Launched in 2015, the Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision is the brand’s vision (pun intended) of a pure and clean watch, a piece that doesn’t scream too loud its noble origins and that discreetly display the time, a small second and a tourbillon. All of that was encased in a very round watch (not usual for the brand) and, well, it is just as plain as a Greubel Forsey can be. Still, turn it back and you’ll see an incredible level of finish and a fast-rotating tourbillon. The Greubel Forsey Tourbillon 24 Secondes Vision will see new versions for the SIHH 2017 and will now be offered with 4 dials options, including the very appealing Salmon version on top of this article (and I know someone at the Monochrome redaction who’ll love it).
Everyday-ready and eminently wearable, the new Raven Trekker 40 is the sort of meat-and-potatoes dive watch that makes you want to quit desk diving for the rest of your days.
On Monday morning, the most unpronounceable fair of them all, the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie – mercifully reduced 100 per cent of the time to ‘SIHH’ – will open its doors in Geneva. But you don’t need to wait until then to get the lowdown on the major scoops and scandals. Thanks to our never-fail combination of crystal ball + global network of industry insiders, informants and assorted street urchins we’ve compiled seven of the most jaw-dropping rumours doing the rounds in the days before SIHH 2017.* Read on… if you dare. Panerai and H. Moser & Cie join forces to create the Luminor ‘Toastie’ In a surprising spirit of collaboration, Panerai has worked with H. Moser & Cie. to create the PAM 00123456 – a Luminor 1950-cased watch featuring a distinctive sandwich dial crafted from carbon-infused bread that’s been flame-treated to give it a distinctive ‘toast’ patina. Embedded between these two ‘slices’ is a fine layer of Vacherin Mont d’Or cheese (offcuts from Moser’s Swiss Mad watch) that’s been slightly melted to create a particularly tasty look. Greubel Forsey to meet market demands with new quartz watch In a telling sign of the rapidly changing global market, high-end wunderkinds Greubel Forsey are slated…
The post LIST: 7 shocking rumours ahead of SIHH 2017 appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.
Welcome to the first Wind Down of 2017! And, as much as the last posts of 2016 were all about looking back at the year that was, this one sees us gazing into the future, attempting to part the fog and get a clearer picture of what the year ahead holds. To be honest though, our view will be far clearer by next week, as much of the team is jetting off to SIHH tomorrow, where we’ll quickly get a much better sense of where the wider industry is at. Consider that fair warning: there will be a veritable barrage of new models hitting your feeds next week. We suggest pouring yourself some of the hard stuff to be amply prepared. What happened? Before we get down to the Wind Down’s more serious prognostications, do yourself a favour and watch this video for 2:28. And we don’t mean that in a must-watch internet hyperbole sense. Actually watch it. It’s the latest promo video from H. Moser & Cie who, a few years back, rickrolled everyone in spectacular fashion with their Swiss smart watch. Well, they’re back, this time tilting at the windmill of ‘Swiss Made’ as well as managing to make some surprisingly hilarious jabs…

Appealingly sporty and relatively affordable – the basic version sells for just over US$5000 or S$7000 – the Carrera Heuer-01 is TAG Heuer‘s bestselling chronograph. Previously only available in steel, titanium or gold, the Heuer-01 is now available entirely in black ceramic. The case middle, bezel and lugs are in smooth, sandblasted black ceramic, with the option […]
The first time someone meets me in public, the conversation typically goes something like this: Them: “Hey, can you get me a discount on that new Rolex, Omega, Lange, or whatever?” Me: “Nah, I really can’t.” After the awkwardness subsides there, the next question is usually, “Okay, so then who’s next on Talking Watches?” And, usually, I have a handful of names with which to respond that might mean something to said John Q. Public – like a professional baseball player (with exceptionally good taste in watches and cameras), a noted writer (with exceptionally good taste in cars and comedy), or a watch-world intellectual, or perhaps even a well-known collector. Today, however, you’re getting none of that.
As a pre-Baselworld 2017 treat, Omega today announces a new flavor of Speedmaster with the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Automatic Master Chronometer watch that features a “racing dial.” With accents in sporty orange and the distinctive style of minute track associated read more…
Oris has steadily released a ton of hits over the past year. We’ve seen several new dive watches from the Swiss manufacture, including color updates to the Divers Sixty-Five, and a jazz-inspired dress watch. This year for Baselworld (yes, we are already talking about Baselworld), Oris is unveiling a new, fully in-house developed movement for a new watch that features a so-called “business calendar” complication. Here’s a first look at the Oris Artelier Calibre 113.
