A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Minute Repeater (Price)
The minute repeater, often regarded as one of the most challenging complications to master, returns to A. Lange & Sohne. Unlike earlier models, such as the uber-complex 2013 Grand Complication or the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater that combine chiming mechanisms with other complications, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater goes solo. Shining a light on a new and improved chiming mechanism, the austere 39mm platinum case is married to a sober white enamel dial. The Richard Lange Minute Repeater is fitted with a new manual-winding movement, the 69th in-house calibre of the brand, and decorated with exquisite hand finishings. A deceptively straightforward classical dial, the striking spectacle is staged on the reverse side of the watch.The Richard Lange collection is named after the founder's son Richard who became partner of Ferdinand A. Lange's company in 1868. An outstanding watch designer, Richard Lange was also a prominent scientist and improved the elasticity of the balance spring by ad

Introducing The Green and Red Lacquered Tank Louis Cartier
To say that Cartier has been prolific at Watches & Wonders 2023 would be an understatement. The brand is on fire, with so many new and attractive models, covering all collections, including a highly attractive Cartier Prive collection resurrecting the Tank Normale, or even a stunning grande complication pocket watch… But now, it’ll be about the most classic of the watches from the Tank collection, the Tank Louis Cartier. And it comes back this year in a duo of yellow gold, hand-wound models with Red and Green Lacquered Dials.?While the Cartier Tank dates back to 1917, with the inaugural model later renamed Tank Normale, the most emblematic version could well be the second iteration of this watch.
