2021 A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Honeygold Lumen 142.055
If A. Lange & Sohne watches are often playing on classical design cues, there is one sub-collection that certainly has a far more modern and technical vibe, and that is the so-called Lumen range of limited editions. Born in 2010 with the Zeitwerk Luminous (not yet named Lumen back then), the collection has grown to become some of the most sought-after and desirable watches in the brand’s portfolio. Rare and exclusive, these models with sapphire dials are proper treats for collectors. And they’ll be happy to know that a new one is launching today, and it comes back to the roots as based on the architectural watch with jumping indications… But as you’ll see, this new Zeitwerk Honeygold Lumen comes with many new features, starting with an unprecedented movement that packs a lot of power. And, it’s also the first Lumen not to be made out of platinum…The Lumen SeriesBehind the Luminous/Lumen collection, there’s a rather fun story. Anthony de Haa
The 2021 Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Master Chronometer
Today is Tuesday… and in terms of watches, you know what it means. Omega didn’t wait long in 2021 to bring its first novelty for “Speedy Tuesday” and, clearly, this is a very important one. Today, Omega updates its most iconic watch, a model that has been practically untouched since the late 1960s, with the current reference dating back to 1997. We, of course, talk about the Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, the classic 42mm stainless steel reference with an asymmetrical case, the core member of the collection. Indeed, not a watch that can be updated without consequences. And here is the new?Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, which introduces the Master Chronometer Co-Axial Calibre 3861 in a regular production Speedy, with small (but cool) visual updates and new iterations in Sedna and Canopus gold.The Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional, until nowWhile this article isn't the place to make the complete history of the Omega Speedmaster – for this, y
Introducing: Ferdinand Berthoud Releases The Final Editions Of Its First Calibre
An octagonal case, a tourbillon movement with fusee-and-chain transmission and a pillar-based construction… The Chronometre FB 1 has played a major role in defining the identity of Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud. Released in 2015, it was the watch that marked the return of a glorious name, one of the most important of horology. Since the presentation of the collection, this series of watches was equipped with a demonstrative movement, combining constant force and anti-gravity devices (and a decoration done in the best possible way), the Calibre FB-T.FC. But it is now preparing to take a last bow, in the form of a final 38-piece edition presented for the first time with a round case; the Chronometre FB 2T.In 2015, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, the co-president of Chopard and the President of Chronometrie Ferdinand Berthoud, somehow made one of his dreams come true; the resurrection of one of the most important historical names of horology. His concept was to offer a contemporary visi
Panerai Radiomir Logo 3 Days Acciaio PAM00753 & Radiomir Black Seal Logo 3 Days Acciaio PAM00754 - Specs & Price
A couple of years ago, when the idea of buying a Panerai crossed your mind, you knew that a minimum of 6K would be required. Quite a hefty price for what were, after all, simple tool watches. Yet, it seems that a new strategy is taking shape at the “Officine”. After introducing new and affordable Luminor Base and Marina at the SIHH 2018, the brand is applying the same concept to the?Radiomir watches, creating its new entry-level offer: the Radiomir Logo 3 Days PAM00753 and the Radiomir Black Seal Logo 3 Days PAM00754. Back to basics and back to realistic prices – indeed, you can now have a new Panerai for less than EUR 4,000.A new strategy for PaneraiEven though Panerai is still one of the major actors in the industry, we can’t deny that the brand’s strategy?for the past four or five years has been rather difficult to understand: dozens of limited editions, highly priced watches, complex movements, new references with almost no differences to previous ones
Introducing The Tissot PRX Blue Panda Chrono & New Rubber Straps
The PRX Collection, Tissot’s take on the 1970s-inspired sporty-chic watch with an integrated bracelet, seems to be a never-ending story. Last week, we broke the news about the imminent launch of a highly anticipated version, the Ice Blue edition of the Powermatic 80 – a colour first seen on the 35mm quartz version. But there’s more… The Ice Blue PRX was only one of the new models released for this season, and Tissot has more under its sleeve. And that includes the long-awaited rubber strap, which will finally make the quick-change device useful. And there’s a new, rather appealing chrono too.?The New Silver-Blue Panda PRX ChronographFirst, and following the two inaugural editions released last year, Tissot adds a new colour scheme to its big and bold Valjoux-powered PRX Chronograph. The first two models had vertically brushed dials in blue with silver counters or silver with black counters and gold accents. Now, the brand adds a sportier touch with a new s
