A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph - Hands-on with specs & price - Monochrome Watches
In the past years we have reviewed, what we consider to be the very best and most beautiful, among chronographs. I’m talking about the A. Lange & Sohne Double Split and Datograph. Although these two chronographs are relatively ‘young’, they?are already well-known, and beloved, among collectors. Their design is iconic –?something that this German brand seems to be very good at?–?and inimitable. That’s not just because of what can be seen on the dial side, more so when turning the watch over, you peer into its beating heart you'll be greeted by a movement that is absolutely stunning. After reviewing the mighty Double Split (as it’s lovingly referred to by collectors) and the Datograph, we’re going to have a look at their little brother, the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph.Yes, we called the 1815 Chronograph the DS and Dato’s little brother. To put things into perspective: there are 10 chronograph references in the collection

First Look: The Piaget Polo 79, Back to its Original Design and Opulent Gold Attire
When it was relaunched with a modernized and sleeker design in 2016, the Piaget Polo adopted the design cues of luxury sports watches, slightly changing the face of the collection to become a cushion-shaped watch. However, this isn't how the model started its life. This year, Piaget celebrates its 150th anniversary, and to whet our appetite, the brand brings back the unmistakable, opulent, equestrian chic of the original Piaget Polo. An integrated design with its trademark gadroons, it returns in late- 1970s full-gold attire. But if the inspiration is classic, this new Polo has been contemporarily reimagined, starting with its automatic ultra-thin movement.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese footballer who currently plays for the Turin-based club Juventus. He is also one of the most famous players on the planet alongside Argentinian player Lionel Messi of Barcelona. And as you can expect from him, he plays some serious “foot game”… but also some serious “wrist game”, as he’s been seen yesterday with “just” a paved, platinum Breguet Double Tourbillon ref. 5349PT.?Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo – or CR7 for the fans – has sported a couple of complicated pieces, albeit adorned with extra bling. The first one was a Hublot MP09 Tourbillon Bi-Axial adorned with baguette diamonds on a rubber strap. The second was a Girard-Perregaux Planetarium with tri-axial Tourbillon in rose gold.
