MICRO MONDAYS: The global launch of the Undone Aero – First-Class looks for the cost of Coach
Undone has got to be one of the best in the business when it comes to making uber-affordable, attractive, quality timepieces for the enthusiast. We’ve spent a lot of time with quite a few of their watches now, and given the amount they offer, for such a low RRP, they’re pretty much in a class of one. Spend even a modicum of time with any of the Hong Kong watchmaker’s offerings, and it also becomes immediately apparent that the team behind the brand really cares about the history of horology, and they want to celebrate it. The latest incarnation of their now-established ethos is this – the Undone Aero. Paying homage to Philip Van Horn Weems (better known as P.V.H. Weems), the man responsible for the first-ever rotating bezel on a wristwatch, the Aero offers a charming blend of Art Deco and contemporary design cues. Available in two distinct models – the “Scientific” and the “Commando” – both iterations promise to get the heart pumping for just about any watch aficionado with a pulse. We are proud to globally launch these models, and can also promise that any Undone Aero watches bought from Time+Tide will come with an extra Undone strap, worth…

Introducing – Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph “Bucherer BLUE”
When talking about the Royal Oak, blue dials are a natural fit. After all, the first Royal Oak featured a blue Tapisserie dial in 1972 and the colour has become somewhat of an Audemars Piguet trademark. The Royal Oak Offshore debuted in 1993 and has been a successful, highly masculine sequel to the original series. […]
INTRODUCING: The Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II White, a geometric ice palace for the wrist
Hublot’s Big Bang series has always been slightly outrageous since its 2005 release, but intentionally so. Large, loud, and undoubtedly luxurious, there could be no better candidate for a collaboration with Maxime Plescia-Büchi. The Swiss tattooist is responsible for the sprawling platform that is Sang Bleu, covering and influencing tattoos, clothing, typography, art — both visual and performative — and much more. Our first taste of a Hublot x Sang Bleu project was in 2016, with an intricately engraved wristwatch, covered in mesmerising geometric patterns across the dial, case, and even embossed into the leather strap. 2019’s Baselword witnessed the sequel piece, the Big Bang Sang Bleu II in titanium and King Gold, looking less like a modified Hublot and more like an occultist’s spaceship. Now, a new variation has been released with the same case materials, but freshening the dial with splashes of white and a complementing white rubber strap. There’s no hiding from the visual feast that is the Big Bang Sang Bleu II. From top to bottom, its detail and artistry never stops providing something to look at. The evocative style is borrowed, understandably, from Maxime Plescia-Büchi’s tattoo designs — often focusing on the macabre, hedonistic, and…
