Watch Dandy

We’re pretty sure that most of you are already aware of just how absurdly ridiculous Mr John Mayer’s watch collection is, thanks to myriad Instagram posts, news stories and two rather famous Talking Watches episodes. But the sheer scope and significance of the musician’s horological haul still tends to beggar belief, especially if you’ve ever wondered what it must all be worth. Well, consider the wondering over, at least for some of his collection, because a rather enthusiastic chap on the interwebs has gone and tallied up the total value of 27 of Mayer’s prized possessions. Granted, the estimates are in American dollars but, still, if we had to guess what the 41-year-old Grammy winner’s collection equated to in local currency it would be comparable to the value of a stately Mosman or Toorak mansion. Anyway, Mayer’s quite clearly got some form of clairvoyance (that Daytona collection!) and you can check out the full breakdown of all 27 of the watches over at rescapement.com.

It seems like only yesterday that Breitling released their Navitimer 1 Airline Editions. Evidently, time doesn’t stop for the aeronautically enthusiastic watchmaker, though, because they’ve just dropped this – the Breitling Aviator 8 Day & Date 41 Etihad Airways Limited Edition.   Based on Breitling’s standard Aviator 8 Day & Date 41, the Etihad Airways edition sees the 41mm timepiece score a black dial with contrasting Arabic numerals, as well as the hour, minute and second hands being finished in a distinctive rose gold colour.   The quirky dial is actually a first for Breitling, as the Swiss watchmaker has never before produced a timepiece that incorporates the Arabic language into the dial, with the numerals and day and date complications all featuring the world’s fifth most spoken language. Finished in black steel, the collaborative timepiece is equipped with Breitling’s tried and true Caliber 45 movement. The in-house workhorse is self-winding, chronometer certified and offers owners a maximum of 45 hours of power reserve.   Launched during New York Fashion Week by Emirates at a VIP event celebrating the airline and watchmaker’s third year of partnership, the limited edition Aviator 8 Day & Date 41 Etihad Airways has also been…

As of 6pm today, the Time+Tide shop is the only place in Australia and New Zealand that you can buy DOXA watches. Browse our range, and buy several models, including a Limited Edition for under $2K right now. It will come as news to very few of you that this is one heck of a legendary brand. First helium valve on a general public diver’s watch, legendary. Jacques Cousteau, legendary. Owning orange, legendary. We are mildly freaking – and geeking – out to introduce so much more of DOXA to you, in all of its historical, colourful and, yes, orange-dial-drenched glory.   We are offering a full range of DOXA watches, including the just-released, and GPHG-nominated SUB 200 range — which starts at $1550 on rubber. And before you ask, yes, indeed, we have secured a generous allocation of 30 pieces of the 130th Anniversary SUB 200 Limited Edition (of 130 pieces), which sells for $1890. You wanted it. You got it. Other classic models in the line-up include the SUB 300T, a reinterpretation of the SUB 300T Conquistador released in 1969, which was the first general public diver’s watch equipped with a helium release valve. Several of the collections are available for…
