Tech billionaire chic: the watches of the tech sector elite
James Robinson
Billionaires … they’re a rare breed. In fact, according to a report from CNBC in 2019, out of the earth’s total population of roughly 7.7 billion people, there are just 2604 that can claim to have 10 figures in their bank account. More interesting still is that this same report posited that America has more bil.................. 22.02.20 More
HANDS-ON: Oris Big Crown Bronze Pointer Date
Bruce Duguay
I have to admit that up until this month I all but ignored bronze watches. It seemed like a lingering trend that just didn't make a lot of sense to me, in photos anyway. Because I'm in my late 30s and not my early 20s, I decided that this kind of pre-judgement was beneath me, and that I should probably try wearing bronze before la.................. 22.02.20 More

Ulysse Nardin Classico Ladies' Watch Hands-on Review
Ceri David
We're all taught the colours of the rainbow from pre-school, so it's amazing how many of us grow up to wear only black. Anything brighter is definitely viewed as a risk, which is why smaller wardrobe items are a great starting point for that gamble. For guys, it might be a patterned pocket square or the flash of contrasting sock, wh.................. 22.02.17 More

The new Mercedes-AMG IWC Mark XX is the best one yet
As the driver’s license-less, NYC-born editor for Time+Tide, I can honestly say I am not a car guy.

Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 42mm | HANDS ON
Jamie Weiss
These days, we're used to seeing mechanical watches with 70-hour-plus power reserves, but ultra-long power reserves are still something of a niche offering. That’s a shame, as they’re arguably one of the most useful features a watch can have. However, a big power reserve often means a big watch. That’s why the new.................. 22.01.25 More

Some chapters of our sexual lives are best left behind – so why aren’t erotic watches dead and buried?? This question sprung to mind last week after reports of Conor McGregor's latest watch purchase.

Few sports so frequently, and so intensely, show the individual under pressure as Grand Slam tennis singles.

This was my 12th consecutive watch fair, so you'd think I'd be used to it by now.
