Giving loved ones something that brings them joy is the best part of the festive period. A watch from A. Lange & Söhne expresses the heartfelt appreciation for our most valuable asset – time spent together.

1815 RATTRAPANTE capturing the moment

It is by nature that even the most beautiful moments are fleeting. By reflecting on moments experienced together, we can preserve them with all their facets as memories. The 1815 RATTRAPANTE helps us keep in touch with time.

As the eye follows their precise movements or complex switching processes, timekeeping becomes an experience in itself.

The 1815 RATTRAPANTE in platinum

This year, A. Lange & Söhne is realising the 1815 RATTRAPANTE in an elegant platinum case. Limited to just 200 watches worldwide due to the high level of watchmaking craftmanship involved, the masterpiece is dedicated exclusively to its eponymous complication.

In their entirety, all 365 parts of the movement represent the perfection of simplicity that Ferdinand Adolph Lange, whose birth year provides the watch family with its name, once elevated to an art form.

To underscore the technical sophistication of manufacture calibre L101.2, the moving parts of the rattrapante chronograph are decorated with straight-line graining on the top, while the circumferential chamfers of these components are polished. This allows the 1815 RATTRAPANTE to add some sparkle to those festive moments.

LANGE 1 TIME ZONEat home all over the world

Even if we enjoy reflective moments in close company, the time will come when we will be drawn back to distant places. The LANGE 1 TIME ZONE is the perfect companion for this, as the sophisticated timepiece brings 24 time zones to the wearer’s wrist.

It not only allows one to tell the time at home and in another time zone, but it also shows whether it is day or night and summer or standard time there.

The bright argenté dial features functional elegance and a well-conceived design. The larger sub-dial shows the time at home and is combined with the outsize date. The smaller sub-dial displays a second time zone, which is selected in increments of the hour using the circumferential city ring showing all 24 time zones from west to east.

Pressing the time zone button 24 times is equivalent to travelling around the world. The LANGE 1 TIME ZONE is as precise as it is stylish for travelling in the coming year and beyond.

The pink-gold version also wraps itself in a warm glow that is also appropriate for the upcoming festivities.

Perrelet – TURBINE Erotic Edition

 

Perrelet 1777SPECIALITIES "TURBINE Erotic" 44mm Special Edition 2022 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO  

Perrelet's iconic Turbine line offers the possibility of reinventing itself whenever desired thanks to its great versatility. It is no secret that the two key aesthetic elements of this collection, first introduced in 2009 with the patented Turbine technology, are the spinning propeller and its sub-dials. Elements that allow for everchanging decorations, giving rise to new proposals.

Over the years, many themes have been explored by Perrelet. From models dedicated to the world of aviation and motor racing, to fashion trends such as camouflage patterns or rainbow shades, to name but a few. But also, erotic-themed models, which the brand is relaunching by introducing two new versions in the collection.

Erotic timepieces, called “polissoners” in French or “conversation pieces” in English, have intrigued and fascinated illustrious personalities of the past.

The art of manufacturing erotic watches dates back to the 1600s (at that era these were pocket watches). But a real step forward in the construction of these time-instruments did not occur until the mid-18th with the introduction of the automatons to animate the scenes. The first pieces of these extravagant watches were made for the Chinese market. Later on, this eccentric passion spread to India and finally reached the European countries.

It has been a few years since the Swiss manufacturer's last proposals. Following its success and rising demand, Perrelet is pleased to present two new editions for enthusiasts of this style.

Erotic scenes on watches, which have been requested by watch collectors for centuries, embellish the sub-dials of the new “Turbine Erotic” references A4062/S2 and A4062/S3

 Sub-dial Ref. A4062/s2: Erotic scene with Japanese Hentai manga-style characters depicted in grey, black and red
 
Japanese Hentai manga-style characters animate two diverse erotic scenarios in the hues of grey, black and bright red. These illustrations materialize in their entirety during the rotation of the 12-blade turbine at high speed. A slight oscillation of the turbine keeps the subject of the paintings a secret and act as censorship.

This special “Turbine Erotic” series, in two different versions, is a limited edition of 50 pieces each. Case, dial, movement and strap are identical for both versions. What distinguishes them are the scenes depicted on the lower dial.

Compared to the previous Turbine Erotic series, these latest editions adopt the redesigned case introduced with the Turbine EVO collection a few years ago.

Made of stainless steel and water-resistant to 5 atm, it measures 44 mm in diameter and features redesigned lugs, a smooth flat bezel and the distinctive vertical fluted case band. The prominent crown personalised with the Maison's logo allows for a better grip when setting the time or winding the watch.

The famous 12-blade dial, a distinctive signature of all Perrelet’s models is protected under a sapphire crystal glass. The propeller, picked out in black anodised aluminium with five tungsten counterweights, rotates in time with the motion of the wrist. The faster the rotation, the more the erotic scenes on the lower sub-dials are visually sharpened.

Time-only in their functions, the hour markers mixed with even Arabic numerals, as well as the hour-minute hands are filled with white Super-LumiNova for optimal legibility in any light conditions. The red seconds hand enlivens the dial and matches the brighter colour of the depictions on the sub-dials.
