2020 Updated A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Time Zone (Live Pics, Price)
For those of you living in countries where restrictions have been lifted for air travel and even for those of us who can't travel but like to keep an eye on the time in some other country, a GMT or second time zone watch is of the essence. As part of its 2020 novelties, A. Lange & Sohne revisits its Lange 1 Time Zone with a new manufacture calibre, ring-shaped day/night indicators and a new daylight saving time indication. Presented in three versions – white gold/black dial, pink gold/silver dial and a limited edition of 100 yellow gold/champagne dial – the Lange 1 Time Zone offers first-class comfort and service. Just ahead of the official release today, we were able to take some photographs of the pink gold version.The face that launched a thousand shipsThe Lange 1, presented to mark the resurrection of A. Lange & Sohne in 1994, is the most eloquent ambassador of the Saxon brand. With its multiple references to the founder’s 19th-century watchmaking adventur
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 15202IP Titanium/Platinum Smoked Blue Dial - Review (Specs & Price)
When we received?the whole bunch of novelties that AP was about to launch at the SIHH 2018 (and there was a lot), one watch stood apart from the rest. Strangely enough, this watch is far from being a true revolution.?Not that the RD#2 isn’t a stunning development, but we were all, at the MONOCHROME redaction, focussed on this new?Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Jumbo Extra-Thin 15202IP. Already stunning on the official images, we needed to see it in the metal. And boy, what a beauty it is.I know I might sound quite enthusiastic, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Royal Oak, especially the Jumbo Extra-Thin 15202. For various reasons, it is, to me, the one to have – if you’re into modern watches, otherwise the original 5402ST is a no-brainer. With its 39mm case, its thin automatic movement, its time and date display without seconds hand and its finely guilloched dial, it is in many aspects the version that is the most faithful to the original 1972 watch, a sort of
Introducing: Chopard Mille Miglia Classic Chronograph JX7
In their seventh collaboration, renowned race car driver and six times Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx and Chopard‘s Co-President Karl-Friedrich Scheufele have crafted a timepiece that honours the racing legend but also celebrates their 36-year friendship fueled by a mutual love for motorsport and exquisite watches.

First Look - the 2021 Editions of the Omega Globemaster Annual Calendar
Omega is primarily known for two significant and historic collections: the Speedmaster and the Seamaster. For more than half a century, these two models have dominated the show at the Biel-based brand, giving it its iconic status. But, Omega has much more to offer than these two sports watches. In fact, there’s a collection that is even more enduring, and that is the Constellation. Built as a more elegant and more refined range of models, it even includes a pretty complex and satisfying calendar watch, the Globemaster Annual Calendar. Three new editions have been launched a couple of weeks ago, and today we have a look at two of these new, luxurious and colourful additions to the Globemaster lineup.?Although the aura of the Speed- and Seamaster collections is unbeatable, there’s one collection at Omega that is even more enduring, and that is the Constellation. Born in the late 1940s, way before the two other sports collections were even imagined, the Constellation was the e
Vacheron Constantin Historiques Triple Calendrier 1942 - Review (Specs & Price)
In a piece of news that dropped on our computers a couple of weeks ago, Vacheron Constantin announced several new “Historiques” watches. As a reminder, this collection comprises the deliberately “vintage-inspired” models of the brand, including the American 1921 or the Chronograph Cornes de Vaches. With the?Vacheron Constantin Historiques Triple Calendrier 1942, saying that we’ve been impressed is something of an understatement. Beautifully designed, balanced, with heritage and pedigree, and all of that in an “accessible” (relatively speaking) steel case. It is now time to experience this?Triple Calendrier 1942 in the metal.The initiating piece, the vintage?Triple Calendar Ref. 4240When it comes to the “Historiques” collection at Vacheron Constantin, nothing emerges from scratch and there’s always a source of inspiration behind these pieces.
