FRIDAY WIND DOWN: Events in Sydney, Perth and going hands-on with a funky new ’70s Tissot

Nick Kenyon

It was the week of events for Time+Tide, even if they were nearly 4000 kilometres apart. Andrew changed timezones flying to Perth for the second Time+Tide Club event of the year so far, spotting a few very nice watches on the wrists of our Western Australian club members. At the same time, I was in Sydney with the team from Jaeger-LeCoultre, celebrating their new Australian boutiques and some very special timepieces that had been gathered together for the evening.

At the Time+Tide Club event in Perth, Andrew had his work cut out for him just taking in all of the incredible watches that were in the room with him. From Patek Philippe and Rolex to Laurent Ferrier and Hublot, there was wall-to-wall wrist-candy on display.

It was the first time we had been able to host a Time+Tide Club event in Perth since very early in 2020, so it was a great opportunity to reconnect with so many old friends as well as make a few new ones. If you’re wondering why we haven’t had an event in your city yet, don’t worry. We are planning more events for the Time+Tide Club in Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane in the coming months.

Have a fantastic weekend,
