The New A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Moon Phase, now with Integrated Day/Night Indicator

The Lange 1 is the icon of the A. Lange & Söhne collection since its re-inception, in 1994. Back then, it was a quite disruptive, yet hyper-elegant watch… and it still is. Another recurring theme at A. Lange & Söhne is the moon, which can be found on several watches of the Saxonian Manufacture – See the Saxonia Moon Phase. So what if you combine both? You’ll have the Lange 1 Moon Phase. And since the standard Lange 1 went under a slight but welcomed update in 2015, it is time now for the moon version to benefit from the new Lange 1 movement and from a new day/night indication, right into the moonphase indication. Here is the new, SIHH 2017, A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Moon Phase (not to be confused with the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase).

Pre-SIHH 2017 – Baume & Mercier adds a GMT Function and a Blue Dial to its Clifton

The Baume & Mercier Clifton is not just a watch but an entire collection, which looks at the almost entire scope of traditional (yet accessible) complications. You’ll be able to find a Small-Second watch, a Complete Calendar watch, a Chronograph, a Chronograph Complete Calendar, a Dual Time, a Retrograde Date or a Large Date Power Reserve. Clearly, the choice is wide (and add to that some dials options). For the SIHH 2017, Baume adds a version for travelers, the Clifton GMT Power Reserve, which aligns itself among the range of small complications offered by the Clifton collection and adds a striking blue dial to the usual white / black options.

Introducing the SNSM Watch Project – Young Watchmakers Design a Limited Edition for a Good Cause

The Atelier Parisien d’Horlogerie (APH) is launching a limited edition watch to celebrate the 50th anniversary of SNSM (Société Nationale de Sauvetage en Mer) a French voluntary association tasked with saving the lives of those lost at sea around the French coasts. Nearly 8’000 people were rescued last year by the NGO, which has 1,300 lifeguards on staff and a further 4,400 active volunteers. The proceeds from the watch sales will benefit SNSM which relies largely on the generosity of the public for funding.

In-depth – A dead second to die for: A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping seconds

There is something definitively down to earth about the minimalist A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds. The pure, meticulous design is splendid; striking visual simplicity at its best. But there is a lot more than meets the eye. Underneath its dial beats a superb and highly complex movement with dead second, constant force mechanism, zero-reset and an end-of-power reserve indication, all crafted in harmony with the Saxon manufacture’s ethos of no compromise.

Reviewing the Ulysse Nardin Classico Manufacture (photos, specs and price)

Earlier this year we already introduced the stainless steel Ulysse Nardin Classico Manufacture with enamel dial, and we loved it, however we have not yet shown its sister (yes, a watch is female: la montre), the Classico Manufacture with blue sun-ray dial. The other day we were able to look more closely at this incredibly beautiful looking dress watch that has one downside: the dial is so appealing that people want to see your watch more closely all the time.

MeisterSinger Presents The “Peter Henlein” Edition, with Circularis Calibre, Gold Case… And A Gorgeous Antique-style Dial

Some rules are made to be broken. When you think MeisterSinger, you usually have in mind accessible watches (yet with automatic movements) and single-hand displays. Well, if that second rule is somehow a motto for the brand, the first one will be transgressed today… and we’re not complaining, as what you’ll see is a proper good looking watch. Here is the MeisterSinger Peter Henlein Edition, with proprietary Circularis Calibre, a gold case, a 5 digit price tag, a super-restricted limitation, and that crazy looking antique dial.

Discreet Elegance and Modernity with the Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Moonphase

There are multiple reasons that create appeal for a watch. For some, it will be the name printed on the dial. For others, it will be all about mechanics and the beauty of the finishing. However, what might be a common point for all is the intrinsic beauty of the design and the elegance on the wrist, whatever how nice a movement can be or whatever how delicate its finishing is. With the Frederique Constant Manufacture Slimline Moonphase, you’ll both enjoy a great elegance, especially in the blue version we have today, with the beauty of mechanics… and for a very reasonable price. Overview of a modern and elegant watch.

5 Cool Features of The New Glashutte Original Senator Excellence

Not so long ago, at Baselworld 2016, the Saxonian brand Glashutte Original, known for its classical, technical and finely manufactured watches, introduced a new collection, named the Senator Excellence. We took a bit of time before having a look at it, but no worries, we didn’t forget about this watch. And it has some arguments, as being an elegant 3-hander, with dress design (but not too much), powered by a brand new in-house movement family: the Calibre 36. Today, we have a closer look at this new Glashutte Original Senator Excellence and the 5 features that make it rather interesting.

Pre-SIHH 2017 – Ulysse Nardin Classico Manufacture Enamel and Hourstriker Pin-Up

As you probably know, Ulysse Nardin will no longer be exhibiting at Baselworld and will instead be part of the Geneva-based show, the SIHH – alongside all the Richemont brands, many independents and the other Kering-owned brand, Girard-Perregaux. Thus, we bring you the first piece of pre-SIHH piece of news related to Ulysse Nardin. Ahead of their inaugural attendance at the show, the brand has already unveiled 2 new watches: the elegant, restrained and refined Ulysse Nardin Classico Manufacture with an enamel and guilloche dial, and the Ulysse Nardin Hourstriker Pin-Up, an automaton and striking watch.
