TAG Heuer Reboots a 1990s Classic with the New Link Lady
A reboot of the original, the new Link Lady features the unusual combination of a cushion-shaped case and sculpted s-shaped links. As anyone who was young in the late 1980s or 1990s can attest, the TAG Heuer S/el – short for “sport elegance” – was one of the quintessential watches of the era. Endlessly copied and […]

Eternal Seduction: Allure of the Bulgari Serpenti
When it comes to the symbolism of the Bulgari Serpenti, there’s an allure as eternal as the drama which unfolded in the opening pages of the Book of Genesis. Chauvinists would talk about how Eve was tempted by a serpent but in essence, it’s Adam’s sin of acquiescence and not Eve’s. Biblically speaking, Eve…
Seven Superb Watches with Meteorite Dials
BY Roberta Naas
The sky has enthralled man since the dawn of time. From the starts to the moon and sun, it is a never-ending source of mystery and inspiration.

ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 13 – The Panerai PAM 655 Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio
“I’m dreaming of a white Christmas…” and also of this distinctly unexpected white-dialled Panerai we saw unveiled at SIHH right at the beginning of the year. It managed to charm, inveigle and confound the team, whose responses ranged the gamut of eye-based expressions, from a heart-eye emoji all the way up to a slightly squinty suspicion. The fact is, while we associate the Italian brand with the warm dark tones of single malt whisky and fine tobacco, this lighter, brighter take on the Radiomir is still 100 per cent Panerai. Who should you buy for: The Paneristi who already has every dark-dialled Panerai in the book. What’s the damage: Under $15k Panerai PAM 655 Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio Australian pricing Panerai PAM 655 in steel, $13,600
The post ADVENT CALENDAR 2016: December 13 – The Panerai PAM 655 Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic Acciaio appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.

Review: Chopard LUC Full Strike Minute Repeater
The Chopard LUC manufacture has come a long way. Two decades, in fact. 2016 celebrates the 20th year that Karl-Frederich Scheufele realised his vision of a manufacture movement. Beginning rather tentatively with the LUC 1.96, then progressing to the in-house chronograph. Steadily, the manufacture honed her skills, and with the Strike One,…
