LIST: 9 innovations from the watchmaking wasteland of the ‘90s that matter today

Sitting between the now nostalgia-laden ‘80s and the innovation explosion of the 2000s, the 1990s is seen as something of a watchmaking wasteland; a bold (and brash) period that’s currently out of fashion, but not far enough away to be viewed through the rose tinted glasses of history. But were the ‘90s really a write-off? … ContinuedThe post LIST: 9 innovations from the watchmaking wasteland of the ‘90s that matter today appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Ulysse Nardin s Marine Chronometer Torpilleur Aug 6, 2017

VIDEO: Full speed ahead with Ulysse Nardin’s Marine Chronometer Torpilleur

For years, Ulysse Nardin has been something of an insider’s brand with a solid heritage and catalogue boasting some legitimately impressive horology (we’re looking at you, Freak). Their strongest line has, in my opinion, always been the historically inspired Marine collection, based on the brand’s historic marine chronometers which date back to the middle of … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Full speed ahead with Ulysse Nardin’s Marine Chronometer Torpilleur appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 4th August, 2017 – the fashion edition

Bear with me this week as I go a little off script. This week’s Wind Down is less about watches and more about all the stuff around them. Fashion. Technology. Business. Fine watchmaking manages to neatly intersect all these areas, informing and being informed by them. On a day-to-day level though, it’s easy to miss the linkages, … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 4th August, 2017 – the fashion edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I can honestly think of few watch/car matches more perfect than that of Hublot and Ferrari.

But beyond that, the carmaker and watchmaker share a fearless approach to design and performance, and … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Design driven – Hublot’s Big Bang Ferrari Unico in King Gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HOW TO: Let your significant other know you’re buying a watch – 8 strategies for success

The reality is that watches are luxury goods, so the ‘need’ to buy them rarely occurs. That means for most, they naturally fall very low (some say too low) on life’s list of priorities, and most definitely do not out-rank things like kids, mortgages and school fees. And unless your partner shares your passion, I’d … ContinuedThe post HOW TO: Let your significant other know you’re buying a watch – 8 strategies for success appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
