Yes, we did say Pocket Watches. In fact, this year more than ever before, we have witnessed a stunning resurgence of pocket watches for men that makes this category of watches one of the most exciting and elegant on the market.
The inspiration for watches vary from designer to designer. From aviation to cars; designers can struggle to stay unique. The TACS Automatic Vintage Lens has done just that. At TACS, we have taken the look and feel of the camera and combined it with a sophisticated and sleek Japanese look.

What do a classic car rally, handmade hunting rifles and mechanical watches have in common? The answer is Lebeau-Courally. The company was founded in 1805 and is well known in Royal families for its handmade hunting rifles and has moved into the field of haute-horlogerie by acquiring Le Locle based IMH. Lebeau-Courally is a platinum sponsor of the Zoute Grand Prix Rally. In part 2 of this article we will focus on Lebeau-Courally and their newest timepiece, the beautiful Phase de Lune with 18 layers of enamel.

It’s also a watch that you need to see shimmering and flashing in real life to truly appreciate.
The post GONE IN 60 SECONDS: Dress blues – the Bell & Ross BR 126 Aeronavale video review appeared first on Time and Tide Watches.
The curiously named Enraged Editions are Romain Gauthier’s take on a cutting edge aesthetic, with the all-black treatment applied to both the chain-and-fusee Logical One and time-only HMS – short for “hours, minutes, seconds”. While very different from the typical Romain Gauthier timepiece, the Enraged Editions stick to the well worn formula of a sporty-ish, all-black look that […]
