A. Lange and Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar 25th Anniversary (Specs & Price)
The Lange 1 “25th Anniversary”, introduced prior to the SIHH 2019, was the first of a commemorative series of ten watches. Two other limited edition pieces followed, with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase?and the Little Lange 1. For the fourth model in the collection, A. Lange & Sohne introduces the most complicated and exclusive model of this watch family. Meet the 25-piece A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar “25th Anniversary”.The recipe for this fourth watch is pretty simple: take the most complex Lange 1 model, adapt it to the 25th-anniversary theme and you’ll get a very discreet watch (at first) that hides an incredible level of sophistication. The base for this new edition is familiar and avails itself of the same proportions and movement as this version we reviewed a few years ago. Needless to say, we’re in front of one of Lange’s masterpieces here. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
Introducing The Audemars ROC Split-Seconds Chronograph GMT
The launch of a new Royal Oak Concept is always quite of an event. Since 2002, the collection has been a platform of experimentation for Audemars Piguet, blending innovative technical solutions with avant-garde design. A case in point, the new ROC Split-Seconds GMT ref. 26650TI combines a new automatic rattrapante chronograph movement with dual-time function and large date, a new case size and an interchangeable strap system.?If the chronograph is one of the most revered complications, the rattrapante or split-seconds function takes it to a whole new level. This intricate mechanism is one of the most difficult to make. Split-second chronographs feature two superimposed seconds hands that time two events of different lengths simultaneously. One hand (the rattrapante) can be stopped to display an intermediate time, while the other one keeps running. A second push on the rattrapante pusher allows the stopped hand to catch up (rattraper in French) with the moving hand. Ad - Scro
A new white gold case for the Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet QP
Audemars Piguet’s?longstanding history of calendar watches is still very much alive with the new release of its Code 11.59. Although it is not the first time the QP complication finds its way to AP’s vision of a modern classic, this one looks exceptionally handsome, thanks to the starry sky background. In a departure from the bold pink gold version, here is the new Code 11.59 by Audemars Piguet Perpetual Calendar in white gold.Since its launch, much has been said of the Code 11.59, mainly regarding the slightly mundane inaugural line-up. Not deterred by the public’s banter, Audemars Piguet has since expanded the collection with bolder and more exciting combinations of materials and complications. This includes such stellar pieces as the Grande Sonnerie Carillon Supersonnerie?or the Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon with an aventurine dial. One of the other stand-out models revolves around the classical, romantic Perpetual Calendar complication, seen here in a new white go
