A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Update 2022 Thinner Case
Looking at the entire lineage of watches created by A. Lange & Sohne, no other model can beat the Lange 1 in terms of cult status. This watch, which was part of the inaugural collection of watches launched in 1994, is now seen as one of the most iconic watches of our times and an fundamental model for the renaissance of high-end German watchmaking. In 2003, surfing on the vibe for oversized watches, A. Lange & Sohne released the Grand Lange 1. In 2012, the watch was drastically revised with a newly designed case and its own movement. And for 2022, the third generation of A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 will be released, with an even thinner case, new dials and design tweaks all around.?When first released in 2003, the Grosse Lange 1 or Grand Lange 1 was basically an enlarged version of the classic Lange 1, equipped with the same movement but housed in a 41.9mm x 11mm case. As such, the display was not ideal, with overlapping sub-dials, due to the smaller-sized calibre L901.2

Baume & Mercier have recently launched an entirely new collection, named Clifton, and yesterday they introduced the top line model of the collection, the new Clifton 1830.?This is a lovely?dress watch, with classic?looks, ?in red gold and with a proprietary manual wind movement. The Clifton 1830 comes in a red gold case, measuring 42 mm in diameter. The beefy case has lovely classic lugs and shows?more tasty details, like the applied numerals and stick markers,?the blue small seconds hand and more. One thing that I particularly like: it’s got a proprietary movement delivering 90 hours of power reserve. Ad - Scroll to continue with article The movement is, like the chronograph calibers used in the Capeland, exclusively made for Baume & Mercier by the La Joux-Perret Manufacture. The 90 hours of power, that caliber 7381 holds,?are stored in two main s

What to know about the Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First, a highly innovative concept with brand new escapement - Monochrome Watches
Dominique Renaud might not be the most famous name, at least for a large audience. However, passionate insiders have known him for decades, as being the co-founder of Renaud & Papi (now owned by Audemars Piguet and known as APRP). After almost 15 years of retirement, Dominique Renaud came back last year in the light; announcing he was to be part of HYT, as technical consultant. And now, he's back, on its own, with a revolutionary concept watch, mixing highly innovative escapement type, energy efficiency and optimal accuracy. The watch is called the?Dominique Renaud DR01 Twelve First and here what we already know about it.First of all, let’s put?the debate about design (shape of the case and overall look of the?Dominique Renaud DR01) aside, for a simple reason: the 12 first watches that will be manufactured are entirely customizable, meaning that probably none will look the same. This watch is a concept, a technical experimentation rather than being a watch meant to tell time

TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844 - Review, Price
This year, for the 2021 edition of Watches & Wonders, TAG Heuer has introduced a fully revamped collection for its dive watch, the Aquaracer Professional 300. Redesigned, more refined, slimmer, equipped with new dials, a new bracelet and a new bezel, it has been introduced in multiple variants as part of the permanent collection. Still, there’s more to this collection and TAG Heuer is also launching a limited edition model that pays tribute to the first diver’s watch produced by Heuer, the 1978 Heuer Monnin Reference 844. Meet the new vintage-inspired TAG Heuer Aquaracer Professional 300 Tribute to Ref. 844.The 844, Heuer's first dive watchWhile Heuer’s reputation in the field of motorsport-inspired chronographs was indisputable, Jack Heuer’s brand was simply absent in another important segment of the sports watch: diving instruments. However, by the mid-1970s, and like most other manufactures of mechanical watches, Heuer was having a tough time with the inv

Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle collection now in slate grey
Slate grey and pink gold is a combination that definitely works. Warm, contrasted and highly elegant, this is no surprises that a brand such as Vacheron Constantin, not shy?in creating elegant watches, already chose this color scheme in the past. Yet, today, they are pushing it a few steps further, as the?Traditionnelle Collection receives the slate grey / pink gold treatment on 6 of its models.All of these watches share common elements, which define the?Traditionnelle Collection: a round stepped case, slim bezel and fluted caseback; a railway-track minute circle, batons de Geneve applied hour-markers and Dauphine-type hands. Whether we talk about the simple manual-winding version of the uber-complex Traditionnelle calibre 2755, there’s a clear shared pedigree. These watches are “traditionnelles” in many ways, as highly classical, but not void of elegance… at all. This is now even truer with the new additions, showing a dark grey (named slate) dial with a warm a
