A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold - Review, Price
Today, we’ll review a special watch… Sure, it looks stunning, but there’s far more to this watch than its pretty face. The 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold represents many things. First of all, it’s always a pleasure to see an A. Lange & Sohne made of 18k Honeygold, the brand’s proprietary gold alloy, always reserved for special occasions. Second, this watch celebrates the founder of both the watchmaking industry in Glashutte and the Lange brand. Finally, and this is hard to believe after so many watches with a chronograph function, but this is the first stand-alone split-seconds chronograph of A. Lange & Sohne. Superbly executed and quite spectacular… Let’s dive into the details that make this 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold a pretty special watch.?Homage to F.A. Lange and to 175 years of watchmaking in GlashutteThe 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold is part of an important trilogy of watches for the brand, all executed in the same proprietary gold alloy
This Unique Credor GBBY983 Is An Art-Piece You Didn't Expect From Seiko Corp. - Monochrome Watches
The Seiko Group is a typical Japanese conglomerate… Meaning that under the same umbrella (but not under the same brand), you’ll find watches ranging from about EUR 200 to more than half a million euros. Grand Seiko is often seen as the group’s top watchmaker, but we have to keep in mind Credor, an even more confidential and exclusive brand that is capable of creating a grande sonnerie watch. And while GS has already demonstrated its ability to create metiers d’art watches, it’s now time for Credor to show that artistic crafts are also its thing. The result? This unique GBBY983, a hand-engraved watch with automaton… Probably not what you were expecting to see today, right?To make it clear, there’s nothing in common between a Seiko 5 and a Credor watch, except the fact that the shareholders on top are the same. Credor might be an entity of the Seiko Corporation, it surely has skills that no one else in the group can apply to watches. In the past,
Omega Specialities CK 859 Re-Edition Sector Dial (Price)
Just a couple of weeks after the launch of what we thought was most of the collection for 2022, Omega discreetly adds yet another watch to its collection, next to the Seamaster Ultra-Deep and cool Speedmaster 57 hand-wound. But now, it’s something of a surprise that we’re about to reveal, something that clearly was not expected, but that really, really looks stunning. In short, a 39mm steel watch with coin-edge shaped Calatrava-style case, handsome silver sector dial, true 1930s inspiration combined with a modern hand-wound movement, and at a relatively fair price. Yes, there’s a lot to love here, with this new Omega CK 859 Re-Edition… (and yes, it’s typically something we look forward to having at the office for a review on the wrist)Claiming that Omega has a rich history and portfolio of handsome vintage models certainly is an understatement. In the past years, Omega has demonstrated a true commitment to the creation of vintage-inspired models that pay r
2020 New Dials for Omega De Ville Prestige Co-Axial
Launched in 1994, the Omega De Ville Prestige is certainly not the brand’s most striking or most coveted timepiece, overshadowed by the icons that are the Speedmaster and Seamaster. Nevertheless, this classic, elegant watch makes for a nice option if you’re in the market for an all-rounder with an efficient movement and Omega’s usual indisputable quality (and at a decent price too). For 2020, the brand adds new dial and colour combinations to the De Ville Prestige.Well-proportioned, with its 39.5mm case, the De Ville Prestige is a classic, timeless and discreet watch that doesn’t need to make a statement. It has the right dosage of elegance to make it to the wrist of discerning enthusiasts with numerous options, whether colours, dial layouts or materials offered. This year, the collection is enlarged with all-time classic colours and two-tone combinations, for an extra touch of luxury. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic M79210CNU with METAS Certification
Following the introduction of its new collection just over a month ago at Watches & Wonders, we clearly didn’t expect to see new models from Tudor for a while… And certainly, we didn’t expect to see something as big as what’s coming today. Sure, there’s a new Black Bay Ceramic, which was somehow announced two years ago with a unique model for Only Watch charity auction. Sure, it looks cool (better than the OW model…) and is the first time ceramic is used in this collection. But most importantly, the big deal is in the technologies, and specifically in the certifications, as the manufacture calibre has been reworked and is now Master Chronometer certified by METAS, with impressive 15,000-gauss magnetic resistance… something that is not exclusive to Omega anymore (but was never meant to be from the very beginning). So let’s have a look at this new Tudor Black Bay Ceramic M79210CNU.The unique Tudor Black Bay Ceramic One of Only Watch 201
