A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Annual Calendar U.S. Boutique Edition (Specs & Price)
While A. Lange & Sohne tends to be quite conservative in its design, it can sometimes get a little bit more creative when it comes to limited editions or boutique exclusive watches – think, for instance, about the 1815 Chrono Boutique Edition or the Terra-Brown Saxonia. Today, the brand is unveiling a new version of the Saxonia Annual Calendar, which for the occasion has been spruced up with a new dial and a surprising strap. Meet the new?A.

Hands-On - IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition Rodeo Drive IW503001 (Specs & Price)
2019 has been earmarked as?the year of Pilot’s Watches at IWC. ?This has not translated into a complete overhaul of the collection (something that we applaud, as we think it is important to?keep the classical models intact) but with the introduction of new models in sub-collections – mainly?TOP GUN and Spitfire. Apart from all the watches we have presented recently, there was an additional model that caught our attention. Based on the super-cool Black-and-Blue scheme introduced in 2015 on the time-only Big Pilot’s, this year IWC adds a new model: Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar Edition “Rodeo Drive”.In early December 2015, IWC opened a new boutique in?Beverly Hills, on Rodeo Drive.

Limited to 250 pieces and available at the Rodeo Drive boutique and other IWC stores around the world, this watch intr
Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Black Sandblast-Polished Ceramic // Review
If you're looking for the modern equivalent of the Royal Oak, your search should start and finish with the Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic. There, I said it. That might be a bitter pill to swallow for some watch collectors.

When others were playing it safe, Bvlgari's design team - led by the inimitable Fabrizio Buonamassa - chose to go for the kill. To create something different, and exciting, and well, beautiful. And the latest Bvlgari Octo Finissimo Automatic Black Sandblast-Polished Ceramic is here to show it. From the way it looks to the way it feels to the way it sits on the wrist, the Octo Finissimo is a watch we'll still be talking about 20, 30, even 40 years from now. Just like the Royal
