John, AKA @barnfindwatches, is a family man and a certifiable watchaholic. In his spare time, he runs the sales organisation for a small software company in Los Angeles, meaning he travels all around the US, meeting with customers and seeing places in the country that few would ever (voluntarily) go. How do you unwind? Although … ContinuedThe post WHO TO FOLLOW: @barnfindwatches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Today is less of a wind down and more of a recovery. Last night we hosted a small gathering of some of our favourite watch lovers. Drinks were had, canapés were consumed, watches were ogled, fondled and ‘grammed, and new friends were found. Thanks to everyone who came! But that was last night. Today we’re … ContinuedThe post FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 1st September, 2017 – the ‘Gaga-gate’ edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Reviewing watches like the Sky-Dweller is all well and good, but we’re (usually) quite detached about it. So we decided to find the opinions of people who had handed over their own hard-earned for the Sky-Dweller and asked them for their far less impartial take. Ashley’s perspective First we spoke to Ashley, a Sydney-based collector who’s … ContinuedThe post INSIGHT: 2 takes on the Rolex Sky-Dweller from people who bought it appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Earlier this week we showed you Franck Muller’s Skeleton Tourbillon, a sculptural wonder that let the movement shine. Today we’ve got a different take on the tourbillon: the Jumping Hours Tourbillon, which is just as stunning, even if it’s a little less revealing to the casual observer.

Ancient Greek and Roman mythology furnish Bulgari with emblems from across the epochs, but their love affair with bold women in history also holds sway on their aesthetic. Like serpents, these dangerous beauties are sinful and sinuous - and nothing less than paradoxical. Fittingly, their latest Serpenti watch is a timepiece that can literally shed … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: When your hands are tied, consensually – Bulgari Serpenti Skin collection appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Bear with me this week as I go a little off script. This week’s Wind Down is less about watches and more about all the stuff around them. Fashion. Technology. Business. Fine watchmaking manages to neatly intersect all these areas, informing and being informed by them.

So far this week we’ve looked at the larger 45mm Captain Cook and the smaller vintage versions. To round out the trifecta, we’re taking this bright and beach-ready number for a spin. Now, this isn’t your typical ‘on the wrist’ review, as the mesh bracelet is intended for wrists smaller (and less hairy) than my one. … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: One for the ladies – the Rado HyperChrome Captain Cook in white appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Sometimes the endless parade of circular watches gets a little monotonous. We’ve been conditioned by decades of design to default to the round in watches. By and large that’s fine, but sometimes we want something just outside the norm – still versatile, still stylish, but a little less same same. And there’s where the squares … ContinuedThe post LIST: Square pegs in a round world – 6 of the best square watches appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Oris seem to be going from strength to strength, releasing smart watch designs – like the Divers Sixty-Five – that impress critics and customers alike.

One of the brands we’re always excited to see at Baselworld is Seiko. Not just because they’ve always got a few surprises up their sleeve, but also, if we’re honest, because the price point is a lot less painful than some of their Swiss counterparts.

There’s something gloriously, incredibly and fabulously over the top about a solid gold dive watch. It’s the ultimate juxtaposition of functional object and precious ornament, all bundled up in a neat, wrist-optimised package. It’s this contrast that lies at the heart of the PAM 684’s appeal. And make no mistake, this is an incredibly lust-worthy watch. … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: Panerai’s Midas touch – the Luminor Submersible 1950 3 Days Automatic Oro Rosso (PAM 684) appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Bell & Ross’s latest take on its classic square draws inspiration not just from aviation, but also – far less predictably – from the realms of art and architecture.

We all know about their intrinsic value; we are all aware of the craftsmanship, intricacy and heritage that lies beneath the faces of our favourites. But what about the watch’s role as an instrument for enthusiasts to bond over?

Well, we’ve definitely come down from the post-SIHH high.

Well, Christian and Evelyn have arrived at their destination and no, it’s not some Bond-villain-esque lair or a high-stakes diamond heist.

The story in a second When it comes to value, it’s hard to beat Seiko, and this Presage is no exception.

Are you sitting down? You’d better be, because I’m about to drop a truth bomb of bunker-busting proportions.

Look for a minute at your wedding ring. Do you like it? It’s hard to answer, right?

Just as much as we love to talk about watches, we are also continuously on the lookout to spot industry moves and trends. We first pointed out the callous arms race for bronze case watches, and it seems like there is yet another trend on the rise in the emergence of steel case watches in premium lines. For those less familiar with the metals, for premium brands like Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, steel is usually associated with sports models and their classic models are seldom made in steel.

Original Sin An erotic watch is, in several ways, the 18th-century equivalent of pornography in your smartphone.
