The new A Lange and Söhne Datograph Auf/Ab | a. lange and sohne datograph
Written by admin on April 18, 2012 – 7:32 pm -By mono A. Lange und Söhne call it the new benchmark in chronograph design and we think they are absolutely right. The new Datograph Auf/Ab sets the bar at a new level and the improvements go beyond adding a power reserve indicator. According to many collectors the normal A. Lange and Sohne Datograph was already one of the most desirable chronographs ever made, only surpassed by it’s bigger brother the Lange und Söhne Double Split. Will the new A. Lange and Sohne Datograph Auf/Ab bring a change in that hierarchy? Let’s look at what’s been changed/improved. First of all the case size has increased from 39 mm to 41 mm.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duoface Watch Review
Written by admin on March 23, 2012 – 7:16 am -Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Duoface The original Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso was produced in 1931 for British polo players stationed in India. The elite group wanted a watch they could wear while playing the game without too much risk of damage. At the time watch crystals were mostly glass and were relatively fragile. The Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso case was designed to flip over and reveal a polished piece of solid metal to protect the crystal on the other side. The flipping case mechanism has of course been modernized a bit, but retains the same basic system as developed about 80 years ago. Last year Jaeger-LeCoultre fervently celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Reverso which involved the release of many new models, limited... more

The Romance of Rose Gold Watches | Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust
Written by admin on January 27, 2012 – 11:49 am -For decades, American watch buyers were enthralled by yellow gold, but in recent years that passion has largely shifted to pink and rose gold. Indeed, the rose-gold category has emerged as the leading precious metal available in today’s market. Its warm hues are derived by adding various amounts of copper to gold. The more added, the richer the tone. Depending on the ratio, the resulting color appears softer or richer, with each shade gradient assigned one of three specific codes: 3N, 4N, and 5N—from pale pink to deep, dusky rose. Rose gold experienced a wave of popularity during the 1940s, when pure gold was more difficult to come by. Postwar, watchmakers and jewelry designers reverted back to traditional yellow and white gold as the mainstays.... more
