Video A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Thin Honeygold
Today we have another review of a supremely elegant and refined watch by German watchmaker A. Lange & Sohne. And it is a rather special model that we have here, a highly understated watch, which comprises the very essence of Lange. While we have already video reviewed the most complex watch introduced for the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in Glashutte, the impressive Tourbograph Perpetual, it is now time to look at this deceptively simple two-hand watch, the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Thin Honeygold. And although it looks minimalistic, it hides many surprises, as you’ll discover in the video above.?This 1815 Thin is part of the trilogy of timepieces released to celebrate the 175th anniversary of watchmaking in Glashutte. Indeed, in 1845, Ferdinand Adolph Lange inaugurated a manufacture in the town of Glashutte, which would become the centre of precision watchmaking in Germany. This was a true entrepreneurial project that gave birth to countless other brands, and of course,

Introducing The 2021 Omega Constellation Small Seconds Collection
Omega unveils new models in its Constellation family with a small seconds sub-dial, captivating dial colours and diamonds, a new 34mm case size, and, more importantly, all powered by the brand’s superior Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre. The hallmark claws and half-moon facets that have distinguished the Constellation since 1982 are immediately recognisable, as are the bezels engraved with classic Roman numerals or the brilliant light of 38 diamonds.BackgroundOmega's Constellation started life as a men's chronometer in 1952. By 1982, the Constellation had expanded to include women's watches. Designed by Carol Didisheim and known as the Constellation Manhattan family, one of the distinctive features of the new collection was the four screwed “griffes” or claws extending from the case over the dial. An arresting visual effect, the claws also held the sapphire crystal and gasket firmly against the case to ensure water-resistance. Another feature was the scalloped half
Recap: The Best Dress Watches of 2023
As the end of the year draws nearer every day now, we’re in the midst of the festive season. Christmas parties, New Year’s Eve celebrations and whatnot dominate our agendas. The perfect time really, to whip out a high-class dress watch and pair it with your cocktail dress or smoking, or with a onesie and cosy slippers if that’s more your thing.

A watch as simple as it can get, with just two or three hands to tell time, can still have a big impact. From well over 100 new watches we covered that fit the term ‘dress watch’ (and yes, to us that can include a seconds indication) we’ve narrowed it down to ju

Hamilton is no stranger to openworked watches, spreading the style across several collections with models like the Ventura Skeleton Limited Edition, Khaki Field Skeleton Auto and Jazzmaster Viewmatic Automatic Skeleton. The Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton simplifies the name and is the brand's latest with a multi-level dial forming the iconic spiky H logo over a decorated Swiss automatic. Although there are many standouts in its portfolio, this one seems to be the most purpose-built and well-thought skeletonized design yet. It's classy, refined and very eye-catching, and is one of the best overall offers in its price range. It even earned a spot in our Buying Guide of 8 Skeleton Watches. Let's take a closer look.BackgroundHamilton has an illustrious history and was well-known as an American brand with deep military roots before becoming a Swiss subsidiary of Swatch Group.
