Since its facelift in 2013, the Master Ultra-Thin Perpetual has appeared in various guises, including the sleek black dial version we saw in 2016. However, I think there is unanimous agreement that the 2019 white gold version with its blue enamel guilloché dial wins hands down. Released as part of a limited edition trilogy, including the Master Ultra-Thin Moon Enamel and Tourbillon models, the new members of the Master-Thin Enamel family stole the show. The watch we will be looking at today comes with a revised movement and display and indicates the phases of the Moon in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Our latest limited edition combines a dial inspired by old world charm with a case made of cutting-edge Ceratanium®.
Blancpain has a flair for offering women watches that look feminine without stinting on the mechanics. In fact, this particular watch flaunts two complications and reveals its mechanical heart on the reverse side. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Blancpain releases a special edition of its Villeret Quantième Phases de Lune. Equipped with the […]
As far as international watch fairs go, SIHH is great. If highly complex, mind-blowing timepieces are your jam, it’s the one for you. After all, it’s the Haute Horlogerie fair. But things get a touch trickier if you (like I suspect many of our readers) are into simpler fare, more suitable for daily duty. Never fear though, for amidst the tourbillons and astronomical complications there’s some incredible value to be had. Like these four watches … Montblanc Heritage Automatic Montblanc’s revamped Heritage collection was one of the real winners from SIHH, a collection oozing in stylish nostalgia and charm. No small part of that charm is due to the complex, domed dials with sophisticated finishes and mix of printed and applied details. And while this collection encompasses high-end chronographs, a GMT and a Day-Date, I’m quite smitten by this 40mm time-only offering with the warm, coppery toned salmon dial. From 2150 euro. IWC Pilot’s Watch Automatic Spitfire IWC’s Pilot’s line is — unsurprisingly, given its utilitarian and attractive style — one of the brand’s strongest performers, and this year saw a crop of the best high-flying releases in a good while. Amidst the bold new materials and aviation-inspired complications, it was the…
The post LIST: 4 awesome everyday watches from SIHH 2019 that you can actually afford appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.
A new hand-wound movement, a thinner case profile, and crowd-pleasing urushi lacquer dials from Grand Seiko.
A plastic watch designed by a sort-of-famous pig. Nope, it’s not April 1st.
Grand Seiko watches are undeniably great pieces. With a design all their own and an overall quality of execution that is unquestionable (for both the mechanics and the habillage), few of Seiko’s watches can be classified as elegant dress pieces with thin profiles. For Baselworld 2019, Grand Seiko embraces the path of thinness and refinement, […]
Two Moons, two dial treatments, one pleasantly celestial wristwatch.
Inspired by a pocket watch created by Pierre Jaquet-Droz in the 18thcentury, the Grande Seconde embodies the essential Jaquet Droz style. Its artful simplicity feels timeless yet modern. Yet, with the Grande Seconde Skelet-One introduced in 2018, Jaquet Droz ventured into a more technical and dynamic territory. Doing away with its dial, it offers a new design language for the brand. As a preview of its 2019 collection, the brand now releases a new, more modern version of the model clad in black and blue. Here’s an early hands-on look.
