Hands-on discovery
Try the watches you have only seen online, compare sizes properly, and get a feel for what actually works on your wrist.
Time+Tide Watch Discovery Studios
Three cities. One shared obsession.
New York, London and Melbourne are our homes for hands-on watch discovery: curated spaces for first watches, grail-level conversations, rare independents, product launches and the kind of unhurried browsing that got us into watches in the first place.
Why we exist
A place for watch people and the watch-curious.
Time+Tide has always been about making watches feel less remote and more human. The Studios turn that idea into a physical space.
Across all three locations, the brief is the same: bring together the brands, stories and people that make modern watch collecting exciting. Expect a carefully curated mix of cult favourites, independent makers, limited releases and the occasional surprise, all presented by people who are as happy to talk first mechanical watches as they are obscure case finishing.
Rare, exclusive, limited
Each Studio carries a focused edit of independents, niche makers and special releases, with fresh arrivals rotating through the year.
Culture, not pressure
Drop in to browse, talk shop, attend a launch, meet other collectors or simply spend time with watches in a relaxed setting.
Hands-on culture
Events, showcases and real-world discovery are part of the Studio rhythm because watches make more sense on the wrist than they do in a spec sheet.
Our locations

From SoHo to Oxford Circus to the Paris end of Collins Street, each Studio has its own local rhythm but the same Time+Tide welcome.
