THE HOME OF WATCH CULTURE
TAG Heuer’s Basel 2019 collection had a particularly clear focus, and that focus was Autavia. It’s a watch inspired by TAG Heuer’s enviable heritage —…
Tudor’s Baselworld 2019 collection is always a hotly anticipated affair, and this year the Shield offered some stylish new takes on existing models, and a…
In case you were unaware (how is that rock you’ve been living under?), Baselworld 2019 is nearly upon us. So, while the rest of the…
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…
Thanks to some last-minute magic, I found myself pointed towards Miami for some much-needed warmth and the slew of watch industry shenanigans that was Watches…
The brief was to write a range of things you’re looking forward to seeing at Baselworld. And yes, I’m looking forward to the new Milgauss…
Walking into Bremont’s brand new Melbourne boutique, it doesn’t take long to work out the brand’s military and aviation connection. If the spartan style of…
On the off chance that you’re not, Ulysse Nardin is a brand you should be paying attention to. There’s a real energy around the Le…
Visiting the team at H. Moser & Cie. is always one of the highlights of SIHH. You never quite know what you’re going to get.…
When the idea was first hatched that we would work with IWC on auctioning a rare-in-this-condition Porsche Design by IWC Ocean 2000 ref 3504 for…
Following on from Felix’s crystal ball gazing, Sandra looks into the (not-too-distant) future and ponders just what surprises (or not) Baselworld 2019 might hold ……

Editor’s note: First of all, let me state that Cam nailed this list. He’s pulled a bunch of bangers out of left field, and they’re…
If you had any doubts about Panerai’s position as kings of the deep, their SIHH 2019 release catalogue would have dispelled them. Panerai’s hero watch…
Over the last few years, Cartier’s watch releases have been consistently impressive, alternating between savvily commercial and outrageously stunning. This year we saw that strong…
The talk of the Jaeger-LeCoultre booth at SIHH was the incredible (and incredibly well-sized) Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillon Westminster Perpétuel, but that rare bird was…
One of my highlights of SIHH every year is IWC – and not just because their booth is exceptional; this year it was dominated by…
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,…
My last list — a trio of well-priced SIHH offerings — could be neatly broken down into a loose theme of air, sea and land.…
This price bracket is a sweet spot for SIHH and the going gets tough when it comes to picking the standouts. One of the benefits…
Look, I’m going to be honest with you. Believe it or not, SIHH doesn’t have a whole lot on offer in the sub $10,000 category.…
To atone for our tardy 2018 Top 10 lists, and to prove we haven’t just spent a week in Geneva looking backwards, we’re moving quickly…
It’s lovely and ironic. We work with time every day, and yet we are no closer to mastering it. Here we are at the first…
It’s one sleep to SIHH, and the watch releases are coming thick and fast, with many of the exhibiting brands giving us a peek at…
Rado isn’t a brand that you typically think of when you think about ‘heritage’. On the one hand this makes perfect sense, as the brand…
This is among my favourite days of the year. When, from the relative peace and quiet of the gap between Christmas and New Year, there’s…
For this year’s instalment of the T+T version of “these are a few of my favourite things”, I’m going to substitute noodles, poodles, and brown…
One of my favourite things about what I do at Time+Tide is meeting some cool people (both IRL and virtually), and having some pretty awesome…
What a year it’s been! I attended my first Baselworld, reviewed more watches than ever, and wrote more words about these tiny mechanical machines than…
As 2018 comes to a close, we thought it appropriate to look back at one of our favourite brands — Tudor, who’ve had a noteworthy few…
Wow, 2018 really got away from us. I mean, I can’t believe we’re just moments away from wrapping up one hell of a year. In…
It’s not many sleeps until Christmas, and the spirit of the season has well and truly taken over in the Time+Tide office, and – as…
A little while ago I made my way down to Cartier’s Collins Street boutique in Melbourne, spent a little time amidst the glittering plinths and…
In order to think about the best women’s watches, we must first ask ourselves: “What is a women’s watch?” At Cartier, the answer is particularly…
If you’re ever in Tokyo, I strongly recommend making time for a detour to Sumida. Where? A residential area north of Tokyo Skytree – a…
If, like me, indecisiveness is your middle name, choosing your next watch can be hard. That may seem like nothing more than a #firstworldproblem to…
Editor’s note: While people who collect/amass/hoard watches might find it hard to believe, most people have only one or two good watches, and those watches…
A little under two weeks ago, Time+Tide threw a party. Ostensibly, it was to launch our new print publication, NOW. But really, you don’t need an…
If you care about watches, Geneva is the place to be right now. The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (better known to its friends as…
It would be a mistake to assume that a love of watches is just a love of watches. What might seem like a casual interest…
In about a week’s time (November 9 Swiss time, to be exact), the watch industry’s night of nights – the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève…
They say legends aren’t born, they’re made. And the immortal story of the archetypal diver’s watch, Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms, is as legendary as they come.…
October was a fun month for watch-spotting, with no discernible theme, other than perhaps gold? Even then, we kept things real — here’s a look at…
Editor’s note: Heritage is no longer a thing of the past — it’s here to stay. Retro-inspired watches are no longer just a little something…
The end of the year is fast approaching, and it’s about this time that the questions begin. “Hey Cam, what watches do you think we’ll…
Humans are, by and large, social creatures. We thrive in communities, and derive strength, support and inspiration from others. At least, that’s the view if…
While on occasion I do like to splurge and treat myself to that extra shot of espresso in my morning latte, I’m not exactly loaded…
Editor’s note: We all love a little bit of attention, right? And for a watch guy, one of the best feelings in the world is when…
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. If you’re…
We have a bit of a man crush in the Time+Tide office on English actor Tom Hardy. After a film debut in Ridley Scott’s Black…
I don’t think we’d be telling anyone anything new by saying vintage is sooo hot right now. Price escalation, predominantly driven by the vintage Rolex…
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…
The most straightforward definition of the word complication is “a difficulty”. But not to state the obvious, nothing is simple about being complicated. And as…
There are all kinds of forces at work when you’re under pressure to come up with your ‘best of the year’ lists. There’s end of…
Like for so many other people, Robin Williams was, and still is, a hero of mine. Growing up in the ’80s and ’90s, his movies…
There are watches that are tough, and then there are watches so tough that they’re guaranteed to survive in even the most extreme environments, even…
Right now in the world of watchmaking, there’s a distinctly warm and fuzzy feeling of nostalgia in the air. A sentiment that is owed in…
Editor’s note: Numbers are hard, I much prefer words. If you’re like me, then you’ve been a little slow when it comes to filing your…
2018 is a fascinating time to be a watch collector, and as we can all agree — social media has an impact on the hobby we…
A Swiss watch is a near-universally recognised symbol for quality, precision and tradition. And while that’s all well and good, there’s another thing that fine…
The idea of a ‘birth year’ watch is nothing new, though after a recent discussion I came to realise that it poses an interesting question.…
It might surprise you to know that in the first half of the last century, America was regarded as the force to be reckoned with…
Anyone with an eye on horological news has seen their fair share of “Value Propositions” and other notes and recommendations about watches delivering varying shades…
