VIDEO: A just-for-fun comic inspired by the IWC Portugieser
Editor’s Note: You think you know someone. When Felix had the idea to tell a story about a fictional IWC Portugieser wearer through the visual medium of a comic book strip I was intrigued.

HANDS-ON: JLC’s mean machine – the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic, now in black and pink gold
This Jaeger-LeCoultre is a great example of just how true the old saying about assumptions is. You see, it’s easy to pigeonhole JLC as producing only fine, delicate and dressy watches – classic Reversos, or smart vintage-inspired pieces, for example. And while it’s true that this style of watchmaking is their bread and butter, that … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: JLC’s mean machine – the Master Compressor Chronograph Ceramic, now in black and pink gold appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

HOW TO: Start your own ‘minimalist’ watch brand
We all have friends who wear watches made by brands like Daniel Wellington and The Horse. We also all know that these watches are, essentially, identical.

INTRODUCING: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic lives up to its name
In 1939 when two Portuguese merchants approached IWC about making a wristwatch with the same levels of accuracy usually seen in marine chronometer pocket watches, they had no idea it would be the beginning of a legend and the birth of one of IWC’s most popular collections. With a new slightly revised design, IWC have launched … ContinuedThe post INTRODUCING: The IWC Portugieser Chronograph Classic lives up to its name appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.

VIDEO: Piaget 2017 collection overview proves thin is still in
Piaget‘s pioneering Altiplano has been impressing since 1957, and given that watch brands love nothing more than an anniversary, we were expecting plenty of that barely-there silhouette in the collection at SIHH. And that’s fair enough, when you consider that, 60 years on, mechanical watches still don’t come any slimmer than the Altiplano. Even so, we weren’t quite prepared for just … ContinuedThe post VIDEO: Piaget 2017 collection overview proves thin is still in appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
