A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus Steel Sports Watch - Review, Live Pics, Video, Price
Here’s the brand new A. Lange & Sohne Odysseus, the brand’s first stainless steel watch that can easily be worn during sports and that isn’t scared of a bit of water. Is this the luxury sports watch that you were expecting? Well, better forget everything you know about luxury sports watches and anything you could have imagined beforehand. The Odysseus from Lange looks… like a Lange. But now in a stainless steel case and on an integrated steel bracelet. Two shaped pushers allow you to switch the day of the week and date indications, which adds a bit of a Zeitwerk-spirit to the new steel Lange. Let’s welcome the first Lange that you can wear in the board room AND when diving off the board into a swimming pool.Introductory note…Odysseus might just be the most polarizing watch in A. Lange and Sohne’s history. The Lange 31 was already polarizing and when the first Zeitwerk was introduced, I can assure you that not every Lange collector immediate

Buying Guide - 4 New Uber-Complex Chronograph Watches of 2022
The idea of this article came to life after our first encounter with the new MB&F Legacy Sequential EVO a few weeks ago. Looking at this ultra-complex, yet impressively intuitive and pragmatic chronograph – that was officially launched today – made us look back at the new chronograph watches in 2022.

A classic chronograph is designed to time an event; these chronographs, however, do far more than that. They either improve the technical characteristics drastically or have entirely new ways of displaying elapsed times – or everything at once!

It seems ages ago that shock race wins (and champions) were possible, but one season in modern history proves it is still very much possible. It just needs all the pieces of the puzzle to fall into the right place, as it did for the Brawn GP racing team in the 2009 Formula 1 season.Straight out the gates: Brawn GP is the ONLY Formula 1 constructor that has been around for one season only and crowned champion at the end of 17 races. No team before it, and no team since have been able to do that. And I must say that I expect no team ever to be able to repeat that. While the team's origins can be tra
