A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Minute Repeater - Review, Price
Touted by Anthony de Haas, director of product development at A. Lange & Sohne, as the “absolute technical highlight” of Watches & Wonders 2022, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater is a case study in classicism and understatement. A far cry from the extravagance of Lange's Grand Complication of 2013 with its profusion of complications and from the 2015 Zeitwerk (decimal) Minute Repeater with jumping digital hours and minutes, the brand's latest chiming watch is a pure minute repeater sans the distraction of any additional complications. According to de Haas, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater is “a classical minute repeater but (made) to today's standards.” The classical personality of the watch is consolidated by the elegantly proportioned white enamel dial and the modest 39mm diameter of the platinum case; the modernity is conferred by several upgrades to protect and enhance the minute repeater mechanism integrated into the brand’s new calibre L122.
The new Longines Spirit 37mm Collection (Specs & Price)
The vintage-inspired Longines Spirit pilot's watches launched in 2020 with 40mm and 42mm case sizes, and featured COSC automatic movements and a choice of time/date or chronograph models. The collection celebrated the pilots, military personnel and sportsman that relied on Longines throughout its history. The latest release introduces a more universal size for both men and women, coming in at 37mm with three dial colours – including a new and rather attractive Champagne option. The dials are time and date only (no chronograph), but maintain the popular style of their predecessors with a unisex appeal. Let’s take a look at the Longines Spirit 37mm.Longines Spirit CollectionLongines has a popular Heritage collection that recalls key models from its historic portfolio. The Legend Diver and Avigation BigEye are examples of these re-editions. The Longines Spirit collection is also vintage-inspired, but introduces new designs that don't directly borrow from the past.

Introducing The 8 New Watches Of The Omega Seamaster 75th Anniversary Summer Blue Collection (Live Pics)
Omega, as a brand, has an incredibly long and rich history. When it comes to their watches, one can easily name models such as the Speedmaster or the Constellation. Yet, the watch collection with the longest production run is the Seamaster. Launched in 1948, to mark the 100th anniversary of the brand, the Omega Seamaster was based upon designs made for the British Royal Navy, but even though its technology was war-tested, it remained a child of peace. And a watch that has always been associated with water-resistance and, soon after its introduction 75th years ago, the exploration of the seas. And since the watch celebrates three-quarter of century of existence this year, it is time for Omega to release a special anniversary collection, with 7 classic Seamaster models rendered in a new Summer Blue gradient tone, but it also marks the return of an emblematic watch, the mighty Seamaster Ploprof.?Quick historical recapThe Omega Seamaster was born on the expertise that Omega gained with wat

Large, sporty or even military-inspired, Anonimo’s watches are on the tool-ish/instrument side. For Baselworld 2018, a hint of sporty-chic Italian lifestyle will appear in the collection, with the new?Anonimo Epurato. Smaller, more refined but still very Florentine, meet the brand’s chic new timepiece.Anonimo was created in Florence, back in 1997.?If the history, the design or the inspiration behind its watches feel familiar, it is simply because it was created on the ashes of another brand, Panerai. In 1997, Richemont bought Panerai and decided to relocate the production from Florence to Neuchatel. Yet, some of the ex-employees didn't move and they started the creation of a brand named Anonimo (anonymous in Italian). The production was focused on diving watches designed by the military e
