Hublot take their motto – The Art of Fusion – very seriously. It’s an ideology we’ve witnessed them bring to life ever since their very first watch, which combined a gold case with a natural rubber strap – the likes of which had never been seen before. It’s also an attitude that has allowed for … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Hublot Big Bang Unico Golf appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

“Art is subjective” – a phrase I’m sure you’ve heard, and even said once or twice. Usually in response to someone who has made some rather critical comments about a particular artist or piece of work you like. Whether it’s a painting, a song, a photograph, or a sculpture. There’s always going to be two … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Orlinski appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Since 2014, New York-based Martenero have been quietly making a name for themselves amongst the enthusiasts of the microbrand watch community.

I’ve been a big fan of Hublot’s Meccano-inspired Meca-10 ever since I saw it in the metal. For me it manages to be super new and exciting for Hublot, yet also 100 per cent on brand. At the heart of this watch (and its appeal) is the movement. The HUB1201 is a big old manual … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Halo effect - the Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 in King Gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Accuracy used to be a big deal in watchmaking. There were competitions to test the accuracy of wristwatches. There were complications - additional functions - and engineering improvements designed to assist the watch in keeping true time. There was a space race of sorts to be the most accurate watchmaker in the world. The exploding popularity of … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Exploring one of the most accessible COSC-certified collections on the market, the new Longines Record range appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

‘Novelty’ is one of the most abused words in the watch industry. Practically, it’s used to describe the steady stream of new models and designs being produced by watchmaking brands. But on top of that, it conveys a sense of newness and - marketing departments fervently hope - excitement. For example, Jaeger-LeCoultre’s 2017 novelties were their Master … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: An exercise in subtlety – the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Moon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The name of this watch gives much away about its romantic, dare we even say, poetic roots. Seiko do not usually name their watches. This makes them very difficult to tell your friends about.
