A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch Hands-On
One of A. Lange & Sohne’s more quiet new releases for 2012 was this redesigned version of the Grand Lange 1 watch. Last year they released the great looking Lange 1 Daymatic with an automatic movement, and this year the Lange 1′s slightly bigger brother gets and update. This model is really something that mostly dedicated A. Lange & Sohne fans are going to understand, as it isn’t clearly an update, but more a slight revision.
Dubey & Schaldenbrand Grand Dome Watch Hands-On
Swiss watch brand Dubey & Schaldenbrand is back after a slight hiatus and some internal reorganization. Their US distribution is also brand new. The newly livened Dubey & Schalden-brand (get it?) features three new models including this pretty Grand Dome collection. Set in a tonneau style case, this is the result of a lot of [...]
Eberhard & Co. Champion V Watches
For 2012 Eberhard & Co. will release these two rather clean looking sport watches called the Champion V.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso 1931 Rouge Watch
Now isn’t that pretty? This is a special Milan Boutique edition of the newer Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin watch. The version with the limited “heritage” dial that is.

Jaeger-LeCoultre Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin Watch Hands-On
Jaeger-LeCoultre’s answer to the thin watch in 2011 was with their Reverso. Many of the Richemont brands were releasing their own slim watches, and I think the Grande Reverso Ultra-Thin is one of the sleeker models. As of now it will come in at least four versions. Some unlimited models including one with a more [...]

Gerald Genta Arena Metasonic Sonnerie Watch – $900,000
Whoa there Gerald Genta (and I speak to the company, not the man – as he isn’t part of the brand any more). What is going on here? Where did this come from? Last thing I expected from you was a highly sophisticated sonnerie watch. You say that you have been doing this for a [...]
Tag Heuer Formula 1 Grande Date Watch
I’ll take this watch please. Literally I want to sign for it right now. I’ve always been a big fan of Tag Heuer Formula 1 watches, and this latest iteration goes right back to the simplistic good looks that made this line of timepieces so incredibly desirable for me. While the watch is considered part [...]
