This week our feeds have been blowing up with all the hot new lewks from Florence as the #menswear and #influencer brigade descended for Pitti Immagine Uomo 94 - a trade show that seems, from the outside at least, to be more about lounging around faux-casually, in immaculate, over-the-top outfits.

Editor’s note: Well, it’s been a year since this one was first published. And while a lot has changed over the last 12 months, a few things remain the same.

Skeletonised watches - where the solid dial, and in some cases the entire movement, has been pared down and stripped away to leave the bare bones of the architecture - can be something of an acquired taste. And, as with all watches, the look can vary greatly, from ultra traditional to modern, depending on the execution. … ContinuedThe post LIST: Out of the closet and onto the wrist – 6 of the best skeleton watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

It’s easy with any brand’s new release catalogue to get swept up with the drama and complexity of the halo pieces.

Microbrands - everyone's starting one. It's what's in, kids! With all this microbrand saturation it's difficult to create a microbrand piece these days that actually has impact. One watch could look like any other watch from another brand if the "designers" aren't careful. That's why it's important for microbrands to have a design element built into the piece that's more than just the name on the dial.

Late last year, one of the more surprising (and contentious) inclusions in my “best watches of 2017” list was the Apple Watch Series 3.

Case profile. There, I said it. It might not be as sexy as the movement or the dial, but in terms of real-world user-friendliness, it’s the kingmaker or deal-breaker.
