Happy Easter everyone. It’s Good Friday down here in Melbourne, so this edition of the Wind Down will be brief, as the office is closed and I’m penning this between nibbles of hot cross bun and wines in the sun. Not a bad way to spend the day at all. Hope your day off is … ContinuedThe post GOOD FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 14th April, 2017 – the Easter edition appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Last week we published a video of our top picks from Baselworld 2017.

One of the last people I saw before I left Australia for SIHH in January was James Marsden. He was on television, in dusty dungarees, with a vest, boots and a cowboy hat. His face was etched with pain. He’d just been shot by Ed Harris. Again. The television show is Westworld, the character is Teddy, … ContinuedThe post INTERVIEW: “Safe queens are the worst.” Actor James Marsden explains just what kind of watch geek he is, and we are feeling him appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

We knew it, as soon as we tried it on. You guys knew it too, judging by the comments, which have usually gone something like, “I’d never been that interested in Bulgari before, but….” And naturally Bulgari knew it, which is why their booth at Baselworld dedicated its grandest display space to tell the story: … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: 3 of the best new watches from Bulgari, including that one you’re secretly into… appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

The ‘Longines Time Machine’ is a series of videos exploring the Swiss watchmaker’s 185-year-old history.

There is definitely a case to be made for letting the dust settle on the wrist before throwing out definitive lists like, for example, a top 11 from Baselworld 2017 actually recorded at Baselworld about five days through the six day fair.

All the clever, novel watches with fresh complications – from the likes of Manufacture Royale, Jaquet Droz and Chanel – will enjoy deep coverage from the rest of our team, so I gave myself a different task: pick the five that I’d purchase with my own cash. It doesn’t get more honest than that.

Dive watches, almost by their very definition, tend to be oversized creatures from the deep. Historically the reasons for the chunky cases and gargantuan proportions were very clear, these watches were pushing the boundaries of what was possible – serious tools for a serious purpose.

One watch leapt out at me from Oris’ 2017 collection – the Chronoris Date.
