VIDEO: The 2020 Longines Heritage Collection is pure class, from the tuxedo to the skies and the trenches
If you’re a regular reader of Time+Tide, it should come as no surprise that the Longines Heritage Collection has gone from strength to strength over the last few years. An early sign of the success that was to come was the Longines Heritage Diver 1967 in 2015 (a watch that was kindly donated to the Time+Tide Watch & Act! auction for the Australian bushfire crisis), and again with the Longines Heritage 1945 in 2017. But while you might expect that Longines had used all its dry powder over the last half-decade, they have released one of the best Heritage Collections yet in 2020. Here, we take a look at five of our favourites. Included in the winning references is a selection that shows the diversity of the Longines Heritage Collection, which covers dress watches, chronographs, military-style watches and aviation watches. Each piece is inspired by the rich archives of the brand, and demonstrates the important legacy that Longines has built over almost two centuries. For more, visit Longines here.

Introducing – Chronoswiss Open Gear ReSec Chocolate (Live Pics & Price)
We got our first look at the Chronoswiss Open Gear ReSec at Baselworld 2019 and were impressed with its bold styling and integration of retrograde seconds to the regulator set-up. The guilloché dial stood out with a three-dimensional “solar” pattern that really caught the light and added to the busy look (certainly not in a […]

One of the brightest and most dynamic minds in the world of watchmaking, Aldis Hodge, has been appointed as a Trustee of the Horological Society of New York today.

6 tips for avoiding dreaded watch buyer's remorse
Editor’s note: I don’t know about you, but all this turmoil and uncertainty in the world lately has had my watch browsing time going through the roof. It’s a safe place. A happy place. But with much browsing comes much danger. A few drinks. Late into the night. Then boom. You’ve hit the button. You’ve bought another watch. Cam compiled this handy checklist for avoiding bad decisions a couple of years ago, and it’s never been more relevant. Be safe out there folks, nobody needs to compound a crisis with gut-wrenching remorse. I think we’ve all found ourselves in a similar situation to this before: you wake up, the morning after a big night out and all is seemingly well. At least until the night’s events start trickling back into your mind’s eye, and an odd sensation begins to stir deep down inside, giving you the feeling that things are not quite as they should be. You then roll over and notice something lying there next to you, something that in the unforgiving morning light is not what you were first expecting to see … Flashing before your eyes is a notification from eBay, exclaiming, “Congratulations! You won this item.”…
