At the start of the year, A. Lange & Sohne announced that 2019 would be dedicated to celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Lange 1. A total of 10 anniversary models are due to be unveiled this year, celebrating the key milestones of the Lange 1 watch family. So far, we have seen been treated to the Lange 1 25th Anniversary and Lange 1 Moon Phase 25th Anniversary models. Now we are getting our first look at the Little Lange 1 25th Anniversary.A watch that needs no introduction, the Lange 1 was one of the four cornerstone models of the brand's rebirth in 1994. Over the years it has evolved to become a stand-alone collection in its own right. Four years later, the Little Lange 1 joined the line-up as a permanent member. Identical in almost every way to the original, the Little Lange 1 offers a case that is 1.7mm smaller, a great option for those with smaller (or more slender) wrists.

Longines Avigation BigEye (Specs & Price)
For the past few years, Longines has been quite active in the field of vintage reissues?and vintage-inspired watches. In fact, there’s an entire collection named “Heritage”, full of watches that pay tribute to the rich past of the 185 years old brand. Some were just fine, some were highly desirable and some were rather disappointing (those date windows…) However, today, it seems that with the new?Longines Avigation BigEye, we might have a solid package: a military-inspired pilot chronograph, with vintage flair, no-date display, balanced proportions, nice automatic movement and a very decent price…We’re certainly not going to teach you anything new here, but Longines has a long-term relationship with aviation. Whether we talk Lindbergh or WWII pilot watches, the vintage collections are full of those highly desirable watches made for aviation. This rich past has been a proper playfield for the brand, which reissued some of its most iconic pieces, havin
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
Ma?tres du Temps Chapter One Round Transparence - Monochrome Watches
Dreams do come true. In the US, anyone who has played fantasy football or attended an all-star baseball game knows the synergistic thrill of combining top talent from various sources. These sports venues reveal a dream team in action, and Ma?tres du Temps embodies this concept for the watch world; the Chapter One Round Transparence is their latest dream realized. The Transparence is an evolution of the Chapter One Round (first introduced in 2007), and provides a voyeuristic view of its inner workings. When you pay close to half-a-million dollars, own one watch of only eleven made, and have the creative duo of Peter Speake-Marin and Christophe Claret design the watch, viewing the movement provides a greater appreciation of the watch's alchemy. Those of us who fail to make the Forbes 500 list of the world's richest people can dream, knowing that somewhere, there is such a watch. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Introducing The New 37mm Tudor Black Bay 54 79000N
There’s no doubt the Black Bay collection is Tudor’s biggest success, and a true bread-and-butter range for the brand. It started in 2012 with the Black Bay 79220R and 11 years later the shine of the Black Bay doesn’t seem to fade. New to the range for 2023 is the introduction of a Black Bay that is very close to Tudor’s very first dive watch, and is aptly named the Tudor Black Bay 54.Tudor brings a new case size to the Black Bay collection, as the new Black Bay 54 shrinks down to 37mm in size. The steel case falls in line with the overall design of the range, with a mostly brushed finish. The rotating bezel is fitted with an aluminium insert in black, which now lacks a minute graduation to tie it in with the 1954 original. On top there is a sapphire crystal, with a solid caseback around the back. It respects the 200m water resistance of its bigger brothers, which is good. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
