Back in early 2009 I visited A. Lange Sohnes manufacture in Glashutte. It was actually the first watch manufacture I visited, and now almost three years later I have much to compare it to. It is actually a shame that I saw Langes manufacture so early in my career because I did not properly know how to appreciate it at the time. Dont get [...]

The perpetual calendar complication has been a fascinating and useful feature on high-end watches for quite sometime. Calendar functions directly related to keeping the time, and offer a variety of information related to the 24 hour cycle. Most watches have just the date, and the more c [...]

One of the best surprises at SIHH 2011 was how much I enjoyed the A. Lange Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon Pour le Merite. The regulator style watch took influence from a pocket watch made in the Dresden area a while back. It had three overlapping subdials, with one for the hours,? minutes, and seconds. Lange took the c [...]

To be honest when I first checked out this Saxonia Dual Time watch I didnt give it much attention. It was nice, but didnt really look like the A. Lange Sohne watches I was used to. I was frankly more interested in the Richard Lange Tourbillon Pour le Merite as well as the Zeitwerk Striking. It was only after returning to the watch later on did I realiz [...]

2011 will experience the release of this new fusee and chain transmission watch from Glashutte, Germany based A. Lange Sohne. To be honest, fusee and chain movement watches excite me a lot more than tourbillons. Not that they are mutually exclusive, but I really love the idea that there is a tiny hand-made (bicycle style) chain in a watch helping to mo [...]

Today I am at SIHH here in Geneva. But most of you are not. Too bad As part of luxury watch brands further embracing the Internet, they are welcoming modern times by live blogging at the event. Finally, the Internet is their friends. How far we have come in just a few years. In addition to other brands such as Jaeger-LeCoultre, my favorite German luxury wa [...]

Mysteries are things you cant unravel in your mind. Knowledge of origin is key to dispelling an enigma, and the pathway to appreciation. You cant have passion for something you dont really understand. I began my love of watches ignorant of what went into making most watches. True timepiece appreciation can only come when you [...]

I am in Germany maybe 10 minutes and the signs of watch insanity are in my face. On my 4 hour layover in Munich to Dresden I am surprised to see that Munichs domestic terminal is basically one big watch store. There is a huge open watch store in the middle with tons of rare brands, and those that you don [...]
