New A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase Day/Night (Hands-on, Price)
The Lange 1 has been?the?anchor?of the A. Lange & Sohne collection since the brand’s re-emergence in 1994. Back then it was considered quite a disruptive piece, although still exceptionally elegant… and it still is. Another recurring theme at A. Lange & Sohne is the moon, which can be found on several watches from?the Saxonian Manufacture – for example?the Saxonia Moon Phase. So what happens if you combine both? You?get the Lange 1 Moon Phase of course. And since the standard Lange 1 received?a subtle but welcomed update in 2015, it is now the Lange 1 Moon Phase’s turn. Updates include?the addition of the new Lange 1 movement and a new day/night indication incorporated right into the moonphase indication. Here is the new SIHH 2017 A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase (not to be confused with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase).Reference point – the old (left) vs. the new (right) A.

Hands-on with the Richard Mille RM11-01 Roberto Mancini (Photos, Specs and Price) - Monochrome Watches
Recently we visited the Richard Mille in Switzerland. However it’s difficult to say that we visited THE manufacture, because there are several locations where the various parts are manufactured, finished, and assembled. Part “in-house” and partially not; so in the typical Swiss horological tradition. This gave us the chance to learn more about the brand, the manufacturing, the finishing and of course we got hands-on with some of the Richard Mille timepiece, like this extremely cool RM 11-01 Roberto Mancini. If budget permits (price is just above € 100k Euro), this is the perfect watch to accompany you to the Fifa Worldcup in Brazil.The former footballer Roberto Mancini has an impressive list of titles to his credit, and in 2009 he started as manager of Manchester City. According to Richard Mille he’s a true ‘gentleman of football’ and he is the very image of the brand: refined, technically brilliant and creative. The RM 11-01 was designed especially

Tudor Black Bay Ceramic One M7921 for Only Watch 2019 - Hands-On
Among the many unique pieces introduced for Only Watch 2019, there was one surprising watch, made by Tudor, in an unprecedented colour scheme and material. Based on the signature Black Bay model, the brand presented the first full-black, ceramic version of this popular dive watch. We had the chance to have this watch in our hands and we wanted to share this with you… but also to talk about future, as we know that Tudor’s unique pieces for Only Watch can sometimes lead to more than just one watch!The Tudor Black Bay Ceramic OneLet’s get straight to the point… This watch is black, really black. Clearly, Tudor’s intention wasn’t to offer optimal legibility here (p.s. it is one of the most complex watches we recently had to photograph). Everything in this watch is black or dark grey and most of the watch is treated with matte surfaces. Stealth mode activated! Ad - Scroll to continue with article
