INTRODUCING: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel

I like to imagine this time of year as an Advent calendar for watch lovers, with pre-release announcements being dropped each and every day as the countdown to SIHH 2019 ticks ever closer. Today’s delectable delight comes courtesy of Jaeger-LeCoultre, and not only is it new, it’s also blue, and delivers an impressively novel take … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon Enamel appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Casio Wave Ceptor Review WV-59DJ-1AJF Dec 31, 2018

Casio Wave Ceptor Review (WV-59DJ-1AJF)

But as I spent time with the Casio Wave Ceptor, I began to realize why I never really considered it to be appropriate as a grab-and-go quartz watch. There are certain nuances of this watch that made me realize that it really isn't the best watch for everyone. So if you're thinking about picking up the WV-59DJ-1AJF - this Casio Wave Ceptor review is for you.

RECOMMENDED READING: Wired’s tech take on the smartwatch 

For a site ostensibly about fine mechanical watches we spend a decent amount of time talking and thinking about watches of the smart variety. But we come at the genre (which is, thanks to Apple, the biggest category of watch in the game at the moment) from a fairly particular (dare I say biased) perspective, … ContinuedThe post RECOMMENDED READING: Wired’s tech take on the smartwatch  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

A little while ago, Tudor shared two short videos with their premier ambassador, Mr David Beckham, that looked at two of his Tudor watches. And I’ve got to say, as far as showing what a brand is all about, they’re pretty hard to beat. The first video looks at the first Tudor watch Beckham owned … ContinuedThe post INSIGHT: David Beckham’s Tudors prove that old, messed up watches are the best appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Pancor Watch P02 Review and My Kickstarter Buying Experience

I found the Pancor Watches P02 and I fell in love with it. This watch called to me for a three reasons: (1) It had a hi-beat movement. All of the watches I had experienced up to this point were 21.6k beats per hour, and I yearned for a smoother sweep; (2) it was black PVD and I thought that was awesome; (3) And the power reserve reminded me of that elusive Tudor North Flag.

Ep. #107 I’m Not a Watch Collector

Kaz and Mike take a break from the structured episodes to discuss some more personal aspects of watch collecting. During this very special holiday season, the guys reflect on the role social media plays in pressuring consumers into thinking they need to become watch collectors. As a result, they stop to wonder if they actually are "collectors" or a couple of dudes that just love watches. Oh, and a major watch collection purge is coming soon - so keep an eye out for some cool giveaways.

Certina DS PH200M Review Dec 23, 2018

Certina DS PH200M Review

The watch deftly combines a vintage aesthetic with modern technology and does it all without relying on the faux patina that can be so polarizing within the watch community. This piece helps to mark the 130th anniversary of Certina, references a watch dating back over half a century, and (given the Swatch Group’s exit from Baselworld) also marks Certina’s last hurrah at the venerated festival.

HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon

I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the Aquaracer. To my mind, it’s something of an unsung hero in TAG Heuer’s chronograph-heavy line-up. But the modern diver looks the business and, in a water-loving country like Australia, makes sense. It’s also quite a youthful feeling watch, which makes a nice changeup from … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The TAG Heuer Aquaracer Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
