The end of the year is fast approaching, and it’s about this time that the questions begin. “Hey Cam, what watches do you think we’ll see next year?” And although I’m not one to usually speculate – mainly because the watch industry is an infamously secretive place and I hate being proved wrong – by … ContinuedThe post LIST: History repeating – 5 watch trends we can expect to see more of next year appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Fancy a date? How about the Nomos Tangente neomatik 41 Update
Surely there is no more contentious complication in the world of watchmaking than a seemingly humble date display? It’s hard to believe that something so useful, and seemingly ubiquitous, can be so divisive. One way to end the date/no date feud is to include it, but with a twist.

INTRODUCING: The three amigos - Zenith’s Defy Zero G dons Mexican affair
Around these horological parts, we really love a good four-letter acronym – SIHH, GPHG, COSC … I think you get the idea.

Owning a tourbillon is a dream for many watch-loving folks.

Nothing hints at the story of a watch more than its imperfections. A thick scratch across the crystal. Could that have been a motorbike accident? A near miss with a switchblade?
