The Refined Honeygold Edition of The A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Minute Repeater
A. Lange & Sohne's Zeitwerk Minute Repeater is an extraordinary, highly original watch that perfectly captures the personality of this grand Saxon brand. As the only mechanical wristwatch to combine a jumping numerals display with a decimal minute repeater, the Zeitwerk is visually and acoustically exceptional. Following the first platinum Zeitwerk Minute Repeater of 2015 and the white gold model of 2020, the brand releases a limited edition of 30 Zeitwerk Minute Repeaters crafted in warm Honeygold.HoneygoldHoneygold is a top-secret alloy developed for Lange in 2010. Its unique colour, which looks like liquid honey, is reserved for Lange's most exclusive timepieces. Harder than platinum and other gold alloys - and therefore much more challenging to shape and finish - Honeygold has an extremely subtle and elegant tone. Ad - Scroll to continue with article Ins
Introducing the AkriviA Tourbillon Chiming Jump Hour (specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Take a moment to allow those words to sink in: Tourbillon, Chiming, Jump Hour. Three complications joined in one single watch; two complications are rare, all three are highly unusual joined into one piece and take an extreme dexterity to do right. You cannot deny that AkriviA, the brand formed just three years ago, has ambition. You also cannot deny that Rexhep Rexhepi, the master watchmaker behind the brand, has the horological prowess to back up this ambition. Heck, if a legend like Kari Voutilainen says you're good, you're good*.?We've explained before, but we cannot emphasize it enough. The level of watchmaking this young man works at is simply staggering. Joining Patek Phillipe as an apprentice at the age of 14 years, movement developer for the now defunct (and partly gobbled up by Hublot) BNB Concepts and being hired as a watchmaker for Fran?ois-Paul Journe, it is evident Rexhep knows his complications. At FP Journe he worked on the Les Resonances, Octa and Chronograph Souverain
Hands-On - Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military Pre-SIHH 2018 - Specs & Price
A few weeks ago, Ulysse Nardin announced its Pre-SIHH 2018 watches, which include 2 very classical watches – the Marine Tourbillon Blue Enamel and the Classico Grand Feu – with all the DNA of the brand: enamel dial, nice in-house movement, Marine inspiration, elegance with a twist and relatively affordable price. A third watch was presented, however a much more original one: the?Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military. Surprised by this piece, we had to check it in the metal to vote in favour (or not) of this new Military take on the Marine roots.To understand the new?Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur Military, we have to back to mid-2017, when UN introduced a new, accessible and essential version of its Marine watch, the Torpilleur. This watch, deliberately inspired by some mid-19th century Marine Chronometers manufactured by the brand, and at the same time cleared of most of the fancy features found on the?standard Marine collection (see here for an example) was a refreshi

As part of the new models presented by Hublot for the beginning of this year, we have a modern take on the Classic Fusion and several new versions of Big Bangs or Spirit of Big Bang models. Here's an overview of everything that has been presented by the brand.Hublot Classic Fusion Original 42mm, 38mm and 33mmThe origins of Hublot go back to 1980 with a luxury sports watch standing out with unprecedented combinations of materials, in particular gold and rubber. Hublot revisits its emblematic Classic Fusion in three different sizes – 42mm, 38mm or 33mm – each available in 3 materials – steel, ceramic or gold. The overall look is close to the original. Yet, there are several changes. Starting with the case, it has been modernized with a simpler, more angular design and black details wedged in between the case middle an
