Hands-on with the 2015 collection of the A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia (live photos, specs & price) - Monochrome-Watches
Recently, we’ve seen the evolution of the Lange 1, a watch so iconic that A. Lange & Sohne decided to update only its movement and not to touch its visual aspects (well, except?2 very little details that we’re not even going to mention now). With the Saxonia, the entry-level-understated-classical-dress-but-oh-so-nice collection of the manufacture, we’re in front of the total opposite situation: Lange keeps the mechanics (we’re not going to complain) and updates the design. But don’t wait for a revolution, we’re at Lange and brutality is not an option. Hands-on with?2015 collection of the A.

Recap - The Coolest Pre-announced Watches of SIHH 2018 So Far
It’s true… The SIHH 2018 hasn’t started yet. However, as every year, the game of the “pre-SIHH” watches (novelties introduced as teasers for what is to come during the fair) brought its dosage of new watches. In order to prepare yourself for what’s coming in a week, here is a short recap of the main novelties already introduced as part of the SIHH 2018 collections.A.

Hands-On - Chopard Alpine Eagle 33 Automatic (Specs & Price)
Fast on the heels of the Alpine Eagle Pine Green model, Chopard is also releasing six references in a new 33mm case size. When the Alpine Eagle luxury sports watch collection was introduced in 2019, the first time-and-date models were offered in 41mm and 36mm case sizes, moving up to 44mm cases for the chronograph models The new, smaller case size is evidently targeting women and comes in ethical rose gold or Lucent Steel – and combinations of both materials- with or without diamonds on the bezel. Like all members of the Alpine Eagle family, the watch and the chronometer-certified movement are developed and manufactured in-house. And perhaps the best news of all, the date window featured on larger 41mm non-jewellery models has been suppressed.Downsizing a watch while retaining its personality might seem to be an easy task, but it requires a comprehensive study of proportions and balance to ensure the genetic traits of the collection don’t get lost. Although there have alway
Dan Henry 1975 Skin Diver - Accessible Dive Watch Review (Price)
Skin divers are always fun as they're generally a more stylish take on pro counterparts (hence the name). There isn't a hard definition, but skin divers are smaller, slimmer versions of bulkier professional divers with depth ratings between 100 and 200 metres. Some folk prefer a vintage-inspired re-edition like the Longines Skin Diver, while others gravitate to modern interpretations like Dietrich's SD-1. Skin diving itself is recreational and requires less gear (if any) to explore shallower depths. Dan Henry already has an impressive retro diver, the 1970 Automatic Diver 40mm, and the new 1975 Skin Diver comes in four variants with accessible prices.?The Collector?Dan Henry isn't just a guy who created a microbrand. Many in this field find a horological passion at some point and try to fill a hole in the market with something new or innovative. More often than not, however, microbrand offerings are more of the same, perhaps with unusual colours or a cool design element. The man behind
Introducing Panerai Luminor Blue Mare 44mm PAM01085 (Specs & Price)
For long, the formula of Panerai watches was simple: rugged watches inspired by the sea, with Italian design, simple mechanics and large cushion-shaped cases. And, at the beginning a relatively accessible price that helped to create a huge community of fans. And then, things changed and Panerai became more complicated, more luxurious, more focused on limited editions. But as the brand’s CEO told us, it was time to clean up the collections and to refocus on what Panerai truly represents. And the latest model, the Panerai Luminor Blue Mare 44mm PAM01085 is just that.A simple but efficient design, a hand-wound, no-date movement, a no-nonsense package that goes back to the roots, a modern but cool look… The Panerai Luminor Blue Mare 44mm PAM01085 is a reassuring but also an important addition to the collection. Indeed, most of the watches launched as part of the digital Watches & Wonders 2020 were complex and relatively expensive models, playing with luminescence and/or inn
