Rado HyperChrome Bronze – ceramic May 8, 2018

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.

INTRODUCING: The big bad Hublot Big Bang MP-11 14-Days 3D Carbon

Given how much Hublot unveiled in Geneva back in January, the volume of additional novelties the brand had ready to go for Baselworld 2018 came as a bit of a surprise. Though nearly faced with a little analysis paralysis, given the broad range of models to choose from, getting a closer look at the Big … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The big bad Hublot Big Bang MP-11 14-Days 3D Carbon appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Watch brands and sporting tie-ins. It’s a combo as old as time(keeping). We see it all the time. But you know what we don’t see all the time? Curling. Funnily enough, the sport of sliding large granite stones across sheets of ice hasn’t made too much of an impact on our sun-drenched shores, so when … ContinuedThe post NEWS: Oak & Oscar’s one-of-a-kind Olympic watch appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

LIST: 7 of the best sub-$5000 watches of Basel 2018 – from beyond the glitz of Hall 1

Much of the hype of Baselworld is transfixed on the monolithic Hall 1, where the majority of the media attention is focused on the big industry players from the Swatch Group and LVMH, as well as big indies like Rolex and Patek Philippe. But beyond the glitz, there’s another Baselworld. Hall 2, located across the … ContinuedThe post LIST: 7 of the best sub-$5000 watches of Basel 2018 – from beyond the glitz of Hall 1 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: Today’s review is a little unusual on several accounts. Most significantly it’s of a watch that’s been discontinued for seven years. Given this fact, Bruce (of BLNR fame) has written a more personal, evocative piece, which makes sense as much ink has already been shed in tribute to the details and intricacies of … ContinuedThe post IN-DEPTH: Future classic?

TAG Heuer have, much like Marty McFly and Doc Brown, gone back to the future with their latest partnership, with Gulf Oil International.

The name of this watch gives much away about its romantic, dare we even say, poetic roots. Seiko do not usually name their watches. This makes them very difficult to tell your friends about.

The petite Montblanc Bohème Day & Night isn’t exactly bohemian, nor are any of Montblanc’s timepieces really, but as much as this watch has all the signs of studied fine watchmaking, the viewer has to acknowledge the Day & Night is a little romantic.

Fundamentally, there’s not a whole lot of variation in watch movements.

One of the secrets of the Omega Aqua Terra’s success is its versatile charm.

One of the great paradoxes of the Swiss watch industry is that, broadly speaking, it is locked into a cycle that demands shiny new watch releases (often referred to as novelties) on a yearly basis. Pretty much without exception, these are all watches that are often intended to last a generation or three.

In Australian rules football (AFL) there is a particular type of defensive move called the ‘don’t argue’. It involves fending off an opponent with an outstretched arm, usually at full pace.
