LIST: James Robinson’s favourite watch photos from 2019

It pains me so to admit this, but oftentimes a story is only as good as the photos that accompany it — especially when you’re writing about something as intricate and nuanced as watches. A good snap of a timepiece is not only the glorious icing on a particularly wordy cake, it actually assists us scribes in helping to articulate different facets of a given wristwatch. In short, a good photo is crucial in this game. Luckily for us here at Time+Tide, our photographer is a chap named Jason … and he’s a bloody wonderful photographer. And when Deputy-Editor Nick Kenyon said he wanted me to pick my favourite watch photos from 2019 that Jason had taken, I did so with verve. Here they are.

Chopard’s Alpine Eagle has been similarly divisive. But photos like this prove why the watch should be praised – its dial is genuinely gorgeous.

A potentially controversial choice, considering I’m fortunate enough to own one of DOXA’s stunning SUB 200 130th Anniversary timepieces. This photo just does a brilliant job at capturing how attractive this watch is in the metal.

This photo expertly brings to light why I consider the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Chronograph to have one of the most beautiful dials in the game at any price point.
