VIDEO: Two couples explain why they wear Panerai, you can too at #MyPanerai
You’re never quite sure how a film shoot is going to turn out. On paper, things can be obvious. Both of the couples that are featured here had professed to us an enduring love for Panerai. But it was only when we started exploring that attachment, and asking more detailed questions about it, that things took an interesting turn. How did we even get here, though? The thought process from our side was to address this notion of the Panerai ‘tribe’ – the deeper than average connection many Panerai wearers seem to have to their watches, and to the Panerai story behind them. Is it different for men and women? We asked our passionate subjects to complete this sentence, “My Panerai is…..” This is what they said. If you’d like to share your answer, we’d love to hear it. Use the hashtag #mypanerai on Instagram and Facebook. We’ll be sharing photos all week.

Today we catch up with the enigmatic Swiss penguin (hey, it’s what her profile says) with a love for complicated watches and a top notch feed. Meet @LindaZinha… NAME: Viviana – but please, call me Vivi OCCUPATION: Watch retail HANDLE: @LindaZinha FOLLOWERS: 3K LOCATION: Switzerland Tell me about yourself: I’m a twenty-something-year-old girl who is nuts about watches — and have been ever since I started my career, about 9 years ago. I speak 4 languages fluently and a 5th language (only under torture). I’m lucky enough to have two nationalities, and enjoy the perks of both, travelling lots and meeting new people. How do you unwind? I hardly ever have time to unwind for real. I work from 9am until 7.45pm, which includes a two-hour commute, so I do lots of reading! Otherwise, I enjoy going to the gym or dancing. A good movie is also something that can put my mind off a long day, and when my brain is too tired to read. Lately, I have been reading a lot of management books. What’s your daily watch and why? My weekday watch is a Montblanc Dual Counter. I really enjoy wearing it because it’s not a girly…
Chronographs are amongst the most popular complications with collectors. Perhaps because people use them for important timing events in their daily lives or – more likely – they speak to the spirit of adventure and action that’s hard to resist. Whatever the reason, here are six that have stood the test of time. Omega Speedmaster Professional Any list of classic chronographs has to include the mighty Speedy. Sure, it might not be the most original option, but it’s been to the moon, people… the MOON. $6375 on steel TAG Heuer Autavia One of TAG Heuer’s mightiest chronos is the Autavia, which is back in fine form for 2017. If your taste in automobiles tends to preclude features like park assist and ABS, this could be for you. $6800 on steel Breitling Navitimer Rattrapante The Navi has been around since forever (or early 50s at least), but we haven’t seen a split-seconds version before. Turns out it was worth the wait. $14,900 Vacheron Constantin Overseas Chronograph Last year Vacheron Constantin revamped their sporty Overseas, giving the sharp and sporty collection a well-deserved upgrade. That famous bracelet is now even better than ever. $43,200 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona There’s not much to say about the new…
Editor’s Note: Sure, your watch fam are super impressed with that sweet 5513 with all the trimmings you picked up for a song. Well done you. Regular people of the female persuasion? Not so much. Ceri drops some timeless truth bombs on how to make that wrist impression count. Firstly, let’s not delude ourselves: your timepiece is going to impress more men than women. That’s a given. Unless of course it’s awful. If that’s the case, you’ll be slaying precisely no one – and also, how did you find your way to Time+Tide? However, there are a few ways you can maximise your chances of making an impression on the fairer sex with your choice of wristwear, at least a little. Listen carefully. Step 1: Choose something less obvious Less obvious than what? Less obvious than the one you’re most likely to choose, obviously. Because even though that un-aerodynamic chunk of metal on your wrist never fails to dazzle your mates and colleagues, it’s unwise to assume it’ll have a similar effect on the ladies. In the same way that we go for personality and intelligence over model-perfect looks in a life partner, we appreciate a watch that’s less in-your-face, more subtle,…
