Introducing The New Platinum A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Time Zone
Marking the resurrection of A. Lange & Sohne in 1994, the Lange 1 is the most eloquent ambassador of the German brand and considered a true Saxon watchmaking icon. With its asymmetric dial and outsize date, the Lange 1 is just shy of its 30th birthday and has, as you can appreciate in Brice’s extensive guide to this family, been interpreted with numerous complications and materials but always faithful to its distinctive, unwavering design. The Lange 1 Time Zone debuted in 2005 and was revisited in 2020 with a new manufacture movement designed to increase the watch’s functionality. The latest Lange 1 Time Zone lands in a luxurious platinum case with a solid silver rhodium-coloured dial. Something that collectors would easily name a “stealth” edition of this high-end traveller’s watch.Ideal for travelling across time zones, GMT watches allow you to consult home and local time at a glance. Many GMT models rely on an additional central hour hand pointing t

Introducing: The Time-Reversing Cartier Santos-Dumont Rewind
Alberto Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian aviator, and Louis Cartier shared a passion for machines and mechanics. In 1904, Louis Cartier presented Santos-Dumont with the first purpose-designed wristwatch with a solid, rounded square case and rivets on the bezel. The idea behind the watch was to allow Santos-Dumont to consult the time in the cockpit without having to remove his hands from the controls. Little did either of these forward-thinking gentlemen suspect that this wristwatch would become one of the most popular and enduring Cartier icons of all time. For 2024, Cartier proposes a rather unusual model, the Santos-Dumont Rewind, that literally flies in the face of tradition.At first glance, the watch appears to be a classic Santos-Dumont with a lovely carnelian dial, Roman numerals, a ruby cabochon in the crown and the signature railway minutes track. Although the XII and VI are in their usual positions, the rest of the numbers are reversed, meaning that time is read backwards, not for

The evocative Cartier Masse Mysterieuse flips your senses upside-down
Cartier has always had a knack for creating evocative, expressive watches riddled with innovation. Its portfolio is filled with fascinating pieces like the Tank Asymetrique, Crash Skeleton, Cloche de Cartier and Rotonde de Cartier. Throughout the years Cartier manages to walk the fine line between refined elegance, traditional craftsmanship and an unbridled push for creativity and modernity. Perhaps the best example is Cartier's love for mystery and illusion, with watches and clocks not revealing all their secrets and leaving you baffled about how it actually works. And that element of mystique is perfectly captured in the new Cartier Masse Mysterieuse. Before going into details, we have to admit we're not entirely 100% sure how this watch works. Sure, we're familiar with the concept of the Mystery watches and clocks by Cartier, and we have read a press release of course, but to grasp the way the Masse Mysterieuse ticks is a challenge.
