillons to fresh takes on the feminine Rendez-Vous, and sexy new variants of old favourites (we’re looking at you, black and pink gold Master Compressor).

With more than 50 vintage planes and fewer than 20 pilots – all sourced from the globe’s most accomplished military, commercial and private aviators – the Shuttleworth Collection is possibly the best precision flying club in the world.
During the 1940s, a gesture – as commercially expedient as it was generous – by German émigré and founder of Rolex Hans Wilsdorf, saw the brand become a huge part of the Second World War, and, indeed, cinematic folklore.

We’re all taught the colours of the rainbow from pre-school, so it’s amazing how many of us grow up to wear only black.
