The old money aesthetic has dominated the collective consciousness of the style cognoscenti of late, with influencers, celebrities, and brands alike rather loudly touting the best recipe for ‘quiet luxury’. The trend towards quiet luxury proved a sartorial sigh of relief from the endless logomania that defined the previous decade, however ostentation isn’t limited to our wardrobes; it’s also present on our wrists. While there’s no shame in wearing a watch that appeals to — and is recognised by — […]

15 Steel Sports Watches That Are Worth Their Weight In Gold

Theo Rosen — Sat, 11 Jan 2025 10:09:44 +0000

In the horological world, the least costly metal is also the most covetable, with the waiting lists for steel sports watches far surpassing demand for white gold, yellow gold, bronze, and platinum timepieces. While common logic would dictate that the most expensive watches would be those crafted from expensive (i.e. precious) metals, the high demand and—often intentionally created—scarce supply of steel sports watches have seen their prices skyrocket on the secondary market over the past few years. While some models […]

What even is a dress watch these days? With Rolex Submariners, Cartier Santoses (Santoe?), Tag Heuer Monacos, and Omega Speedmasters regularly spotted on the wrists of attendees at black tie events, the concept of a dress watch seems almost outdated. However, the glitterati don’t always have it all figured out, and for the rest of us, there is still a time and place for dress watches. What is a dress watch? A dress watch refers to a timepiece intended to […]

Theo Rosen — Mon, 06 Jan 2025 06:05:18 +0000

When it comes to the best luxury watch brands, there are a few key players that immediately spring to mind — Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, and Audemars Piguet among them. However, the best luxury watch brands go beyond the oft-mentioned names, including heritage stalwarts like A. Lange & Söhne, Blancpain, Breguet, and Vacheron Constantin as well as lesser known gems like Arnold & Son, Greubel Forsey, and Glashütte Original. While you can find excellent—and elegant!—watches at every price point (some […]

The Handwerkskunst Datograph Celebrates 25 Years Of A. Lange & Söhne Chronographs

John Deckard — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 02:51:54 +0000

25th birthday celebrations are often overshadowed by other more ‘important’ ages. 18th (drinking age!) and 21st (American drinking age!) birthdays are celebrated with aplomb, after which the birthday-haver is left to languish with a series of half-hearted reminders of the passing of time until “the big four-ohhh” comes along. However, the humble quarter-century is worth acknowledging. For humans, it marks the full development of our prefrontal cortex and kinda symbolises the solidification of adulthood. And for a watch? Well, it’s […]

What Is A Tourbillon & The Best Tourbillon Watches To Know About

Theo Rosen — Sun, 07 Jan 2024 11:58:20 +0000

Like many beautiful things worth knowing about, the tourbillon is also rather complicated. However, it’s not actually a complication. Confused? Let us explain. For many watchmakers and manufactures, a tourbillon represents the ultimate display of virtuosity. Unlike many intricate complications or movement componentry, the tourbillon sits front and centre on the dial, allowing wearers (and admirers) to observe the beating heart of the watch—namely, the balance spring and balance wheel—at work. While they once served a practical purpose, today the […]

A. Lange & Söhne Introduces Its First Self-Winding Odysseus Chronograph

John Deckard — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 11:39:47 +0000

A quarter of a decade after its modern reinvention in 1994, A. Lange & Söhne introduced its first steel sports watch. The A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus marked the German watch manufacturer’s first foray into stainless steel, having previously exclusively employed ‘noble metals’. While the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus launched into a highly saturated market, it offered its own spin on the steel sports watch category, with a distinctly elegant streamlined appearance and a circular bezel that deviated from […]

When it debuted in 2009, the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk represented the enfant terrible of the horological world, with the — dare we say it — unprecedented timepiece combining digital functions with a mechanical movement. Defined by its jumping numeral display for the hours and minutes displays as well as its constant-force escapement used as beat controller, the Zeitwerk was the physical embodiment of the German luxury watch manufacturer’s commitment to continually innovate and question convention.
