THE HOME OF WATCH CULTURE
Editor’s note: For some reason, the days before Baselworld always fire up my acquisitive tendencies, however hypothetical. And when it comes to hypotheticals, for watch…
If my other two lists (here and here, in case you forgot) had loose themes tying them together, this one is all over the shop,…
Editor’s note: ‘Wait list’ might well be the phrase of the year for watch fans. Demand, especially on steel sports watches, has seemingly never been…

Editor’s note: When I began the hunt for my first “good” watch I came up with a list of certain criteria: a black dial, 40…
Editors note: I wrote this story back in 2015, and I’m pleased to say that the passage of time has somewhat vindicated my opinion. Some…
I’d like to say I remember the first post we ever published on Time+Tide. But I have no idea. Was it a ‘hello world’ that…
Let me be clear from the outset, this is a ridiculous challenge. It’s clearly hypothetical and I’m pretty sure none of us has any plans…
Tom Inslay is your typical Aussie, with the obvious exception of being wholly consumed by the beautiful world of horology. He’s also got a few…
Editor’s note: If I needed any further proof that the ’90s were back in a big way, it was seeing a 20-something friend of a…
A. Lange & Söhne is a serious watchmaking brand. Everything they do is deliberate, and relentlessly on message. It would be easy to assume — based…
Well, here we are. The ‘sky’s-the-limit’/‘mortgage-the-house’ level of watch. And if you’re going to drop that sort of coin on something that (you’d hope) tells…
Think of Lange’s colour palette and the word ‘sober’ probably springs to mind. Or restrained. Limited. Calm. Muted. Subdued. Discreet. Anything but vivid and daring.…
Typography matters. The choice of font or type is a more complicated matter than merely the arrangement of letters used and the order in which…
There are few dials as instantly recognisable in the world of modern watchmaking as that of the Lange 1. This circular watch, with its off-centre…
“Money likes silence.” Several years ago, a Russian collector by the name of Nikolai (he prefers not to publish his surname) was telling me why…
While the rules about how a man should dress for formal occasions are more relaxed than in the past, they are still governed by the…

The sky’s the limit in this final instalment of the best watches of 2017 – and the entry price to this exclusive club starts at…
Whenever long-term friend (and sometime contributor) to T+T Ben Zachariah drops into the office, talk quickly turns to the fact that in every car guy…
The past month involved a fair bit of travel, a lot of coffee, and some very, very impressive timepieces. So, without any further ado, here’s…
During the day, Andy is a sharp-dressed businessman, but come sundown he’s a gym-loving, whisky-drinking major watch nerd. Although he loves watches of all shapes…
Editor’s note: We exist in a permanent fever-dream of watches. Every day we’re presented with a fresh press release promising hitherto unseen wonder and innovation,…
You don’t need to sell us on Patek’s 5711/1A. It’s the Nautilus. In fact, you might go so far as to say it’s the steel…
Sitting between the now nostalgia-laden ‘80s and the innovation explosion of the 2000s, the 1990s is seen as something of a watchmaking wasteland; a bold…
Chronographs are amongst the most popular complications with collectors. Perhaps because people use them for important timing events in their daily lives or – more…
Brandon’s one of the big personalities of the Instagram watch fam, with a revolving collection and crisp photography. He’s one of the guys behind Head2HeadCopycat and calls…
Editor’s Note: In the hurly burly hustle of endless new releases it’s sometimes important to sit back in a Chesterfield or similar with an overfull glass of…
If you take a keen interest in the world of watches, you’ve likely heard of Carson Chan. Carson works for the Fondation de la Haute…
A. Lange & Söhne’s Richard Lange Jumping Seconds is an unusual and very serious watch. The jumping seconds, or deadbeat seconds, is perhaps the most…
Editor’s Note: I don’t know what you’re watching at the moment, but in between bingeing on Gilmore Girls and Black Mirror I’ve been voraciously consuming Abstract: The…
There you have it – another year done and dusted. Now we’re all trying to get our heads around writing 2017 instead of 2106, and…
Today we’re taking another look at a video that explores the connection between tattooing and watchmaking with world-famous ink-master Benjamin Laukis. The watch in focus…
Just found some time to do a sketch based on the A. lange & Söhne Zeitwerk incorporating the Dresden Opera house clock from which it…
Even though there’s no doubt that the darlings of A. Lange & Söhne’s lineup are the more contemporarily styled pieces like the Lange One and…
Let’s begin by stating the patently obvious: A. Lange & Söhne has had a very good year. At the top end, collectors have raved about the…
When you’re young you want to be like your dad. He’s a cool guy. He’s as strong as Atlas. Everything he does is brilliant. Whatever…
When A. Lange & Söhne release a new watch there is always a collective “ooh” and “ahh” that resonates within the watch community. Germany’s most…
We’re pretty sure this doesn’t need to be said, but let’s say it anyway. Don’t buy a watch when you’re drunk. Nothing good can come from…
Story in a second: The Saxonia Thin is A. Lange & Söhne design at its most pure. One of the things that makes everyone like…
In a few short weeks Australia heads out to the festival of democracy and sausage sizzles that we like to call the Federal Election. At this…

Hasn’t the week just flown past? Well, it definitely has for Andrew, who’s spent large chunks of it in fast cars and jets, generally feeling…
Kristian Haagen walks the walk, talks the talk and owns the watches. To go to the next level in this watch caper you need some…
A. Lange & Söhne is one of the indisputable heavy-weights of the watch industry, with a credibility and cachet rivalling that of Patek Philippe. And…
A week has passed since SIHH, we’ve endured the 24-hour commute back to the office and the jetlag has finally receded. With the help of…
