Hands-On - A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus Titanium Limited Edition
The A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus is a surprising watch on many levels. Dubbed the ALS you can wear on a daily basis, it’s a rather Germanic take on the luxury sports watch, with a different approach to the concept than, for instance, the Royal Oak, Nautilus or Overseas. More complex, less integrated, not that thin… far less Genta-esque, in fact. It truly has its own personality and, even though it came as a surprise in 2019, it has become a success for the brand. Building on its popularity, the Saxon brand decided to release its first limited edition (as if the regular steel version was easy to get!), the Odysseus Titanium. And yes, it is a stunning watch on many levels. Probably the best of the collection so far. But it’s also a watch that has provoked comments.The A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus, as presented in 2019It might sound a bit cliche to start this article by already saying that the A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus Titanium is a stunning watch. Truth is, this w
Introducing: The New 2024 Speedmaster First Omega In Space (FOiS)
Without a doubt,?one of the most iconic chronographs ever produced by the Swiss watchmaking industry is the Omega Speedmaster,?born in 1957 (as part of a trilogy of Master watches). However, the Speedmaster shot to notoriety in 1969 when the watch landed on the Moon as part of the Apollo 11 mission – earning its title as the Moonwatch. However, before it became flight-qualified by NASA and before it became the watch on the Moon, the space story of the Speedmaster took shape gradually, just like the American Space programmes. And it all started 62 years ago, on October 3rd, 1962, onboard the Mercury-Atlas 8 mission, on the wrist of astronaut Walter “Wally” Schirra, wearing what would become “the first Omega in Space.” In 2012, Omega released a special edition Speedmaster FOiS, discontinued in 2021. But lo and behold, the Speedmaster First Omega in Space is back in 2024, with tons of vintage touches, a modern movement and a surprising grey-blue dial.THE FIRS
A Closer Look At The Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze 79250BM, One Of 2016 Main Highlights (Review with Video, Specs & Price) - Monochrome Watches
This year, at Baselworld 2016, you won’t be surprised to know that the attention was again mainly focused on the Group booth ( and Tudor Watches). Of course, the Daytona Ceramic Bezel was on?everyone’s?lips (well, it’s a and it’s a Daytona, that’s no?surprise) but the other big eye catcher there was on the other side?of the booth, in the black?and red rooms of Tudor Watches. Even if based on the already existing Heritage Black Bay, this year’s highlight for Tudor made some noise – some loving it at first sight, some being skeptical before seeing it (hello, that’s us…) and some already screaming?scandal (like always…). We had time to digest the thing and it’s now our turn?to have a closer look at the?Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze 79250BM, a watch less familiar than you’d expect in a glance.When, a few hours before Baselworld’s official opening, we received the first 3D renderings and the specs sheet abo
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Full-Steel 2022 - Video Review, Price
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Collection was introduced in 1992 and has since been the classic, slightly vintage branch of the brand. The collection combines an impressive technical rigour with a stylistic approach inspired by classic round timepieces made by JLC in the 1950s. And of course, there’s the fact that these watches undergo the brand’s 1000 Hours Control certification. The Master Control was refreshed in 2020?with a more streamlined and more contemporary design, yet with the same timeless attire as before. Available in several versions?with different calibres, it’s time for this somewhat formal collection to become more versatile, as the Master Control Calendar and the Master Control Chronograph Calendar now come with interchangeable stainless steel bracelets (and leather straps).The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control is the best definition of a classic luxury watch at Jaeger-LeCoultre. Restrained, elegant, discreet and timeless, it combines the brand
