Introducing The A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition With Pink Gold Dial
Ten years ago, in 2013, A. Lange & Sohne unveiled the extraordinary 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar alongside the Grand Complication watch, which featured an array of impressive functions. While the Grand Complication garnered significant attention due to its size and price, the smaller and slightly less complicated (and more accessible, relatively speaking) 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar received widespread acclaim – and some polarizing views. A. Lange & Sohne has now introduced a new limited edition of the stunning 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar timepiece, featuring a beautiful salmon dial… But being a Lange, this means solid pink gold and not a simple galvanic treatment.This time the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar is presented in a familiar three-piece construction case crafted of 18-carat white gold.

But importantly here, what matters isn’t only the watch
Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Virtual Museum - Monochrome Watches
The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso is probably one of the most iconic watches around. So it’s time to browse through the new Reverso Virtual Museum, which offers a nice opportunity to flip through the Reverso’s history and admire both old and recent models.Of course browsing through Reverso history was most interesting. I had no idea that the Reverso Grande Date I used to own, was initially launched in 2003 and it’s still in the collection.
