A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up Down - REVIEW with exclusive photos, price and specs - Monochrome Watches

As a follow-up we're reviewing its little brother, the A. Lange & Sohne Datograph Up Down, that also has a stunning movement and features an added large date. The A. Lange & Sohne Datograph is one of the icons of modern watchmaking. And it has only been on the market since 1999! Let's find out what contributes to this almost instant success.This year it has been 15 years since the first generation Datograph was introduced, and two years ago, in 2012, the Dato (as it's lovingly referred to by collectors) was slightly redesigned. The Roman numerals have made place for baton hour markers, the case has been enlarged from 39mm to 41mm, and it now offers 60 hours of autonomy when fully wound (that's 24 hours more than on the previous generation.) Although the visual changes might seem almost insignificant, the new generation Dat

When she walked past an Audemars Piguet Boutique in Singapore in 2010, looking for her next watch after coming to terms with the fact that the Chanel J12 she had just purchased just didn't suit her at all, she knew it had to be a Royal Oak.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Canopus Gold Hands-On
Yesterday, we took an in-depth look at the new steel Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co-Axial, both sapphire and Hesalite models – with all you need to know in order to decide which model to choose. A strong evolution of one of the most timeless and iconic watches of the industry.

And rightfully so, since it has mostly been made in this commoner metal its entire life. Whether earliest 1957 models or the late 2020 editions were first and foremost sports instruments
