A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph Now In Pink Gold (SIHH 2018) - Monochrome Watches
A. Lange & Sohne has introduced another iteration of its classic 1815 Chronograph this year at SIHH, now cased in warm 18ct pink gold but with the same iconic pulsation dial. Considered by many to be the ultimate expression of a purist chronograph, these latest versions will be sure to strike a chord with collectors, who now find themselves literally spoilt for choice.

Here are our first impressions about the?Tudor Heritage Black Bay Steel & Date Ref. 79730.Let’s first draw?the context. We are, Frank Geelen and I, proud owners of the 1st generation of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay, both of us with a midnight blue bezel. While the burgundy edition was probably not for us, the blue version
