A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus in White Gold - Monochrome Watches
When the Odysseus by A. Lange & Sohne was announced in 2019, a lot of people took notice. It was to be the first ever sports watch, in steel, with a bracelet by the German haute horlogerie brand. It was unexpected and bold, but a proper A. Lange & Sohne nevertheless. It featured all the hallmarks we love by AL&S, such as ample amounts of decoration on the movement, intriguing design elements and clever solutions for ease-of-use. First introduced in steel, it has since been followed by a white gold version. Today we share our video-review of that very watch and see how it stacks up against the inaugural Odysseus in steel. And as we've explained in our hands-on review of both the steel and white gold Odyssues, this watch is to be taken very seriously. It is not aiming to be something other than a proper A.

Patek Philippe Twenty~4 Automatic - A Woman's Review of Patek's Latest Creation (Specs & Price)
At the London event Patek Philippe hosted at the end of October, I was able to see the latest interpretation of the Twenty~4 in person and get a feel for what this new watch is all about. Much has changed from the original rectangular Twenty~4 collection, in fact, the only element that has survived the transition is the elegant articulated bracelet. With its round case and overdue upgrade to a mechanical automatic movement, the Twenty~4 collection fills the gap in the brand's repertoire for what Patek Philippe considers an everyday watch to accompany style-conscious women and self-confident women day in and day out.Women count at Patek PhilippeThankfully, women's watches have always enjoyed a prominent place in Patek Philippe's offerings, starting with the fact that the current head of watch creation is Sandrine Stern (who is also the wife of Patek’s President). Unlike other upmarket watch brands, Patek has set a precedent in the field for creating women's watch complications
