A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin 37mm - Germany's perfect dress watch and Lange's new entry-level - Monochrome Watches
At the SIHH 2016, A. Lange & Sohne came with an updated edition of its most elegant and discreet watch, the Saxonia Thin, their vision of a slim and refined dress watch. Following the updates on the entire Saxonia collection (see the 2015 editions), the 2016 Saxonia Thin featured longer indexes and a cleaner dial. All of that was available in a rather large 40mm size and as of now, the thin Lange will also be available with a new case of 37mm, for an even more refined look.?And the best is that when the 40mm is priced over 24,000 USD, this 37mm edition comes for 14,800 USD, becoming Lange’s entry level watch! And now that’s a pretty big deal.The?A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Thin is visually a very simple watch, which only shows two hands (hours and minutes). The dial is as clean as you can expect from such a watch, with simple applied batons for the indexes and the logo of the brand. However, considering the 40mm diameter, it could be seen as – A – too large

Video Review Green IWC Portugieser Automatic & Perpetual Calendar
Green is everywhere. There is no escaping the trend, which has been seen in all kinds of watches, in all categories, and all price ranges. Green is the new blue, which was the new black, and maybe purple will be the new green? IWC is no stranger to the colour green. The brand has shown great creativity when applying this colour to different types of watches, such as the bold, monochromatic Woodland green ceramic models. With a drastically different approach to the colour, IWC has released a new pair of green-toned Portugiesers, and we were curious to see them in the metal. And here they are in our latest video review.?Green is undoubtedly one of the main trends in the watch industry today. Or maybe, green is simply becoming a new classic in collections, next to black, silver or blue watches… Time will tell. And admittedly, when it’s done right, green can be cool. IWC is no stranger to the colour green, pushing the concept as far as possible with a full-green watch – c
Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Bronze Midnight Blue
In just over a couple of years, Norqain has demonstrated a rather impressive coherence in its collections and also quite a rapid expansion. Right from the beginning, the brand even announced partnering with Kenissi, a renowned Swiss movement manufacturer (also working for Tudor, Chanel or Breitling), propelling them straight in a more high-end league. From all the models we’ve seen recently, the Freedom 60 GMT, a vintage-inspired watch with practical complication, has certainly been amongst our favourites and it returns this year with a cool combination of colours and a compact case. Here’s the new Norqain Freedom 60 GMT 40mm Bronze with Midnight Blue dial.?The Freedom 60 GMT, a watch presented in late 2020, was the first important evolution of the collection – the most classic collection of the brand, with the least rugged appeal. As explained by the brand's CEO, Ben Kuffer: When we began designing these new Freedom watches, we listened closely to what customers and
Back To Basics With The TAG Heuer Carrera Calibre 18 Chronograph - Monochrome-Watches
TAG Heuer is a sentimental favorite for me. The black and gold 1000 Professional Diver 980.029N was one of the first watches I can remember lusting after. A beat-up pre-owned Formula 1 watch was as close as I ever got to the 1000 Pro. Over the years I've watched the brand go through some funky gyrations as they experimented with smartphones (groan!) and leather goods (not such a groan) culminating in that famous period several years back when you needed to click through a ridiculous number of menu options before you could see a single watch on their website! Perhaps the identity crisis is coming to a close as we see the Heuer logo adorn a watch meant for racing.One of my friends from university and I have a plan: to make it to age 60 and begin racing classic cars. Frankly, we've both struggled to get to the point where buying, restoring and racing a car in a race like the Mille Miglia or Carrera Panamerica is not such crazy idea. We took our beatings when it was time to get beat-up. We
