A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Daymatic Tokyo Boutique Birthday Edition - Monochrome Watches
When it comes to limited editions by A. Lange & Sohne, you know it’s going to be rare, you know it is not a common trick used by the brand and you know it will end up being highly collectable. If, in addition to that, the watch looks as beautiful as the one we have today, what not to love… 10 years ago, the Saxon brand opened its Ginza-based boutique, in the heart of the world’s largest city: Tokyo. To celebrate this, here is the?A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Daymatic Tokyo Boutique Birthday Edition.The?Lange 1 Daymatic is the mirror image of the iconic Lange 1, the most representative model of the collection, created in 1994 – it was part of the 4 watches that were launched when the brand was revived. The Lange 1 Daymatic is not just the visual opposite of the Lange 1, it also adds features and shows technical differences. First and foremost, this watch is automatic when the “standard” Lange 1 is hand-wound. Don’t believe that the Daymatic

Introducing 2021 Longines DolceVita Automatic Art-Deco Sector Dial
To be fair, the Longines DolceVita has never been the most appealing watch of the brand. Sure, it is elegant and certainly well executed, but its rectangular case and “Cartier-esque” dials could never really compete with the attractiveness of the Heritage collection. It is one of those collections that is simply overlooked by the watch community. However, without entirely changing the recipe, the winged hourglass brand has just launched a new edition that might change the situation. Here’s the 2021 Longines DolceVita Automatic with a cool Art Deco Sector Dial.?As mentioned, the DolceVita is a collection that doesn’t attract much attention and is often overlooked – apart from being one of the watches worn by French President Macron. Till today, most of the models were equipped with highly traditional “flinque” dials – a machine-applied process that looks like guilloche – and Roman numerals. Maybe a bit too shy and too classic.

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar Travel Time 5326G (Price)
Although many were hoping that the demise of the Nautilus 5711 was just a marketing ploy – which it wasn’t – Patek Philippe had a couple of surprises up its sleeve, including the new Annual Calendar Travel Time 5326G. And new in this context means brand new, not just a new dial colour/finishing as in the case of the Chronograph 5172G or the Worldtimers. This highly practical combination of an annual calendar with a GMT function marks the first time these two complications appear in one watch at Patek Philippe. Powered by a movement protected by eight patents, the Annual Calendar Travel Time 5326G synchronises the date with the time zone selected. Although long-time collectors of Patek watches might have been floored by its overtly vintage vibe, unusual granular dial, modular case construction and more casual presence, we fell in love with the watch. Firstly, for its impressive level of practicality and secondly, for its refreshing design, a clear signal of the new dir

Back to basics: the Patek Philippe Ref 5370 Split-Seconds Chronograph - REVIEW with live photos, specs & price - Monochrome-Watches
Sometimes, it happens that Patek Philippe acts… differently. Recently, they came with the?Calatrava Pilot Travel Time Ref. 5524, an unusual (from Patek’s standards) pilot watch or with the Ref. 5960/1A, a sporty steel annual calendar chronograph with coloured accents. They also came with the Nautilus, a now classic watch that wasn’t so classic after all (back in 1976 of course). However, Patek Philippe also knows how to do what collectors expect from them – and this year, they are bringing to us what we will dare to call a proper vintage-inspired timepiece: the classic, high-end, complicated and super-elegant?Patek Philippe Ref 5370 Split-Seconds Chronograph.BackgroundIf you look closely at the Patek 5370, you’ll see that everything in it is reminiscent of past creations, starting from the dial, the indexes, the hands, the complication used or the shape of the case. This watch feels like buried during the 1940s and dug?out just because the hardcore collect
