LIST: Andrew’s top 3 picks under $10k from SIHH 2019
To atone for our tardy 2018 Top 10 lists, and to prove we haven’t just spent a week in Geneva looking backwards, we’re moving quickly on now to what has been the work at hand the last five days – reporting on the first major watch fair of the year, something we call SIHH, or Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie. As usual, we have handled hundreds and hundreds of brand new watches. But slightly different to usual, instead of spending all of our time in Geneva bashing away on laptops in the evenings or in the 5-minute spaces between presentations, we dragged our cameraman Marcus around with us literally everywhere and – given a moment – we would quickly recap our picks. They are ordered by price (Australian dollars, by the way), because that seems to work best for you all. So, consider this a serious shout of ‘FORE!’ on the golf course.

This year there’s a BIG twist with our video lists, which will start rolling in over the next week – we’re inviting you to share your picks in each price point in the comments section of YouTube. The commenter with the most likes on their SIHH 2019 list on 1 July 2019 will receive something that we do not offer for sale; a Time+Tide lapel pin handcrafted by an Australian ex-Rolex watchmaker in sterling silver (with an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper to allow for some patina action as they age), acid-etched and polished. This pin is a living thing – ours have aged differently, they become unique very quickly. These were created for the Time+Tide team only. They will never grace the T+T shop. But seven of them are going out to the kings of the list-makers across these videos. OK, I’M READY TO LIST. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Excellent, let’s get down to it, because assembly IS required. Simply research all of the releases of SIHH 2019 (haha, simply, welcome to our world), break them down by price points of up to $10kAUD, $10-35kAUD and $35kAUD+ and then round it off with your three favourite high…
