VIDEO: The 4 Rolex watches that burned down the house on day 1 of Baselworld 2017

If Rolex as a brand has mastered any single art – apart from watchmaking in practically all of its forms – it is to both meet and exceed expectations at every single Baselworld watch fair. Granted, this can be a baby step, like last year, when they singlehandedly turned Baselworld into Bezelworld. Or it can … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: The 4 Rolex watches that burned down the house on day 1 of Baselworld 2017 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Steel – a rugged new look and a hot date

Tudor has just lifted the lid on the Black Bay Chronograph, and already they’re showing us another Baselworld 2017 novelty, and surprisingly/unsurprisingly it’s another take on the Black Bay. But rather than offer novel materials or finishes, like last year’s Bronze and Dark version, Tudor has revisited the heart of the collection, and offered another … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Steel – a rugged new look and a hot date appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BREAKING: 5 photos that will help you decide where you stand on the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono

The new Tudor Black Bay Chrono has just dropped and there have been a lot of feels expressed in the nine hours since it was released. The hashtag is simple, just little old #bbchrono – which almost sounds like one of the greatest blues guitar players ever – but the response has been quite the opposite. It’s stirred … ContinuedThe post BREAKING: 5 photos that will help you decide where you stand on the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BASEL BUILDUP: 3 days to go. The watches of 2016 that nearly brought two Aussies to blows

BASEL BUILDUP: It’s happy families at Time+Tide most of the time. We have our likes, dislikes. But it’s horses for courses, and it’s cool. That said, if there’s any setting that causes a bit of healthy conflict, it’s the Baselworld experience. And by about day four it’s a pressure cooker. This is about when we … ContinuedThe post BASEL BUILDUP: 3 days to go. The watches of 2016 that nearly brought two Aussies to blows appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool

We don’t talk much about quartz here at Time+Tide, and that’s usually for a good reason. Most quartz watches are pretty boring. There are, however, some exceptional quartz technologies out there, and the just-announced Longines Conquest VHP is a great example of this. VHP stands for Very High Precision and it is, believe it or … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Longines Conquest VHP – very precise, very cool appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BASEL BUILDUP: To celebrate the sartorial whirlwind who sadly departs Time+Tide today on maternity leave, we couldn’t resist revisiting our Content Director Ceri David’s genius idea from Baselworld 2016, which was to basically ‘live pair’ all the new releases with creative wardrobe choices. It was a huge hit with readers, and – looking at the list a … ContinuedThe post BASEL BUILDUP: 4 days to go.

INTRODUCING: See the world as never before with the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time

Not content to wow us with an exceptionally assured and complex SIHH collection, Vacheron Constantin have just announced their latest, highly limited (like, 10 pieces limited) version of the Traditionnelle World Time, originally shown in 2011. First of all, this 42.5mm Traditionelle is cased in platinum. Most of the time that’s special enough, but in … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: See the world as never before with the Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle World Time appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BASEL BUILDUP:  Seiko’s impact at Baselworld last year was measurable on the Richter scale. If it wasn’t the aftershocks of the Seiko Presage Chronograph 60th Anniversary Limited Edition it was watches like the Grand Seiko Spring Drive SBGD001. Hard model name to remember. Easy watch to be wooed by. The dial doesn’t quite sparkle in these pictures like it does … ContinuedThe post BASEL BUILDUP: 5 days to go.

BASEL BUILDUP: Will it happen again? Will Rolex put a ceramic bezel on an existing watch and break Baselworld? Rumours abound we may see just that on the ‘Coke’ GMT-Master II, which has been mocked up here by those resourceful Rolex rumourmongers at Monochrome.

Vacheron Constantin bucked the trend this year at SIHH. While many of their fellow exhibitors played it safe, bringing out crowd-pleasing steel models and revisiting their greatest hits, Vacheron Constantin walked another path, with a collection focused at the very highest end of horology. Not only did they offer mind-numbingly complex astronomical grand complication and a … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Vacheron Constantin 2017 collection – the most complicated of SIHH appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

BASEL BUILDUP: One of the great things about Basel is the interviews. All the key players are in one place, and to use sporting parlance, when the doors open and the cameras roll, it is game on.
