At SIHH 2016, A. Lange Sohne presents its extended Lange 1 watch range after introducing the newly updated line last year in 2015. The A. Lange Sohne Lange 1 is now available in white gold, in addition to the yellow gold, pink gold, and platinum versions that are already available. Unsurprisingly, the result looks great,?and the brand has also applied luminous hands and markers to the watch.
Based in Holstein, Oris is one of the few remaining independent Swiss watchmakers in an industry dominated by large conglomerates. Aviation has always been a strong focus for the brand, and they began producing their big crown pilot watches back in 1938. For the past few years, Oris has partnered with the air-rescue foundation Rega, an independent, humanitarian body [...]
Although my feelings toward the new 18k pink gold version of the A. Lange Sohne Datograph Up/Down watch are overwhelmingly good, when I originally put the watch on my wrist at SIHH 2015, I had some feeling about what it could mean for the brand given the trajectory of other similar brands. Even th [...]
Swiss Oris watches recently debuted a new limited-edition divers watch that is its first dive watch in solid gold, and the second timepiece produced in collaboration with the Coral Restoration Foundation charity organization (based in Key Largo, Florida). For the brand that markets itself as making real watches for real people, producing a solid go [...]
Sponsored post presented on by advertiserWhen it comes to brands that have made a lasting impact on horology, few can match the accomplishments of Perrelets founder and namesake, Abraham-Louis Perrelet. Born in the village of Le Locle in the Swiss Neuchatel mountains in 1729 , Perrelets greatest and most lasting achievement was the development of the automatic, self-winding [...]
The hottest mens watch collection within Bulgari is the Octo, and within that, the hottest sub-family is the very thin (in fact record breaking thin) Octo Finissimo with its several variants. At Baselworld 2017 Bulgari added another very important model into the Octo Finissimo family with the Octo Finissimo Automatic (hands-on here). That supplemen [...]
Above is the actual Hamilton watch prop used in Interstellar by the character Murph (Murphy) Cooper. Like many people around the world, I was highly entertained by Christopher Nolans newest (at the time of writing) movie Interstellar, starring the talented Matthew McConaughey, among other A-list actors. The scienc [...]
A few weeks back at Watches Wonders 2021, we saw Panerai release a new chronograph watch collection, as well as a new chronograph movement. For a brand with a history and design legacy so closely associated with diving to make such an investment in developing its chronographs is a curious, and risky, move. Making something of a value play, the new Panerai Luminor Chrono coll [...]
SIHH 2013 will see the release of a brand new version of the now well-known Montblanc Nicolas Rieussec watch. I find it rather interesting to see how Montblanc continues to explore and expand this collection that started the in-house made Montblanc movement watch collection. Made in Le Locle, timepie [...]
Written by Ashley Sandeman and edited by Ariel AdamsThe first time I saw a Star Trek replicator, I knew I had to have one. And high on the list of objects Id like to print at home is my own mechanical watch. But despite all the promises of 3D printing technology, miniaturizing metallic parts at a watchmaking scale has remained elusive. Hopes, however, remain high [...]
Like many modern watchmakers, Corum has had an interesting time over the last few years. Through ups and downs, the brand circa 2016 is rediscovering itself as well as recalling some of the personalities that made the modern brand interesting. Corum of old (like 10-15 years ago) was a true innovator in terms of style and [...]
When it comes to higher-end watches, there are two schools of thought. Actually, its much like anything else that requires larger sums of disposable income.?You can decide to fly under the radar, or you can blatantly call attention to what youve got.?Are you hitting the streets in a 9 [...]
Special Content For BulgariWhen we talk about watches, there is such a large number and wide variety of?components?to?consider - however, the case actually is one of very few components of a timepiece we actually touch, feel, and interact with. A lesser-known fact is that while watch movements do seem to take most of the credit when it comes to complexity and precision i [...]
For Baselworld 2018, Tokyo-based Citizen unveiled a re-designed chronograph model that directly channels their 1972 Challenge Timer series of watches. The watches had a reasonable following due to what is known as the Bullhead structure-meaning that the crown and pushers are at 12 oclock instead of the traditional 3 oclock position. The Citizen Tsuno Chron [...]
So here is something new from Roger Dubuis, and it is not just a very impressive looking pocket watch, but also something that the Swiss luxury watch brand hopes will be a new tradition for them. Known simply as the Roger Dubuis Hommage Millesime pocket watch, this item is a one-of-a-kind creation [...]
has been producing some buying guides for eBay, and weve got a fresh new batch to share. Now, we know that many watch people know the ins and outs of how to buy, sell, and trade watches online. However, more casual or beginning people who dont have the confidence of experience can find themselves overwhelmed, intimidated, and pl [...]
Things are getting a bit weird when brands start making limited edition timepieces for Baselworld. That would be like auto makers producing special cars to debut at auto shows, that are done in honor of those auto shows. It starts to turn into a cyclical argument. This piece is the new Rado D-Star. In addition to be being a Basel Special piece, it [...]

The more accessible of the two is the Parmigiani Kalpagraphe Chronometre and the more exclusive of the two is the Parmigiani Kalpa Chronor. What really separates these tw [...]
