A. Lange & Sohne 1815 "Cuvette" Limited Edition (For the 10th Anniversary of the first Lange Boutique)
While the brand A. Lange & Sohne was revived in 1994 (with the launch of an entire collection, including the iconic Lange 1), the first brand boutique only opened in September 2007. This means that this Dresden-based store now celebrates its tenth anniversary this year, and in order to pay tribute to 10 years of presence in the superb city of Dresden, A. Lange & Sohne have introduced a limited edition of the emblematic 1815, with a specifically engraved hinged “Cuvette” – dust cover or officer back – to make it really special.Lange opened its first “proprietary” point of sale in September 2007, directly adjacent to the Dresden Frauenkirche, a landmark of the baroque city which was restored between 1994 and 2005. This impressive and handsome monument is thus the star of the show of this watch, as it is engraved on the caseback of the new 1815 limited edition. Indeed, a rare fact at Lange, is that the back (at least in the beginning) did not di
Introducing IWC Big Pilot's Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Lake Tahoe IW503008
People who keep a close eye on Formula 1, and in particular on 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton might have already spotted this one, but IWC has just unveiled its latest TOP GUN family member. And it’s a big one, literally. What started in 2022 under the Colours of TOP GUN name is expanded once more with the introduction of the IWC Big Pilot’s Watch Perpetual Calendar TOP GUN Lake Tahoe IW503008. And sure, the concept of a coloured Big Pilot’s Watch with a perpetual calendar display isn’t entirely new, but looks oh-so-cool in full white ceramic!The ‘Colours of TOP GUN‘ sub-genre of IWC watches comprises a few colours so far, all executed in ceramic or Ceratanium. So far, we’ve seen the classical black ceramic, but also Mojave Desert beige, Oceana Blue, Woodland Green and Lake Tahoe white. It’s no surprise what this one is called, as the 46.5mm wide and fully white ceramic case screams ‘Lake Tahoe’ from top to bottom. The a
Chopard Mille Miglia GTS Power Control 2019 Edition // Hands-On
As the official partner of the famous Italian Mille Miglia Endurance race for over three decades now, Chopard celebrates its long-standing alliance with two limited-edition Mille Miglia models. Earlier this year, we reviewed the Mille Miglia Race Edition Chronograph dedicated to the historic rally from Brescia to Rome and back. Now it's time to take a closer look at the limited-edition Mille Miglia GTS Power Control model in a two-tone combination of stainless steel and rose gold. A more simple three-hander with date and power reserve gauge, the in-house, chronometer-certified automatic movement offers drivers 60 hours of autonomy.?Alexandra Pauli for ChopardGTS Power ControlMany of you will recognise this watch as the continuation of the first GTS Power Control model introduced at Baselworld 2015, and the more recent GTS Power Control Grigio Speciale of 2018.

Introducing the Jaeger-LeCoultre Duometre Unique Travel Time with hand-engraved dial (Specs & Price) - Monochrome-Watches
What is there to say about the Jaeger-LeCoultre?Duometre Unique Travel Time except that it is one of the best traveller’s watches created recently.

Buying Guide - 6 watches showing downsizing can be a good thing.
Downsizing is a word that comes with two faces. On one end you might feel corners are cut, you get less bang for your buck, and the experience is less fun. A good example is cars, where downsizing usually means less power, less performance and often less joy to drive. On the other end, specifically in watches, you might experience the exact opposite! It might even be the reason a watch you previously didn’t even consider due to its size, might end up in your collection after all! Examples, where the downsizing trend in watchmaking works extremely well, are the recent Nomos Club Sport Neomatik 37 and the Aquastar Deepstar 39. As ever, it’s all about proportions, comfort, visual appeal and above all; enjoyment! These six watches prove that downsizing in watchmaking can certainly equate to less being more!Hamilton Khaki Field MurphEarlier this week Hamilton release a watch that a lot of enthusiasts of both the original watch and movie have long been waiting for, a smaller vers
