Introducing – Ressence Type 1 Slim X
Ten years ago, a brand that would soon become one of the most respected yet unusual members of the independent watchmaking scene was launched… in Belgium (that’s already something). From the early days, Ressence made things its own way, mostly relying on innovation and modernity, and one important feature, the ROCS display module. Where most […]
Introducing: The Ressence Type 1 Slim X, An ‘Hourglass For The Wrist’

Could your watch give you COVID? Expert reveals why your timepiece could increase your chances of infection and how to stop it
You’re washing your hands multiple times a day. You’re trying to social distance wherever possible. You’re taking such precautions in order to minimise the potential spread of COVID-19. But what are you doing about your watch? Think about it for a second. Your watch accompanies you practically everywhere, it’s in direct physical contact with your body and the outside world and you rarely wash it (if ever). It’s therefore never going to be an entirely sterile object. That was emphatically demonstrated by a February study when the Department of Biological Sciences at Florida Atlantic University swabbed 20 watches for germs. Four of the watches were found to have E. coli on them while nine watches harboured staph. None of which is particularly savoury. But in the middle of a global pandemic the stakes have got significantly higher. After all, research published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that microbes of coronavirus can linger for up to 72 hours on stainless steel surfaces. So could the watch that’s glinting on your wrist right now potentially be carrying the virus? That’s the question Time+Tide put to Dr Lotti Tajouri, Associate Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Bond University and one of…

The legendary chronograph maker Angelus staged a comeback in 2015 with a collection of highly engineered timepieces.

Presented once again in a CTP carbon & titanium case, their calibre […]
Introducing – Czapek Faubourg de Cracovie California Dreamin’ (Live Pics & Price)
Czapek expands its Faubourg de Cracovie chronograph collection with the incorporation of this California Dreamin’ model. Although its name will have you humming the Mamas & the Papas 1965 hit song, it has nothing to do with nostalgia for California sunshine. Nor does it have anything to do with the historic figure of François Czapek, […]
Attention all! You can preorder TAG Heuer's 3 recent limited editions online right now, including Fragment Design and Montreal 160th
So, remember how TAG Heuer pretty much stopped the show at LVMH’s Dubai Watch Week at the start of this year with their stunning Carrera 160 Years Silver? Remember how much you, and pretty much every other person in our community, immediately wanted one, only to be told that all 1860 examples were sold out? Well, turns out, they weren’t. In fact, TAG Heuer’s three best limited edition releases of this year thus far – the aforementioned Carrera 160 Years Silver, the ultra funky Carrera 160 Years Montreal and the fresh to death Fragment Design Chronograph – are available for online pre-order (depending on your location, though most are reportedly covered), and we’ve got the links. This is very handy for people who are unable to get to a boutique to place an order, which is many of us in the pandemic-stricken age. But first, patience my dears, let’s remind ourselves of a little bit about each of these great chronos. TAG Heuer Carrera 160 Years Silver T+T founder Andrew McUtchen said the Carrera 160 Years Silver “might be the perfect watch”, and that sentiment is very, very accurate. Just look at it: it’s simple, elegant, restrained and timeless – it is…
