New A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase Day/Night (Hands-on, Price)
The Lange 1 has been?the?anchor?of the A. Lange & Sohne collection since the brand’s re-emergence in 1994. Back then it was considered quite a disruptive piece, although still exceptionally elegant… and it still is. Another recurring theme at A. Lange & Sohne is the moon, which can be found on several watches from?the Saxonian Manufacture – for example?the Saxonia Moon Phase. So what happens if you combine both? You?get the Lange 1 Moon Phase of course. And since the standard Lange 1 received?a subtle but welcomed update in 2015, it is now the Lange 1 Moon Phase’s turn. Updates include?the addition of the new Lange 1 movement and a new day/night indication incorporated right into the moonphase indication. Here is the new SIHH 2017 A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Moon Phase (not to be confused with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase).Reference point – the old (left) vs. the new (right) A. Lange Sohne Lange 1 Moon PhaseLet’s be clear from the outset. Th

When introduced back in 1931, the Reverso was designed with one purpose in mind: protecting its dial. It was a watch made for polo players, who needed to have the glass of their watches (at that time still mineral glass) hidden – hence the idea of a reversible case. Since then, such needs aren’t relevant anymore but the Reverso still plays with its hidden surfaces to display artistic adornments. After the Reverso Tribute to Piet Mondrian, another (major) Dutch artist is on display today with the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute to Rembrandt – and with a stunning execution…Since the initial purpose of the Reverso isn’t relevant anymore, Jaeger-LeCoultre had a good idea to devote some of the hidden surfaces of the Reverso case to artistic crafts. There’s, of course, the typical engraving done on the caseback, with initials, an image of your choice or anything that will remind you of the reason why you bought this watch. There are some even more fascina
