A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Outsize Date (SIHH 2018)
Somewhat eclipsed by the immediate success of the Lange 1 with its off-centred oversized date when it was unveiled in 1994, many of us forget that the Saxonia also had a big date on its dial. The difference was that the Saxonia featured the date in a symmetrical position, just below noon and was counterbalanced by the small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. The underlying symmetry of the Saxonia would distinguish it from its sibling the Lange 1 and become one of the characteristics of the collection. Presenting the A. Lange & Sohne's new Saxonia Outsize Date, a harmonious and symmetrical fusion of core traits with a dark soul – and in terms of concept, there’s a bit of the old Sax-O-Mat in this new watch.A fusion of family traitsThe Saxonia was one of the four pillars that trumpeted Walter Lange's resurrection of the brand in 1994. The epitome of purity and elegance, the name of the collection pays tribute to the German region of Saxony where the brand was founded by
Introducing: The Zentier Lapis Saute Mt. Fuji Edition for Watch Ho & Co
We’ve said it on multiple occasions, and we’ll say it again; watch clubs are great initiatives. They allow to fuel the passion for watches, to gather with fellow watch enthusiasts and to increase the knowledge in watchmaking. Basically, it’s all about passion for watches. One of them, Watch Ho & Co (WH&C), is based in Hong Kong and was co-founded by Jackie Ho about 2 years ago with the motto “good vibes only.” Today, the HK-based club unveils its second collaboration with young brand Zentier. Following last year’s malachite edition, we now have the Zentier Lapis Saute Mt. Fuji Edition, an accessible jumping hour watcha guichets.Playing on the renewed trend for hard stone dials, Watch Ho & Co. unveiled last year a collaboration with Zentier that was pretty striking, not only in its look but also its display. The Zentier Saute is indeed an accessible take on the jumping hour complication, executed in the traditional “guichets” f
Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945
Jaeger-LeCoultre has long invested in highly complicated celestial complications. Over the years, we’ve seen many extremely appealing, complex and rather artistic expressions of watches displaying sideral time or star maps. Today, as part of the collection presented for Watches & Wonders Geneva 2022, the brand reinterprets one of its most fascinating movements, the Calibre 945, a minute repeater with Cosmotourbillon and celestial complications, with two new watches that display the brand’s mastery of decorative crafts. Here are the two new Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Hybris Artistica Calibre 945.Launched in 2010, the Calibre 945 is one of the most complex movements in Jaeger-LeCoultre’s extensive portfolio. This high-end movement unites a sky chart with a celestial vault, a zodiacal calendar and a minute repeater and is further elevated by Jaeger-LeCoultre’s Cosmotourbillon – a celestial flying tourbillon that not only serves as a regulating organ but also

This year, TAG Heuer launches an all-new version of the Carrera Date, redesigned and with an upgraded movement. Please welcome the new Carrera Date 36mm, which comes with fresh and colourful new dials.No doubt TAG Heuer fans remember the recent introduction of the Carrera models, none featuring the chronograph function – the Carrera Date 39 mm, Day-Date 41mm and the Twin-Time Date 41mm in 2021.
