Video - New Watches of A. Lange & Sohne Presented By Wilhelm Schmid
Live from Watches And Wonders 2022, we talk to Wilhelm Schmid, CEO of A. Lange & Sohne, who will present the brand’s latest creation and the theme for the 2022 collection. There were 3 main launches this year for ALS, starting with the new, redesigned, slimmer and slightly bolder Grand Lange 1, with a grained grey dial and ultra-thin case in white or pink gold. Second is the highly surprising titanium Odysseus, a watch with a new light blue/grey dial, new dial structure and mostly, a case and bracelet fully executed in matte-finished titanium. Last but not least, Wilhelm Schmid will introduce to us the new Richard Lange Minute Repeater, a highly classic yet technical chiming piece, with an entirely new in-house movement with several patents and an in-house made grand feu enamel dial, a first for A. Lange & Sohne.For more details about the new collection, check our video on top of the article or visit www.alange-soehne.com. Ad - Scroll to continue with article

Xavier Dietlin, The Man Behind The Most Innovative and Spectacular Display Cases - Interview
If you are into watches and happen to visit sales points or watch fairs, there are chances you have seen some of Xavier Dietlin's creations, without even knowing about his small company (watch the following demo video). Dietlin Swiss Showcases is a 12-person business specializing in creating exceptional display cases and windows. As the company celebrates its 165th anniversary in the metal work industry, we caught up with Xavier Dietlin to talk about how he envisions watch presentation in sales points.What is the story of your company?The company was born in 1854, first with metal work, then metallic construction work. I took over the family business but crafting windows and doors was not exciting for me. I happened to take part in a tender organized by Cartier and found the creative process really fascinating. I become hooked on watches and from there decided to take advantage of the company's know-how to create displays. Very soon it became our exclusive activity - 90% of our clients

Oris Aquis GMT Whale Shark Limited Edition - Introducing, Price
Whale sharks, the gentle giants of the ocean that can measure the length of a school bus, were classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2016. Illegal fishing, collisions with boats and entrapment in fishing gear are decimating the population of whale sharks. Despite their enormous dimensions, whale sharks are docile plankton-eating creatures that pose no threat to man. Conversely, man is the biggest threat to whale sharks. To raise awareness of their plight and promote a wider understanding of this fascinating creature, Oris releases a special 43.5mm Aquis GMT Date model with a dial that evokes the spotted backs of the whale shark.For the past decade, Oris has joined the bandwagon of environmental conservation. Grouped under its “Change for the Better” programme, initiatives from restoring, cleaning and protecting the oceans are promoted with the release of dedicated limited editions. These initiatives range from re

First Look: Union Glashutte Averin Chronograph
Back in 2008, Union Glashutte introduced the square-cased Averin. This bold chronograph watch looked quite different from most, thanks to a unique display for the date. A central three-handed pointer followed a three-line scale. Different, unique and quite fun for sure! Now though, the brand has decided to simplify things a little and morph the Averin into a racing-inspired two-register chronograph. Still following the design codes of the original, the new style highlights the square shapes the collection is known for. And yes, before you bring out your pitchforks, we will address the obvious at the end of the article.The previous Averin Chronograph and its unique date indication.Union Glashutte’s Averin collection has always relied on the sort of rounded square shape for its case, and that tradition is upheld here as well. The size comes down to 41mm by 41mm, with a height of 15.35mm from top to bottom. The case is finished with brushed and polished accents or black DLC-coated f

Vacheron Constantin Overseas Steel and Titanium - Monochrome Watches
The Vacheron Constantin Overseas is one of the watches that I’ve liked since I first saw it. So a post about this watch has been long overdue. Recently I visted Brussels for a nice weekend and I just happened to walk by a Vacheron Constantin dealer. In the window they had the Overseas Chronograph Steel & Titanium on display, a model that I hadn’t seen or touched so I went in to have a look. Not sure if that was a smart move, because it’s an absolute gorgeous watch and it moved up in the wishlist with lightning speed.The first models of the Overseas Steel & Titanium collection?where launched in the summer of 2009. These where the?Overseas Automatic and the Overseas Automatic Chronograph. Both? feature a monochromatic (gosh, I love that word) grey theme with finely brushed stainless steel cases and anthracite titanium bezels. In 2010 Vacheron Constantin launched another model in this collection, the Overseas Dual Time Steel & Titanium. Ad - Scroll
