Introducing the A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition (back with Pulsation Scale) - Monochrome-Watches
The?A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Chronograph is the entry-level chronograph of the Saxonian Manufacture… and what an entry-level watch!

Lange & Sohne Datograph?– quite a pedigree,?you’ll admit. Today, there is a new edition on the?market, the?A.

It shares the same base movement (in this context, the Calibre L951.5) and the same exquisite finishing but in a clean, crisper style.

Hands-On Atelier de Chronometrie AdC21 for Only Watch 2021
Atelier de Chronometrie makes its first appearance at the Only Watch auction with the donation of an absolutely stunning handmade watch to raise money for research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The AdC21 is not part of a collection and was specially designed for the Only Watch charity auction. Like other timepieces created by the independent brand, it evokes a vintage 1930s and 1940s design ethos with its elegant two-tone sector dial and pink gold case. A time-only watch running on a heavily reworked vintage Omega calibre 283, this exquisite unique piece will be highly contested during the auction.With its French name, you could mistake it as a Swiss or even a French watch brand. However, Atelier de Chronometrie is a Spanish company. Founded in 2014 in Barcelona, Atelier de Chronometrie creates unique watches by hand using artisanal methods and restored vintage chronometer movements. Just two years after its inauguration, the independent brand produced the AdC1, an Observatoire Chr
