HANDS-ON: The Rado HyperChrome Bronze – ceramic meets the bronze age
Rado is synonymous with a pioneering use of high-tech ceramic in watches. Attractively sleek, the material is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and virtually scratchproof, making it perfectly suited to watchmaking. However, not so much for those of us who like our watches with a peppering of patina, and enjoy a little wabi-sabi action every now and again. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Rado HyperChrome Bronze – ceramic meets the bronze age appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: From a piece of steel to a finished watch – how the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris is made
Holding a watch in your hands, and wearing it on your wrist is one thing. But seeing where that small, highly precise piece of machinery was designed, and how it comes to life is something completely different, as I found out when I visited Jaeger-LeCoultre’s manufacture in the Vallée de Joux earlier this year, and … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: From a piece of steel to a finished watch – how the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris is made appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HANDS-ON: The record-shattering Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic
The tit-for-tat battle between Piaget and Bulgari for title of “Master of the Ultrathin” rages on, and it would seem Bulgari has struck another blow at Baselworld in 2018 with the new Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic. The new piece dethrones Piaget’s latest self-winder, the Altiplano Ultimate Automatic 910P that launched ahead of SIHH 2018 as … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The record-shattering Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Automatic appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Styled by renowned product designer Werner Aisslinger and his creative partner Tina Bunyaprasit, the Autobahn deviates from the German brand’s usual minimalistic palette, and introduces a whole new side to the Nomos catalogue.

Hamilton Chrono-Matic II (9379): Why The Hell Aren’t These More Popular?
Why this particular Hamilton Chrono-matic II isn’t more popular among enthusiasts is beyond me. Near as I can figure it, it's because it straddles that shadowed area of vintage watches that isn’t quite old enough to be “real vintage;” yet it hit the markets about a decade too soon for it to get the praise provided by the horology journalism of today.

It sort of feels like all we’ve been hearing about from Zenith through the last year leading up to Baselworld 2018 has been all things Defy.
