New A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase Day/Night (Hands-on, Price)
The Lange 1 has been?the?anchor?of the A. Lange & Sohne collection since the brand’s re-emergence in 1994. Back then it was considered quite a disruptive piece, although still exceptionally elegant… and it still is. Another recurring theme at A. Lange & Sohne is the moon, which can be found on several watches from?the Saxonian Manufacture – for example?the Saxonia Moon Phase. So what happens if you combine both? You?get the Lange 1 Moon Phase of course. And since the standard Lange 1 received?a subtle but welcomed update in 2015, it is now the Lange 1 Moon Phase’s turn. Updates include?the addition of the new Lange 1 movement and a new day/night indication incorporated right into the moonphase indication. Here is the new SIHH 2017 A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase (not to be confused with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase).Reference point – the old (left) vs. the new (right) A. Lange Sohne Lange 1 Moon PhaseLet’s be clear from the outset. Th
Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Flying Tourbillon Aventurine Enamel
After the inaugural launch of its new and important Code 11.59 collection last year, Audemars Piguet is now playing with the existing models and is “spicing up” the looks to give this modern interpretation of a classic watch some appeal. We’ve seen it, for instance, on the time-and-date and chronograph versions, fitted with smoked dials. Now it’s time for one of the Haute Horlogerie watches to get a visual update. Here are the new Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet Selfwinding Flying Tourbillons, with Aventurine Enamel Dials.Code 11.59 By Audemars Piguet was not only an entirely new collection and the brand’s take on a modern classic watch, but it was also the vehicle for unprecedented movements, such as a new time-and-date automatic and?the long-awaited integrated automatic chronograph. In addition to these two core collection engines, the brand also introduced the impressive Flying Tourbillon Chronograph and a new Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon, again with a n
IWC Introduces The Big Pilot G63 In Armor Hold and Ceramic Matrix Composite
IWC Schaffhausen has been partners with Mercedes and its AMG sub-brand for quite some time now, both through the road cars and its Formula 1 team, Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1. The two brands seem to complement each other in multiple ways, often taking style and innovation in new directions. IWC’s flagship model, the iconic Big Pilot is today’s topic of choice for a new set of watches inspired by the military-vehicle-turned-ultra-luxury-SUV by Mercedes, the G-Wagon. IWC has transferred elements of the top-of-the-range Mercedes-AMG G63 onto the new IWC Schaffhausen Big Pilot G63, which comes in two very distinct materials.The new G63 is first and foremost based on the legendary Big Pilot, which means a rather impressive case of 46.5mm in diameter and 14.6mm in height. Naturally, it has a soft-iron inner case to protect it from magnetic forces, as well as sapphire crystals secured against sudden drops in air pressure. What distinguishes the two from the regular Big Pilot collecti
IWC Pilots Watch UTC Spitfire Edition MJ271 ref. IW327101 - SIHH 2019 (Specs & Price)
As part of its thematic focus on Pilot’s Watches for the SIHH 2019,? IWC resurrects one of its signature complications, a device that was used in the past on pilot’s watches, the UTC for “Universal Time Coordinated” – a watch also known as the TZC for “Time Zone Corrector”. A practical?dual-time watch, which is easy to use and fitted with clever features, makes?a lot of sense in the context of a pilot’s watch. We are very pleased to see the return of this complication with the?IWC Pilot's Watch UTC Spitfire Edition MJ271.The UTC Watch by IWCBack in 1998, as part of the prolific Pilot’s Watch collection, IWC launched a new watch named the?UTC Pilot's Watch ref. 3251 (which you can see below). While the design was not surprising – clearly in the vein of the rest of the collection – the complication included in the watch was an interesting development. And don’t be fooled by the simple look of this piece, it is in fac
IWC's New Pilots Watch Chronograph Edition Collectors Watch for IWC Forum Members - Monochrome Watches
IWC has been one of the first brands to pioneer with an in-house forum dedicated to IWC collector’s and special news of the brand. For the third time now, they have created a special edition watch for forum members and as Michal Friedberg, the forum’s moderator, says: “it is the most exciting news in the history of our IWC Collectors' Forum“.This is the new IW387808 Pilot's Watch Chronograph Edition Collectors' Watch and it is limited to 250 pieces, for IWC forum members only.
