Introducing The A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Limited Edition With Pink Gold Dial
Ten years ago, in 2013, A. Lange & Sohne unveiled the extraordinary 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar alongside the Grand Complication watch, which featured an array of impressive functions. While the Grand Complication garnered significant attention due to its size and price, the smaller and slightly less complicated (and more accessible, relatively speaking) 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar received widespread acclaim – and some polarizing views. A. Lange & Sohne has now introduced a new limited edition of the stunning 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar timepiece, featuring a beautiful salmon dial… But being a Lange, this means solid pink gold and not a simple galvanic treatment.This time the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar is presented in a familiar three-piece construction case crafted of 18-carat white gold. The highly polished bezel with the brushed caseband and caseback, create a refined, contrasting and sophisticated appearance. The case dimensions

Industry The Geneva Watch Days Returns in August 2021
The global pandemic that hit the world in 2020 has had a massive impact on the watch industry, be it production, sales and obviously, events. Due to the sanitary situation, the two major fairs of the year, Watches & Wonders and Baselworld, had to be cancelled – at least the physical editions – leading the press and retailers to attend only digital presentations. The Geneva Watch Days event was the one notable exception, which took place in August last year. Following the success of the 2020 edition, the founding watch brands are staging the event in Geneva again this year, with the 2021 Geneva Watch Days scheduled from 30th August to 3rd September.?Watches & Wonders 2021 – the major watch fair (and the only fair that survived) – was staged again this year in a digital format. Thankfully there will be a real, partially physical event in August with the return of Geneva Watch Days. Created by a group of brands, on the initiative of Bvlgari's CEO Jean-Chris

Portrait: Yvan Arpa, Founder of ArtyA, a Manufacture of Emotions
Atypical careers in watchmaking are rare, if not exceptional. Most of today’s watchmakers work to the mandates of marketing and Excel spreadsheets and tend to be conventional and conformist. There are, however, some rare exceptions and Yvan Arpa, founder of ArtyA, is one of them. Flamboyant and unpredictable, unfiltered and out of the ordinary, just like his career. You be the judge.The man who lives by the mantra of “authenticity” and whose watchmaking creations have taken the world by storm was originally a maths teacher but quit after two years to travel. This martial arts enthusiast and karate expert found himself practising Thai boxing at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium before heading off to New Guinea, which he crossed on foot.

The dreamy Cvstos Re-Belle Moon collection
Another relative newcomer on the independent watchmaking block is Cvstos, a niche Geneva-based brand founded in 2005 by Sassoun Sirmakes, son of Vartan Sirmakes of the Franck Muller Watchland Group. With a preference for tonneau-shaped cases across all its collections, it will not come as a surprise that co-founder and chief designer Antonio Terranova worked at Richard Mille long before his adventure at Cvstos. Like many watch brands, the core collections are based around land/Chronograph, sea/Sealiner and air/Jetliner, and a new Metropolitan luxury sports watch collection was launched earlier this year. Among the more extensive and diverse portfolio of watches is a smaller line-up known as Re-Belle, released in 2021. Still offering a robust 100m water-resistant case, the limited-edition models come with moon phase functions, mother-of-pearl or aventurine dials and a wide sway of gem-setting choices.Tonneau-Shaped CaseFeaturing the brand’s bold tonneau-shaped case, all Re-Belle M
