HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943

It would be easy to dismiss the Luminor Due - Panerai’s latest fully fledged line - as a collection oriented towards women. After all, it’s the collection that houses 38 and 42mm watches. But the fact that I am on record as being more than a little partial to the 42mm model aside, there are … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: A Panerai for the suit and tie – the Luminor Due PAM00943 appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronometer – streamlined and launched in luxury

In my eyes there’s no better backdrop than the French Riviera to launch a luxury dive watch. And it seems Ulysse Nardin think so too, unveiling four new iterations of their Diver Chronometer amongst the glamour and affluence at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show. Plotting a cleaner bearing for the collection with a host of … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The Ulysse Nardin Diver Chronometer – streamlined and launched in luxury appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

WHAT SEALED THE DEAL: On Nathan’s Omega Speedmaster “Tintin”

The story of Omega’s Speedmaster “Tintin” is the tale of a watch that almost never was. The same goes for Nathan and his red-and-white chequered dial Speedy. When did you first see/hear about it? I have always found the most interesting watches to be unique variations of classic designs. The Tintin fits this description perfectly, … ContinuedThe post WHAT SEALED THE DEAL: On Nathan’s Omega Speedmaster “Tintin” appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

I have a not-so-secret love in my heart for Antiques Roadshow - specifically the UK version, but the US version is pretty good, too.

I don’t think we’d be telling anyone anything new by saying vintage is sooo hot right now.

HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept

Few colours have the symbolic weight of black. It’s meaningful in pretty much every culture. It’s associated - naturally enough - with darkness, mourning and solemnity, and with endings and beginnings. It’s also a colour of power and authority. All these associations and emotions are tied up in Moser’s latest conceptual piece, the Endeavour Perpetual … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The impossible blackness of Moser’s Endeavour Perpetual Moon Concept appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

Editor’s note: The watch industry is, in general, pretty big on segmentation. According to them, we should be wearing something different for every different activity in our lives.

September was very much a mix of cars and watches, which understandably go hand in hand. The strongest commonality between the two hobbies? The collectors - and their unwavering passion.

I mean, it’s a neutral colour, like white, silver, or grey, yet just by adding a heavy dose of toner, an entire watch can be transformed.

Watches. Turns out they’re not (just) for telling the time. As horology’s true believers (that is, you lot) will no doubt be aware, watches are more than mere objects.

Tantalum, what’s that, I hear you say. Well, allow me to explain. Tantalum is a highly corrosion-resistant bluish-grey metal with an extreme hardness and high boiling point.
