Introducing The A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus Chronograph
If you turn up to the most important annual watch salon with just one model, it had better be good. And being A. Lange & Sohne, the watch in question will not disappoint as the Saxon brand unveils its first automatic chronograph movement – calibre L156.1 – inside its Odysseus sports watch. Regarded as one of the most challenging complications to construct, the new and highly ingenious chronograph movement dispenses with counters to relay elapsed times. Instead, and respecting the strong visual identity of this watch with its outsize day and date windows, the Odysseus Chronograph relies on two central chronograph hands, a reset-to-zero button and increased functionality of the pushers.The Odysseus, launched on 24 October 2019?– 25 years to the day of the first collection that marked Lange's revival – was the brand's take on the luxury sports watch, its first sporty-elegant' everyday model. Not only was it the first steel model for the brand, but it was also t
Patek Philippe introduces the 5712 in luxurious rose gold
The new Nautilus 5811 by Patek Philippe isn’t the only news of the day, as there are three further references under the Nautilus name. Although today’s release of the long-awaited 5711 replacement will undoubtedly steal the spotlight from the other “Nautilus class of 2022” models, rest assured, there’s plenty to be discovered with Patek’s super-luxurious take on the charmingly unbalanced 5712. Introducing the new 5712/1R in full rose gold and with a delicious chocolate brown dial.?As a true horological icon with a cult-like status perhaps only rivalled by the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, the Patek Philippe Nautilus needs little introduction. This luxury sports watch was first introduced in 1976 and has seen many iterations since. When news broke that the 5711 was being discontinued a little over a year ago, the rumour mill started churning. What would Patek do with its classical steel-and-blue sports watch? The answer is the white gold 5811/1G-001 rele

Anonimo Epurato Safari Black DLC case (Specs & Price)
Prior to Baselworld 2018, Anonimo, the Italian brand founded on the roots of what was left of Panerai when Richemont took it over, presented a new, more casual watch: the Epurato. As indicated by its name, the brand wanted to go back to the essentials, with a cleaner, slightly dressier and easier-on-the-wrist timepiece. Rather successfully received, today two new versions, with DLC-coated cases and sand-coloured accents are introduced, under the name?Anonimo Epurato Safari.Anonimo is truly Italian. Not only in its sense of design but also in its DNA. It was created from the ashes of another Italian?brand. In 1997, Richemont bought Panerai and decided to relocate the production from Florence to Neuchatel. Yet, some of the ex-employees didn't move and they headed the creation of a brand named Anonimo (anonymous in Italian). The main focus was on diving watches, designed by the military engineer Dino Zei, who was at the helm of Panerai for over 20 years. Robust, large, military-inspired&#
The TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7 (Specs & Price)
If there is one name that could best define the connection between cars and watches, it has to be Carrera. Indeed, the name has long been associated with two of the most prominent names of both the car and the watch industry. On one side is the legendary car of Porsche, the 911 Carrera. On the other is the cult watch of TAG Heuer, the Carrera Chronograph. And the two pay tribute to an emblematic race of the 1950s, the Carrera Panamericana. There’s hardly a more natural connection than this, and it was first sealed in 2021, with a partnership between TAG Heuer and Porsche, resulting in the Carrera Porsche Edition. Both brands now come back with a watch that evokes the 1970s and celebrates the 50th anniversary of the car that has made the 911 a true racer… Meet the TAG Heuer Carrera x Porsche RS 2.7.A Carrera story…Both Jack Heuer and Ferry Porsche were fascinated by La Carrera Panamericana.
