Rado is synonymous with ceramic. The brand pioneered the use of the material, creating its very own niche along the way. With its combination of incredible scratch resistance and lightness, it’s easy to see why it’s such a good material for watch cases. Perhaps the most iconic of all ceramic watches is the aptly named … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: Evergreen design – the Rado Ceramica appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Anyone that’s been touched by motor neurone disease, in any way, is likely to want to help the world find a cure. It’s a brutal and dehumanising disease.

The first watch company to ever make me feel, as an adult man, that I had found “my brand”, was Officine Panerai. Why? Because what could be more appealing than the idea that the modern luxury watch you are strapping onto your wrist, is based on the dive watches worn by Italian naval commandos? Panerai’s watches are so rich in narrative, so powerful and emotive, that the first time I saw one, I knew I had to have one.

When it was originally conceived, the tourbillon was a technical solution to a specific problem - the impact of gravity on the accuracy of a pocket watch’s movement. These days the whirling cage of finely finished metal represents something else. For brands, it’s a bravura statement of prowess. For watch lovers, it’s typically the crowning … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The complete package – Ulysse Nardin’s Marine Tourbillon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

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.

Christine Hutter is the rare female CEO in the male-dominated watch industry who started as a watchmaker and then founded her own company. In 2008, she started the Moritz Grossmann Company, named after one of the founding fathers of German watchmaking, from her kitchen table in her Dresden apartment. Three months later, she moved the company to Glashütte and the rest of the story is one of hard work, determination and success. I caught up with Hutter in her beautiful manufacture in Glashütte.
