For SIHH 2017, Glashütte, Germany-based A. Lange & Söhne presents a new addition to the popular 1815 watch collection family that I think a lot of collectors have been waiting for. The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Annual Calendar watch, as the name implies, adds an annual calendar complication to the brand’s large assortment of perpetual calendar watches.
While A. Lange & Söhne set the bar high last year with the lovely Richard Lange Jumping Seconds and the very complicated Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon, the new Turbograph is complex Lange at its very best.
HM7, dubbed Aquapod, is the first aquatic timepiece by MB&F. And while this is not a dive watch per se, it does boast 50-meter water resistance, meaning you shouldn’t need to worry about going for a little swim. And it looks awesome!
Here we go. Monday 16th January 2017, 9am Geneva time. The SIHH 2017 is officially opened. And what could have been better than this A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Merite to sound the start of the show. In short, this watch is simply mega. If you are into watches for already a few years, you might be aware of the 2005 A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Pour le Merite, an impressive watch combining a tourbillon, a split-seconds chronograph and a fusée-and-chain transmission. Add to that a perpetual calendar and you’ll have one of the most impressive watches ever created by the Saxon Manufacture (after the Grande Complication), which is the brand’s highlight for his year. Here is the A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Merite.
MB&F astonishes with yet another interesting design like no other watch you have ever seen. Pushing the boundaries with space exploration with HM2, HM3 and HM6, with planes with the HM4, and the road with the HM5, HMX and HM8, MB&F takes their adventure to the water: the HM7 Aquapod.…
Baume & Mercier has just released a new collection of sports watches for the “gentlesportsmen” of the world. I give to you the Clifton Club. The Clifton Club is a nice addition to one of the more affordable Richemont brands’ portfolios, offering up a sporty, casual vibe with some pops of color. The Clifton Club is available in five versions at launch and here’s a first look at them all.
MB&F launched the first Horological Machine in 2007, positioning itself as an independent watchmaker primarily interesting in futuristic design. Ten years and eight Horological Machines later, (MB&F actually skipped over the HM7 a few months ago when it released the HM8), Max Büsser and his friends have remained steadfast in their mission, creating watches that look as if they were made without any standard watch parts at all. Today, one of the great pleasures of MB&F’s sometimes strangely shaped horological machines comes not when the watch sits on the wrist, but off, discovering the watch from many different angles. The brand new Horological Machine No. 7 is MB&F’s first dive watch and it might be the maker’s most three-dimensional creation to date.
The annual calendar is an interesting complication for A. Lange & Söhne. It is both greatly respected by Lange aficionados and yet it hasn’t seemed a huge priority for the manufacture itself over the last few years. Well, say hello to the new 1815 Annual Calendar from A. Lange & Söhne. This one’s a beauty, and it takes the manufacture’s annual calendar into very new territory, with some new tech and a new look. It’s the Lange you didn’t know you wanted. Let’s dig right in.
