HANDS-ON: Light in the darkness – the Seiko Prospex SNE493P

Late last year, Seiko announced a series of limited edition Prospex divers, featuring blacked-out cases and the evocative name of ‘The Black Series’.

HANDS-ON: The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Planétarium 

While we all know that Van Cleef & Arpels love a bit of poetry, I get the feeling that they also have a major thing for swans. Huh, what? You know, the way swans glide across the water, all elegance and beauty, no visible effort – while paddling furiously beneath the surface. Well, that’s how … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Van Cleef & Arpels Lady Arpels Planétarium  appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
