Close-Up: A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst
Germany’s A. Lange & S?hne marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of its founder, Ferdinand Adolph Lange, in grand style with the recently announced 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst, a limited edition that features a technological first for the brand and sports breathtaking dial and movement decorations. Here’s what you need to know.The A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst stakes its claim to horological history as the first Lange watch that combines two of the brand’s patented mechanisms: a zero-reset function (introduced in a watch in 1997) and a stop-seconds device for the tourbillon (which made its debut in a 2008 model). This combination of functions, Lange says, enables the user to stop and set the watch with to-the-second accuracy.Equally as impressive as the technical feat achieved by this timepiece �� limited to just 30 pieces, each in a 39.5-mm rose gold case �� is the array of finishes employed on both interior and exterior elements.

Baselworld 2013: The Watch Content You Demand
For watches-dealer coverage of Baselworld 2013 watches and other new products, we are going to follow in our own footsteps based on what seemed like effective?coverage of SIHH 2013. What does that mean? Well, starting this year, we thought it would be interesting to focus first on covering those products and brands that watches-dealer audience members said they wanted to read about. That way, the community is able to request what they see first from the show.Once again, we will focus on covering the show on the watches-dealer website, as well as the watches-dealer YouTube channel, watches-dealer Instagram feed, Twitter, and most importantly on the watches-dealer Facebook page. If you follow the Facebook page you'll pretty much get all the content in one place, which includes links to new articles here, as well as YouTube videos and random pictures we upload on Instagram throughout the show. Apparently, we've started a trend, as we are seeing everyone and their grandmother's watch blog

Baume & Mercier Hampton Watches For 2011
I remember the good ol' days when watches were modern and design was fresh and enthusiastic. Boy, those where some crazy times. We sure have come a long way since then. Today things are better and we've learned our lesson. Don't try to improve upon watch design or create new things. No one wants to buy that. What people really want is old watches. Well, new old watches. Boy, I'll tell youwhat a refreshing sight today's new watches are. No distracting innovation, just good old fashioned"old fashioned."So it makes me incredibly proud to introduce you to Baume & Mercier's "new" Hampton watch collection. Baume & Mercier really holds a special place in my heart for teasing me with the first watch I could truly not afford. That was a Capeland model back in the late 1990s. What a cool modern watch that was (back in those unfortunate times). Today's Capeland watch is thankfully stuck in a pre-World War II era.According to Baume & Mercier the Hampton collection is based on a watch f

Any chance?
Do you guys think I have any chance of finding the silver snoopy while in Japan? I am in Nagoya and have been to three dealers with no luck. I am going to try Tokyo next weekend but not sure if I will have any luck. It would be awesome to find it at msrp vs the inflated price they are currently selling at. If you have a suggestion on places to check in Nagoya or Tokyo let me know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
