Hands-On: With The A. Lange and S?hne Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst (Live Pics)
The A. Lange & S?hne Zeitwerk is a modern marvel, and regularly tops the list of editors' and collectors' favorite pieces of the last half-decade or so.? So, when Lange introduced an entirely new limited edition of this ultimate in digital display mechanical watches with a meticulously hand-engraved dial called the Handwerkskunst, Lange enthusiasts went giddy with joy.?

Formula 1 season opens here in my neck of the woods and a few Rolex Executives are around. Once again, this is pure speculation but watch this space.
