The Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon Honeygold “Lumen” is the indisputable highlight of A. Lange & Sohne's novelties for Watches and Wonders 2024. Pulling out its big guns at Watches & Wonders, Lange has treated its uber-complex flyback chronograph, perpetual calendar, and tourbillon cocktail to an exclusive Honeygold case and, for the cherry on top, a luminous Lumen glow. Sharing identical specifications to its siblings in white gold and platinum, this masterpiece of horology and Saxon design that made its debut in 2016 has no qualms about revealing its innermost secrets in the dark.Although the Datograph is officially celebrating its 25th anniversary, Lange has chosen to pay homage to its complicated sibling, the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, by treating it to two of the brand’s trademarked products: Honeygold and Lumen.Honeygold is a top-secret alloy developed for Lange in 2010 with a unique colour comparable to that of honey.

IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Edition 150 Years - SIHH 2018 Hands-On Review (Specs & Price)
With IWC introducing so many limited-edition references for its 150th anniversary this year (there are 27 in total), it's been hard work picking a favourite. The blue dial Portugieser Chronograph is certainly high on the list, as of course is the Tribute to Pallweber. If I had to choose just one, however, I think it would have to be the Portugieser Perpetual Calendar Edition 150 Years (IW503405). Striking design, practical complexity and a dial I could stare at for hours, it really does offer a lot of watch for the money.As you have already read countless times by now, IWC is celebrating its 150th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the company has created a limited edition Jubilee collection comprised of more than two dozen references with special white or blue lacquered dials. The finish on the dials is achieved by adding up to 12 coats of transparent lacquer, firing in an oven and then manual flat polishing to create an enamel-like effect.

Spotted - Bernard Arnault Unique Tiffany-Blue Patek Nautilus 5740 Perpetual
Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past two months, the whole buzz surrounding the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711 Tiffany-Blue dial made for the 170th anniversary of the NYC-based jeweller and watch retailer should be something quite familiar to you – and maybe, you’re also rather bored with this story by now. But, today, it’s basically the mother of all Tiffany-Blue Nautilus watches that has been spotted out in the wild (understand Instagram). Yes, just like that, casually playing chess, Bernard Arnault, owner of LVMH and now owner of Tiffany, has been spotted wearing something very, very unusual: a unique Tiffany-Blue Patek Philippe Nautilus Perpetual 5740.

TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Polychrome L.E.
There’s the use of colours, and there’s the use of colours. And TAG Heuer has gone the extra mile to turn the already quite expressive Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon into something that radiates the colours of the rainbow.

Fun, expressive, and upholding the Carrera’s signature attributes, this is the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph Tourbillon Polychrome limited edition.?The case for this Polychrome limited edition is constructed out of titanium, with a black PVD coating all around. On top sits a fixed bezel with a tachymeter scale, made of carbon fibre. The pull-out crown and chronograph pushers are also machined out of titanium and given the same black PVD coating. The domed and bevelled sapphire crystal on top protects the dial, while the black PVD-coated titanium with sapphire crystal caseback does the same for the m
