FRIDAY WIND DOWN: 22nd May, 2015

Felix Scholz

It’s been another big week in the Time+Tide office. But this week will pale into insignificance compared to next week, our first ever Australian Watch Week. It’s going to be a good one.

What happened.

Well. This just showed up in the office. We got a little excited. We may need to sit down.

Ever wanted to know how to buy a vintage watch? Like, you know, a Jumbo Nautilus. Turns out you should be on Instagram – find out how to buy online and other golden advice over at Wound for Life.

What actually mattered.

We discovered that Carlos A. Rosillo and Bruno Belamich, the founding French duo of Bell & Ross have secret identities. Here they are describing their watches….

A brand new complication has been invented. This doesn’t happen everyday. Who needs elapsed time – we’re all about GRILL TIME. This is genius. That’s not a Smart Watch, this is a Smart Watch.

The week in numbers.

825: The number of likes the new Omega Seamaster 300 got on insta. Stay tuned for the full review

339: The number of people of who liked the Snyper watch we posted. You should all be ashamed.

5: The number of Australian watch company founders and owners we’ll be meeting at the pub, as well as some of you, this time next week.

Too many: The number of times Andrew has not-so-subtly dropped his new ‘friend’ George Clooney into conversation.

1: The number times the Bell & Ross gave us the finger.
