A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Up/Down Watch Hands-On
If there was such a thing as a "pedestrian watch" at A. Lange & Sohne then it would surely be one of their "more basic" watches priced under $50,000 like this 1815 Up/Down. Anything over that simply could not be considered "ordinary." There of course is jest in my words as A. Lange & Sonhe is among the most exclusive high-end brands in the world that given their volume (about 5,000 or less watches a year) produce the nicest movements around. Turn over one of their watches - ideally a chronograph, and you'll see what the fuss is all about.In the same year A.

Keeping You On Time: Central Watch In New York City
Many trains and hubs have been built America, but in most places we don't use train stations like we used to. A major exception to this is Grand Central Station in New York City.

AP Website Problem?
Yesterday I tried to login into my audemarspiguet only to find my account no longer existed (doing a reset resulted in 'there are no accounts associated with this email'). I had successfully registered my 15710ST on 8 April and received a confirmation email with the watch details and a statement, 'In a few weeks, you will receive a sticker to be placed in your warranty booklet. I had been able to login to my account up until yesterday, and so I called their service number in NY (646-375-0807) and was told they would have to get somebody to call me - apparently they can't look up anything but did say there might be a website problem. Nobody has called me back and I still can't login.Is anybody else unable to login? Also if somebody has a suggestion for a better phone number with somebody that can lookup registrations and warranty info, please advise or PM me. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
