HOW TO: Make your watch brand go viral, a marketing masterclass by Moser
It’s both reassuring and alarming to discover that H. Moser & Cie.

He’s also refreshingly direct and far from complacent about the … ContinuedThe post HOW TO: Make your watch brand go viral, a marketing masterclass by Moser appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Uncovering the true costs of owning a watch
The costs of watch ownership begins with the purchase. But if you were thinking that it ends with it, think again. Similar to cars, watches too need regular oil changes, servicing and maintenance.

Review: Blancpain Villeret Quantième Annuel GMT steel
Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.
