LIST: Square pegs in a round world – 6 of the best square watches
Sometimes the endless parade of circular watches gets a little monotonous. We’ve been conditioned by decades of design to default to the round in watches. By and large that’s fine, but sometimes we want something just outside the norm – still versatile, still stylish, but a little less same same. And there’s where the squares … ContinuedThe post LIST: Square pegs in a round world – 6 of the best square watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic lives up to its name
In 1939 when two Portuguese merchants approached IWC about making a wristwatch with the same levels of accuracy usually seen in marine chronometer pocket watches, they had no idea it would be the beginning of a legend and the birth of one of IWC’s most popular collections. With a new slightly revised design, IWC have launched … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic lives up to its name appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: There’s more to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second than meets the eye
At first glance the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second seems simple enough, with its round 39.6mm case in satin-brushed steel and uncluttered dial. Closer examination reveals the unmistakable quality, the frosted silver opaline dial, the mirror-polished applied batons and slender hands. The strength of the case and the judicious use of luminous material let you know … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: There’s more to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic True Second than meets the eye appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: Ulysse Nardin’s surprise sailing watch – the Marine Regatta
Ulysse Nardin made their name way back in 1846 making marine chronometres – highly accurate ship’s clocks that were an essential navigational tool in the times before radio and GPS. These days the Le Locle-based brand still makes chronometre-style timepeices, but as a celebration of heritage rather than a practical tool. This isn’t to say that … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Ulysse Nardin’s surprise sailing watch – the Marine Regatta appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
