SIHH 2018 - Wilhelm Schmid of A. Lange & Sohne, On The New Collection - Monochrome Watches
As with every year it seems, A. Lange & Sohne's creations are once again the talk of SIHH. Last year, it was the mega Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Merite (read our hands-on review here.) This year it's the incredible Triple Split, a truly unique complication that enables you record two separate times of up to twelve hours each! On a more sombre note, this year also marks the one year anniversary of the passing of Mr. Walter Lange (1924-2017), the founder of the modern-day A. Lange & Sohne. We spent some time with A. Lange & Sohne's CEO, Mr. Wilhelm Schmid, to learn more about this year's novelties and how the brand is paying tribute to its late founder.?As Mr. Schmid so eloquently explains in the video above, the focus for Lange this year is two-fold. The first point is to pay tribute to their late founder and beloved industry icon, Mr. Walter Lange. To this end, the Saxon manufacture is enlarging its 1815 collection with the 1815 Homage to Walter Lange, comprised of three

The 2021 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Green Collection
The colour green might be the latest trend in watchmaking and even refer back to Audemars Piguet’s groovy colourful stone dials of the 1970s, but it has another far more interesting connotation that ties in very nicely with the iconic Royal Oak watch. Green is also evocative of the evergreen or perennial trees that grow in the forests around Le Brassus, home to Audemars Piguet’s manufacture and headquarters. The adjectives ‘evergreen’ and ‘perennial’ also work very well in the context of the enduring appeal of the Royal Oak since it was introduced in 1972. For 2021, Audemars Piguet enlivens several members of its Royal Oak family with vibrant green dials, including a limited edition Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph in a luxurious yellow gold case and three new Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon models in pink gold or titanium and one version set with bright green emeralds in the bezel.
