Womens Watch Wednesday - A. Lange & Sohne Little Lange 1 Moon Phase Hands-On (Specs & Price)
It wouldn’t be fair of me to write this review without stating upfront that this brand is one of my all-time favourites for a host of reasons that run the gamut from history to craftsmanship and more.

The Collector's Series - Talking About The IWC Big Pilot Monopusher Petit Prince
If you're following our Collector's Series column, the name of the man who's about to share his story should be familiar. Tom, also known as Wtt1975 on Instagram, has many passions. On one side, he's a company owner involved in car-related things – something that deserves to be in our Petrolhead series. And on the other side, he’s also collecting watches. Last week, he talked about his powerful Chopard Alpine Eagle. Today, we'll be talking about another oversized chronograph, a watch that also happened to be the first-ever chronograph movement in a Big Pilot.

Now, all of these watches, even limited ones, were made in relatively large numbers, and available worldwide. However, the latest version of the Carrera Chronograph 42mm is one that will require you to visit France (not the worst place to travel…), but it’s also one of the best-looking editions to date.The present model, TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 42mm France Limited Edition, is as you’ve guessed, a regional model that will only be made for the French market and in 200 pieces only.
