Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar. And those who are experienced with the brand will know what is?hidden behind this quite barbarian German word…“Handwerkskunst”…?Don’t be scared by this word.

Yet Panerai enthusiasts, or Paneristi as we like to call them, praise the brand for its uniqueness, heritage and no nonsense look.

Housed in a black ceramic case with a meteorite dial, the tourbillon is ferociously guarded by Gabrielle Chanel's mascot and powered by a manual-winding manufacture movement.round & roundThe dark, brooding looks of the watch are produced by the marriage of a matte black ceramic with a dark-grey meteorite dial. Combining highly resistant black ceramic with a steel bezel, crown and caseback, the round 42mm case offers enticing views on both sides. Like the j
