A. Lange & Sohne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Watch
SIHH 2013 is in full swing and A. Lange & Sohne is not pulling any punches. ALS has announced the new 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, and it looks to be a complete knockout. Featuring a new Lange calibre, the L.101.1, the 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar combines some of the most sought after complications into one dazzling package that has been designed as a tribute to early A. Lange & Sohne pocket watches.The L.101.1 movement, which consists of 636 separate parts,? incorporates a rattrapante or split-seconds chronograph, a perpetual calendar, moon phase indicator and power reserve display. The L.101.1 is ALS's eighth in-house chronograph movement and sports dual column wheels, 43 jewels and a power reserve of 42 hours. As is the case with perpetual calendars, this ALS will accurately measure the date to 2100, at which point a one-day correction will need to be applied. Thanks to the unique way in which the Gregorian calendar is balanced, every 400 years we omit a tota

A Week On The Wrist: The Blancpain L-Evolution Chronographe Flyback a? Rattrapante Grande Date (Plus The New Lamborghini Aventador Roadster)
I've worn a lot of watches in my day, but rarely do I get to experience the world around which a particular sport watch is designed in a literal way. But, last month, I had the distinct opportunity to take two high-performance machines out for a spin at the same time - the incredible Blancpain L-evolution Chronographe Flyback a? Rattrapante Grande Date (a mouthful if there ever was one) and the brand spanking new Lamborghini Aventador Roadster.   The Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster 2 OF 73 Let's talk car first. The Aventador holds a special place in Lamborghini's half-century history. One of the few true unrelenting supercar manufactures, Lamborghini has long resided on the walls of adolescent boys the world over. But, incredible designs like the Miura and Countach do not always translate to sales, and while Lamborghini has always been synonymous with incredible performance and other-worldly design, it seemed as though there was consist

Introducing: Zenith Launches 3 New References In Its Iconic Type 20 Collection
If you’re anything like me, you mainly know Zenith for their El Primero Chronographs – and, most notably, for their El Primero Classic Chronograph that they released at Baselworld this year. What most people don’t know is that the 150-year-old manufacture released another batch of watches at Baselworld 2015; these pieces received less camera-time than others, but they’re all doing pretty interesting things – so it may be unfair that Zenith’s new Type 20 Pilot collection has been flying under the radar for this long. The first of these watches, and, the most accessible, is the “Pilot Type 20 Extra Special,” a watch similar to the past iterations of Zenith’s pilot collection with one obvious distinction: it’s in bronze. Out with the stainless steel, in with the readily-acquired-patina, am I right? The distinct choice of metal combined with the watch’s large onion crown, domed sapphire crystal, and militaristic case

Rolex Explorer 1 (current model)
I'm seriously considering purchasing an Explorer 1 and had a few questions.1. Can you jump in the pool with it? Swim?2. What is the typical service intervals for Rolex?3. Is the bracelet comfortable?

Could be a really stupid question...
Hi guys,I've had a lovely watch box for Christmas but my Rolexes are quite tight when fastened around the suede cushions. Will this stretch the bracelets over time? I have a DJ 41 on jubilee and GMT Master II LN on its oyster bracelet. The cushions don't seem to bend like the ones in the Rolex box do - I'm therefore thinking of using the Rolex ones as they fit nicely in the box. Am I being stupid in thinking that the bracelets could become stretched over time with the ��non bendy' cushions?! Many thanks in advance and I await the potential ridicule!
