The Nezumi Aviera is a GMT that looks like nothing else

If you read Time+Tide, you know very well that GMTs are as popular as they have ever been. I would actually say, much more popular.

Stella, the New York-based brand and brainchild of co-owners Stephen and Marcella (see where they got the name from), are one of the few who have managed to establish a beautiful … Continued

The Casio x Stranger Things A120WEST-1A is ready for whatever parallel universe you’re entering

Casio’s collaboration with Stranger Things brings back the reference A120. The A120WEST-1A is full of Stranger Things Easter eggs such as a blinking backlight. More A120 references should be released later in the year. Stranger Things certainly didn’t begin the nostalgic obsession for the 1980s, but it definitely kicked it into another gear.
