With Saxon watchmaking celebrating 175 years in 2020, Lambda and Ludwig are hitting the spot like never before, and their latest releases are the most refined ...

Watch Reviews,
A few years ago, I came across the following advertisement on the Internet: "This man is crazy; he's winding his watch by hand." That ad campaign wasn't exclusively promoting a brand, but a way of enjoying mechanical watchmaking, and a hand-wound timepiece over its self-winding counterpart. It encouraged people to ...

A few watch geeks are aware that 175 years ago, the small town of Glashütte, which counts more than just 7,000 people today, began setting itself as the "Silicon Valley" of German watchmaking and the most challenging competitor to the Swiss-made industry. Interestingly, NOMOS Glashütte, the youngest and minimalism-inspired brand ...

An A.Lange & Söhne timepiece is often celebrated for its first-class quality, not just from a technical point of view (let me highlight the Triple Split and the Zeitwerk, for instance) but for the exquisite detailing on their dials too. Any Lange watch undergoes obsessive development, which involves micro-engineering, extreme ...

If we set the Tangente Sport, which is the top-performing NOMOS Glashütte diving watch so far, apart, the Ahoi collection embodies the brand's take on the Sports watches par excellence. Those prominent, and squared, crown protectors are the hallmark of a timepiece (also) designed to ensure water tightness at up ...

The unveiling of the A.Lange & Söhne Odysseus represents no doubt a milestone for the brand: it is their first-ever full steel watch, to have been ever equipped with a screw-down crown and offer an integrated bracelet. In short, it is the business card of A.Lange & Söhne among luxury ...

A few days ago, while winding the NOMOS Glashütte Tangente Midnight Blue, an ironic and romantic old-school ad came to my mind; that ad states as follows: "This man is dangerous. He winds his watch by hand". Back in the days, I reckon that ad was (and still is) pure ...

The Saxon brand has a distinctive trait when it comes to new trends: it is a trend-setter rather than a trend-follower, and their last iteration of the Orion is no different. We are amidst the fashion week, and while I'm strolling through the main streets of downtown Milan, I often ...

There's a trait that is common to most vertically integrated watch manufacturers; they painstakingly look after every aspect of the brand: from media and communication to high-quality photography, and advertising campaigns too. It is not a given in the watch industry. NOMOS Glashütte belongs to this selected group of brands, ...
