Editor’s Note: It started with a post on LinkedIn by Richard Branson, which was titled ‘Great Beards come with Great Responsibility‘. My first thought was of a guy we’ve bumped into a few times in our travels with Time+Tide, Mr Jimmy Niggles.…
Editor’s Note: Perhaps it’s because Ceri has been spotting them on the wrists of the rich and famous, or maybe it’s thanks to the handsome green-dialled version released at Baselworld that we’re still more than a little infatuated with.

So, charge your glasses with something that possesses refreshing citrus notes and find out what happened this week in watches.…
