There is nothing as hype these days as the 1970s steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet. To make it short, they are everywhere and at every imaginable price point. The style is so popular that even high-end indie watchmakers and micro-brands are jumping on the bandwagon. Can we blame them? Surely not, as it’s […]
Coming up on three years ago, Australia had one of the most lethal summers for wildfires – we call them bushfires down here – on record. It was, quite literally, a nightmare. During the days, the skies would darken to a point where cars would use headlights at midday. But it wasn’t thunderstorm, or night-time … Continued

There is a strong allure to the simple time-only watch. Without all the complications to distract us, these watches instead rely heavily on their design. And more than anything, the design of a watch is what stays with us the longest. Just think about it. History is littered with such enthralling references; from the Panerai … Continued

Picture this. But before you do, take a deep breath. Clear your mind of anything else. It’s night. There are sheets of rain falling. The smell of smoke. A viaduct looms like a bird of doom in the darkness. You’re not entirely sure where you are, but it’s the outskirts of some city. You can … Continued

Alright, it’s not because our friends of Time+Tide come from Australia that this watch is upside down (well, in fact, they do live upside down, according to some beliefs… anyway…) No, there’s another reason behind this very, very confusing watch. Confusion is the master word here, and it all goes back to a meeting between […]
Since its resurrection a few years ago – we’ve listed the brand in our recent buying guide on recently-revived historic brands – Nivada Grenchen has been hard at work, providing nicely designed and well-priced watches with a retro feel. It all started with the revamped Chronomaster, followed by funky models such as the “Pac-Man” Depthmaster […]
One of the most popular categories of watches in recent years is the revival watch. Bringing back a historic model and paying tribute in a very faithful manner can result in truly cool watches. And it’s not something done only by mainstream manufacturers like Longines or Tissot, but also by smaller, lesser-known manufacturers. And it […]
A couple of weeks ago, we explored the comeback of a niche but cult brand specialised in instrument watches, Nivada Grenchen. Mostly known for its Chronomaster watch, also known as the “Super Chronograph” due to its combination of features, a look at the history of the brand reveals far more fascinating watches, pioneers in their […]
About a week ago, we introduced you to a rather cool watch, the Nivada Grenchen Depthmaster, which marked the return of a highly original and important model in dive watch history. What’s even more noticeable is the fact that the name Nivada Grenchen, a niche but cult brand specialized in instrumental pieces, is coming back. […]
In addition to classic models, with a clearly-defined style and set of functionalities, watchmakers also love to mix genres. What about a perpetual calendar pilot’s watch? Or a sports skeleton timepiece? There’s another combination that feels, at first, a bit unusual but that, however, became more and more popular over the years, a watch combining […]
