A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Minute Repeater (Price)
The minute repeater, often regarded as one of the most challenging complications to master, returns to A. Lange & Sohne. Unlike earlier models, such as the uber-complex 2013 Grand Complication or the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater that combine chiming mechanisms with other complications, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater goes solo. Shining a light on a new and improved chiming mechanism, the austere 39mm platinum case is married to a sober white enamel dial. The Richard Lange Minute Repeater is fitted with a new manual-winding movement, the 69th in-house calibre of the brand, and decorated with exquisite hand finishings. A deceptively straightforward classical dial, the striking spectacle is staged on the reverse side of the watch.The Richard Lange collection is named after the founder's son Richard who became partner of Ferdinand A. Lange's company in 1868. An outstanding watch designer, Richard Lange was also a prominent scientist and improved the elasticity of the balance spring by ad

Hands-On - Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer Steel and Sedna Gold Models (Specs & Price)
While we usually associate Omega with sporty watches – with complications that range from the date to the annual calendar or the chronograph, except that one central tourbillon watch – complicated watches are not really part of the Biel-based brand’s portfolio. This was until 2017, when Omega introduced, as an exclusive limited edition in platinum, a Worldtimer version of the Seamaster Aqua Terra. This complex watch now returns to regular production, with multiple editions in steel or in Sedna gold.In all fairness, the first platinum, 87-piece limited edition of the Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer really came as a surprise. This wasn’t at all what we expected to see from Omega. In addition to that, it has to be said that the execution was certainly a bit busy and very high-end – platinum case, gold markers and hands, hand-crafted enamel world map, textured dial and the usual complex display of a world timer watch… All in all, this watch was a b
