The BEST and WORST watches of Watches and Wonders 2026 – Cartier, Grand Seiko, Rolex, IWC, & More

It's finally here, the fan-favourite video for the Time+Tide team to film and our audience to watch. Pens and cameras down. The gloves come off. No fears after a few beers. In this video, the team reveals its annual kiss, marry, and [unalive] picks of Watches and Wonders 2026. The whole team on the ground, from A-Z, from Andrew to Zach, share their “kiss” (the watch they admire but aren't ready to commit to), “marry” (the watch they could commit to for life), or “unalive” (dismiss entirely). Check out the full video, which tackles pieces from Rolex, Tudor, Cartier, A. Lange & Söhne, Grand Seiko, IWC, Bulgari, TAG Heuer, Patek Philippe, and more, and then let us know in the comments your kiss, marry, [unalive] picks of the fair – or which Time+Tide team member you think got it the most right with their picks. ------------------------------- 00:00 Intro 00:38 Cartier Santos-Dumont with Obsidian dial 01:11 A.
