A. Lange & Sohne Langematik Perpetual Honeygold - Monochrome Watches
A.Lange & Sohne's classic Langematik Perpetual comes of age and is regaled with a refined honey gold suit and some decorative touches on the dial. When it was introduced in 2001, the Langematik Perpetual was the first watch with a self-winding movement to combine a perpetual calendar with an outsize Lange date. Eighteen years down the line, the technical specs are identical to the original but the emperor has new clothes. Is it just a case of a new suit, or is this the final iteration of Lange’s beloved model?Revival of the fittestWith such an illustrious Saxon history stretching back to 1845, it is easy to forget that Lange's second golden age began in 1994 and that in a period of just 25 years, the brand has created a dynasty of spectacular watches and become the reference of German watchmaking. The Langematik Perpetual, launched just seven years after the brand’s resurrection, is considered one of the finest perpetual calendars on the scene today. Ad - Scr

Meet The Makers - Casa Fagliano, Boot-Maker And Strap-Maker for Jaeger-LeCoultre
There are many reasons we love watches. For some it's their design, for others it's their historical significance. What really caught my imagination, when I received my grandfather's 1960s Omega Constellation on my 21st birthday, was that somebody had actually sat at a workbench and assembled this micro-machine by hand. It blew my mind. Since then I've had an unrelenting appreciation for all things made by hand. My admiration only grew, as we dive deeper into a digital world where more often than not we can do things quicker and cheaper. But artisans do things for the passion, not the speed or price. They opt to do it the way it's always been done for the pride in the work. And I love that. In the first instalment of our new series: Meet The Makers, I had the privilege of sitting down with the man at the helm of legendary Argentina bootmaker, Germ¨¢n Fagliano.
