A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Outsize Date (SIHH 2018)
Somewhat eclipsed by the immediate success of the Lange 1 with its off-centred oversized date when it was unveiled in 1994, many of us forget that the Saxonia also had a big date on its dial. The difference was that the Saxonia featured the date in a symmetrical position, just below noon and was counterbalanced by the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. The underlying symmetry of the Saxonia would distinguish it from its sibling the Lange 1 and become one of the characteristics of the collection. Presenting the A. Lange & Sohne's new Saxonia Outsize Date, a harmonious and symmetrical fusion of core traits with a dark soul – and in terms of concept, there’s a bit of the old Sax-O-Mat in this new watch.A fusion of family traitsThe Saxonia was one of the four pillars that trumpeted Walter Lange's resurrection of the brand in 1994. The epitome of purity and elegance, the name of the collection pays tribute to the German region of Saxony where the brand was founded by

Spotted - Jason Momoa, Star of Aquaman, Wearing Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL
Actor Jason Momoa is best known to audiences worldwide for playing the superhero Aquaman in the DC universe films Aquaman?and Justice League, and the character of Khal Drogo in the first season of HBO's Game of Thrones. So in terms of watches, what could fit the wrist of this big guy…?Momoa is over 6 feet tall (1.82m) and weighs approximately 100 kilograms, so in terms of watches, you would expect him to be wearing XXL timepieces such as an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore, a Hublot Big Bang or a 44mm Panerai Luminor But you'd be wrong.Lilakoi Moon and Jason Momoa attend the cocktail at Fendi Couture Fall Winter 2019/2020 on July 4, 2019 in Rome, Italy.

I knew that Momoa wears a Cartier, but I had been unsuccessful in identifying the watch until now. After bro

Hands-On: Roger Dubuis Orbis in Machina Central Monotourbillon
Modern watches made by Roger Dubuis are the antithesis of understatement and always manage to deliver a compelling mix of traditional horological content with a dash of extravagant, expressive design. This year’s releases focused on the flying tourbillon, culminating in the Orbis in Machina model with its rare, centrally mounted regulator (only a few can be named, from Omega – which first patented it in 1995 – Haldimann or Bulgari). The key word here is Orbis, referring to the revolutions of the tourbillon that are replicated at different speeds by the rotation of the minute and hour discs. Clad in hefty rose gold armour, the Orbis in Machina has two distinctive faces. The dial reveals a dynamic, multi-level, rotating construction, while the reverse presents a far more classical face of watchmaking.A fully integrated manufacturer based in Geneva, Roger Dubuis has produced over 40 calibres since its founding in 1995, all certified with the coveted Poin?on de Geneve qua

Taking a closer look at 6 recently launched red-hot watches
We are all very well aware of the fact green seems all the rage over the past few years. It is a trend that really gained momentum three, maybe four years back. Sure, prior to that we saw green dials as well, but nowadays they are everywhere. We've also noticed a shift towards other colours, something we've addressed before (here and here) and we welcome very much. One of the colours seemingly popping up and getting some love is red. The fiery tone can be seen on a number of new watches, with six of them listed in today’s Buying Guide.TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial EditionOne of the most recent crimson red wristwatches to be released is the TAG Heuer Carrera Red Dial Limited Edition. And although we haven't seen it in person, the sunray brushed red dial sure seems to pop against the steel case. Being a Carrera, it features all the hallmarks that make this such a classic. It comes in a steel case measuring 39mm across and about 15mm in height (due to the box-shaped sapphire crystal).

Baltic Aquascaphe Diver / Value Proposition Review (Specs & Price)
After successfully funding its first collection via Kickstarter, Baltic Watches has managed to stand the test of time and to survive this inaugural series of watches. Even better, the small concept became a brand and has started to expand its collection – and there are many more watches to come (but we can’t tell you yet…) Today, we look at what Etienne Malec has created as his second model, a great-looking, still accessible, no-nonsense tool dive watch with vintage inspiration; the Baltic Aquascaphe Diver.ConceptBaltic Watches is the brainchild of Etienne Malec, a young Frenchman who has inherited his father's passion for watches – something he shared with us already, some years ago. An avid collector, his father spent years putting together a collection of exceptional timepieces, some of which have inspired the designs of Baltic's first two models. Sadly though, Etienne's father passed away when Etienne was still quite young and so they were never able to trul
