Hands-On: The A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst, With Bonus Highlights From The La
Just a few days ago, we brought you news of a new watch from A. Lange & Söhne: the Handwerkskunst version of the 1815 Tourbillon. Let's be blunt. This is a gorgeous watch that costs $181,000 and most of us are just going to have to be happy that we live in a world where something this uncompromisingly beautiful exists, instead of actually owning one, but the watch is so good that appreciation rather than ownership doesn't actually seem that painful. Let's have a look up close and personal. 1 OF 27 The 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst was introduced at a ceremony held for international press and other guests at the Dresden Semperoper, which originally opened in 1841, with a design by architect Gottfried Semper. It's had, like much of Dresden, a pretty tempestuous history; it was gutted by fire in 1869, and rebuilt; it was almost totally destroyed, again by fire, following the bombing of Dresden in 1945, but was rebuilt once again and re-opened in 198

AP 15400 Two-toned...opinions?
Always love hearing opinions on the newer models, so what do you guys think about the AP 15400SR? I know a lot of people are not fans of two-toned watches watches, but I'm sure many out there will fall in love with the piece. The retail isn't bad either at $25,600.

AP Diver on Brown Hornback -PICS - as requested by PSV + TSW
As requested by Patrick (PSV) and Thomas (TSW)....I finally got round to doing this. Took the hornback of the Safari and stuck it on the Diver...I have to say I'm quite enjoying the look. The contrasting colours give the watch a very different look - and the quality of the hornback adds a nice touch. Very comfortable onMakes me want a black hornback even more...and a bracelet of courseWhat do you guys reckon?

Any funky experience with PP winding boxes?
Like your watch not quite being wound properly and stopping? I have two PP winding boxes for my perpetuals, and for whatever reason the watches run out of power while on them for a day or two. Yes, the little switch at the bottom is set to cal 240, the batteries are new and the watches face me when I turn the winders on... they SEEM to run appropriately at a gentle speed for 8 hours, stopping for 16 hours before resuming their 24 hour cycle (which is standard)... If they are running a bit slow, then BOTH boxes are running a bit slow because they seem to be rotating at the same pace.The watches run perfectly if they are on my wrist, and die down after about 36-40+ hours if I leave them be, which is consistent with their power reserve specification. So it's not the watches.Yes, the best winder is my own wrist - I totally agree with this. But sometimes when I travel and bring my 5711 instead, I kind of like keeping the perpetuals in a winding box to spare myself the adjustment when I
