SIHH 2018: Review and Opinions by Alexander Linz (Part 1)

Let me share some thoughts about the SIHH 2018 and its novelties with you …  

This is my review and these are my highlights of the SIHH 2018!

In this first part, let’s talk about A. Lange & Söhne, Audemars Piguet and Baume & Mercier.

There are more brands to come in the next days, as well as some general thoughts about the industry and where we watch aficionados are heading to.

A. Lange & Söhne 'Triple Split'

SIHH 2018: The A. Lange & Söhne Novelties

A. Lange & Söhne this year focuses on some fine line extensions and a technical sensation. The ‘Triple Split’ is the first mechanical split-seconds chronograph in the world that allows multi-hour comparative time measurements. 

Discover the A. Lange & Söhne ‘Triple Split’, ‘Saxonia Moon Phase’, ‘1815 Chronograph’ in pink gold, ‘Saxonia Thin’ in copper blue, ‘Saxonia Outsize Date’ and ‘Little Lange 1’ …

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Homage to Walter Lange

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Homage to Walter Lange – A tribute to a legend!

To honour Walter Lange, who passed away in January 2017, Saxon manufacturer A.Lange & Söhne will bring three gold versions of the A. Lange & Söhne ‘1815 Homage to Walter Lange’ to the markets.

145 watches in white gold, 90 in pink gold and 27 in yellow gold.

And there is one in steel! The 1815 ‘Homage to Walter Lange’ with a black enamel dial and a steel case will be produced only once. This makes it as unique as the man whose name it bears.

The 1815 ‘Homage to Walter Lange’ steel version with a black enamel dial will be auctioned off for a charitable purpose in 2018. Walter Lange, always noted for his philanthropy, would have approved. 

If you ever wanted to own a unique A. Lange & Söhne, this is the watch you should look after…

An ‘1815’ with jumping seconds likely corresponds to what Walter Lange would have deemed the perfect watch. It is totally reduced to the essence while impressing the enthusiast with a puristic yet technically exciting complication.        

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst

A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar, presented in January 2013 at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) for the first time, was and is a remarkable timekeeping instrument. It was the ideal starting point for a limited 20-watch “Handwerkskunst” (= craftsmanship) edition. It is the sixth A. Lange & Söhne model with the “Handwerkskunst” attribute that stands for the particularly artistic decoration of the movement, dial and case. 

The confronted the finishers, engravers and enamel artists in Glashütte / Saxony / Germany with an exciting challenge: to raise the decorative opulence for which the manufactory is known to the next level with rare and in some cases revived techniques as well as innovative ideas.

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst is limited to 20 pieces and will be sold for 290.000 Euro including 19 % VAT each.

A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1

Discover the A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, Lange 1 Daymatic, Saxonia and Saxonia Automatic with the Günter Blümlein Blue dial

For those among you who still remember Günter Blümlein, I can tell you that this blue is his.

It was Günter Blümlein who once defined exactly this blue tone.

When A. Lange & Söhne now issues a series of four watches with Blümlein´s blue dial it is more than just an attempt to sell some additional watches and a belatedly jump on the already fast moving Blue Train.

For connaisseurs the four Blue Series models are a deep bow to Günter Blümlein.

I have seen the watches live and I can tell you the Blue Series models look gorgeous. All of them!

Blue is the new black! Not new, but true!
