In celebration of the 10th anniversary of its Tokyo boutique, A. Lange & Söhne has unveiled this 20-piece limited edition version of the Lange 1 Daymatic in 39.5mm white gold case with guilloché dial and blue hands & dial markings. Like the base Lange 1, the Daymatic features off-centre, non-overlapping displays and the iconic outsize date. Contrary to the Lange 1, all displays are mirrored and a retrograde day-of-week indicator replaces the power-reserve indicator. Powered by the automatic Lange L102.1 caliber. This watch will only be available at the A Lange Ginza boutique. Very sharp looking watch but good luck getting one!

IWC Schaffhausen unveiled two limited-edition Da Vinci watches at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in Geneva as part of the jubilee collection to celebrate the company’s 150th anniversary. The Da Vinci Automatic Edition “150 Years” with small seconds at “6 o’clock” is the first watch to feature the new IWC-manufactured 82200 calibre.
The IWC Da Vinci 150 Years edition in 18 K red gold and white lacquered dial.
The case and dial
The Da Vinci automatic measures 40.4 mm in diameter and 12.1 mm in thickness. Three variants run in the collection with two in stainless steel and a third in 18 K red gold. As with the other 150th anniversary models, the Da Vinci collection too uses a lacquered dial and is available in white and blue dial variants.
The blue dial variant in a 40.4 mm stainless steel case.
Perhaps the most significant feature of this collection is the moving lugs design. Aesthetically, the moving lugs resemble design elements from the art-deco era, but with modern manufacturing finesse. The case is very well made, with multi axis lugs, step bezel to reduce the visual effects of a tall case, and a bright polish all round. Sapphire crystal is used on the front and back, with a raised box sapphire crystal being used at the front, congruent with the vintage look that the Da Vinci collection encapsulates.
A line up of all three pieces in the collection, with a 500 pieces limited edition for each steel variant and 250 pieces for the red gold model.
A lacquered finish is used on the dials, perhaps alluding to enamel dials of the past. The color hue and reflectiveness of a lacquered dial are similar with those on enamel dials, but at a fraction of production costs. A seconds at six counter is used with arabic numerals and a minutes track. The overall style of the dial resembles that of the pocket watch, and is frequently seen on classic range timepieces, like the 1815 from Lange for instance. Steel double faceted sword hands are used as the hour and minutes hands.
The pellaton winding caliber 82200.
The movement
The newly developed automatic IWC-manufactured 82200 calibre with a Pellaton winding system boasts a power reserve of 60 hours. Movement components in the system subject to particularly hard use, such as the pawls or the cam, are made of virtually wear-proof ceramic. The skeletonised rotor offers a view of the movement decorated with circular graining and Geneva stripes. The automatic movement beats at 28,800 A/h.
The numerals and indicators are printed onto the lacquered dial. The step bezel design is used to reduce the perception of a thick case.
A better fit on the wrist is one practical benefit of using a moving lugs design.
Concluding thoughts
The overall design of the watch is refreshing as it is antique. While the case is sized at 40 mm the dial size wears smaller given the larger bezel. The resulting visual appearance of the case dimensions then can be seen as more classic, with a leaner case height and […]

Do you wear a watch to tell time, or do you wear a watch to make a statement? Maybe you wear a watch because you’re fascinated by the incredible miniature machine whirring around on your wrist. Maybe you’ve just always worn a watch, and it’s a part of your normal daily routine. In my case it’s a bit of all of the above, but if you read my recent review of the Mr. Jones Last Laugh Tattoo XL it’s becoming quite apparent that the reasons for our love of watches is constantly evolving. I’m looking forward to the upcoming Humism release for the same reason that I so thoroughly enjoy my Mr. Jones.
Launching on February 27th on Kickstarter, the Humism Kinetic Art Collection brings three new art-inspired watches to the micro brand marketplace. These are not simply static art pieces. Humism uses the energy of an automatic watch movement to create a living, three-dimensional, dynamic piece of artwork for your wrist. If you’ve ever looked through a kaleidoscope, you’ll have a good idea of what it will be like to witness one of these watches operate. I find myself literally mesmerized by these watches. Oh and by the way they still do an admirable job of actually telling the time.
Looking at the three designs on offer, my favorite is the Dasein. Watching it work its magic is akin to witnessing a flower opening its petals in time lapse. The Eudaimonia and Geist offer more of a circular pattern rather than motion exploding from the center of the dial, but both are still very cool. All three designs use a hollow and solid round pip around the outer edge of the dynamic display to mark the minute and hour respectively. This isn’t a watch designed to tell you the time down to the exact second. Rather, it gives you an idea within a minute or two. Look at it as a more relaxed way of telling time. I really can’t wait to get my hands on one of these pieces for a more in-depth review for you all.
The Kickstarter campaign launches on February 27th at 10:00am EST. Super Early Bird pricing will be $ 245, with Early Bird pricing coming in at $ 265. You can sign up for email updates over at humism.com.

Proclaiming to be the “world’s first 3.0 watch,” Frederique Constant’s Hybrid Manufacture was launched to great fanfare on 22 February, in New York. The Hybrid Manufacture combines a mechanical calibre with smartwatch functionality in a 42mm case that is the epitome of a traditional, conservative mechanical watch. A way to make us, at MONOCHROME, love technology?
