SIHH: The Lange 1815 Moonphase Returns
2010 is Lange’s 165th anniversary, and to mark the occasion they are creating new versions of 3 well-known models in a new metal called honey gold, which is not only a unique color, but it is also nearly twice as hard as regular gold. Together, the new models are known as the F. A. Lange Homage Collection. Among the new releases is an 1815 Moonphase. The original 1815 Moonphase limited edition from 1999 was a hit with collectors, selling at auction for nearly triple the original selling price. This newest version will certainly carry on that tradition. Limited to 265 pieces and with a European MSRP of 18,500 euro, the new 1815 Moonphase case and balance cock are formed from Lange’s new and proprietary honey gold. Like the other pieces in the Homage to F.A. Lange Collection, the 1815 Moonphase also features three-quarter plate with hand-engraved traditional decoration. Of course the moon phase display is accurate to an amazing 1 day in 1058 yearsplete technical specification

Saturday Morning Rewind: One Year Ago This Weekend, We Went Inside Rolex, And Boy Did You Guys Like It
The goal with HODINKEE was always bringing you guys into a world that is, at times, seemingly surrounded by a cement wall of European conservatism and secrecy. Whether it's sitting down for a beer with an NBA all-star or silicon valley visionary, witnessing how one of today's modern masters make his masterpiece , or an in-depth, hands-on with the man who designed the most complicated wristwatch in Patek Philippe's history, I feel pretty good about saying we're doing our job. Still, one story in this category rises above them all to take you someplace where few have ever or will ever have access – inside Rolex. It was this weekend one year ago where I published the 10,000 word story that takes you, the HODINKEE reader, inside incredible, clandestine world of the most important watch brand in the world. 1 OF 1 HODINKEE is one of a small handful of outlets ever invide its Bienne facility, where movements are produced.

New to panerai... Where to start?
Hey guys,Looking at purchasing a panerai but there are too many choices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Picking out a Panerai
I own a Rolex Sub-C 116610 and an Omega Speedmaster 3750.50 and I'm thinking about selling off the Speedmaster and using the proceeds to get me started on my first Panerai. The thing about picking out a Panerai is that they seem to have quite a few products with an overwhelming amount of reference numbers compared to Rolex. I want a watch that can go with a suit and I think I've narrowed it down to an IWC Portuguese chronograph or something from Panerai preferably around 42mm or 44 at most, I'm just not sure I can pull off one of the really huge watches. I'm trying to build a decent watch collection let me know what you think would work in a two watch collection with the Sub-C which I think I will never sell.
