Ricardo Amaral JAEGER-LECOULTRE, NEW RELEASES 2024, Chronograph, Limited Edition, Pink Gold 0

The iconic Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph collection has introduced a new, luxurious addition: the limited-edition Reverso Tribute Chronograph Pink Gold. Following last year’s launch of the stainless steel and yellow gold models, this new release adds a striking pink gold option, limited to only 250 pieces and priced at €72,000.

Exquisite Pink Gold Design & Dial Features

This Reverso Tribute Chronograph boasts a sophisticated 18k pink gold case, measuring 29.90mm wide, 11.14mm thick, and 49.40mm in length. The case features a polished finish and an ingenious slide mechanism, encasing dual sapphire crystal glass for clear viewing on both sides. This model is not just a timepiece but a statement of refined artistry, complete with a fluted crown at 3 o’clock, two rectangular pushers, a solid case back, and a water resistance rating of 30 meters.

Dual-Dial Detailing: Elegant & Complex

The Reverso’s signature Duoface concept showcases two dials:

Main Dial: Laser-engraved solid gold with horizontal lines, showcasing a refined monochrome aesthetic complemented by faceted hour markers, golden Dauphine hands, and a black railway minute track.
Reverse Dial: A semi-openworked layout featuring an off-center silver and black minute track with Arabic numerals, paired with silver Dauphine hour and minute hands. A blue centre chronograph seconds hand, matching the blue retrograde counter hand at 6 o’clock, adds a unique visual pop.

Movement & Mechanics: Caliber 860

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Pink Gold is driven by the Caliber 860, a hand-wound movement derived from the original 1996 Reverso Chronograph. This high-precision movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with a robust column-wheel mechanism featuring a horizontal clutch. Owners can enjoy an impressive power reserve of up to 52 hours, ensuring reliable timekeeping.

Straps & Customization

The watch comes with two premium strap options: a tan calfskin leather strap by renowned Argentinian leather artisan Casa Fagliano, and a classic black alligator leather strap with pink gold hardware, allowing for versatile styling.

Limited Edition Appeal & Pricing

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Chronograph Pink Gold is a limited-edition collector’s item, with only 250 pieces available. Priced at €72,000, this timepiece blends heritage, luxury, and cutting-edge craftsmanship, making it an attractive choice for watch enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Roger Dubuis Unveils The Knights Of The Round Table Omniscient Merlin Edition

Ricardo Amaral NEW RELEASES, ROGER DUBUIS 2024, Limited Edition, Pink Gold 0

Roger Dubuis once again transports collectors into the legendary world of Camelot with the newest Knights of the Round Table watch, the Omniscient Merlin Edition. This exceptional timepiece draws on the mystical allure of Merlin the Magician and showcases Roger Dubuis’ commitment to high-art horology with its 12 rose-gold knights, each posed in an action stance around the dial as if preparing for battle. Inspired by Northern Ireland’s breathtaking Giant’s Causeway—a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its 40,000 interlocking basalt columns—the dial scene represents a magical landscape steeped in myth.

Crafted on a solid rose gold base with intricate hexagon carvings, the dial’s background is meticulously created. It features hand-applied blocks of basalt, rose gold, black Murano-style glass, and transparent glass, each set at varying angles and elevations to replicate the famous Causeway. Each knight on the dial, sculpted in rose gold, stands at each hour marker, encircling the legendary terrain. Completing the dial’s exquisite design, Roger Dubuis uses matching rose-gold indices, a black chapter ring with the brand name positioned at noon, and two skeletonized gold hands to keep the focus on the grand scene.

This limited-edition timepiece is encased in a signature Roger Dubuis Excalibur case, boasting a robust 45mm diameter and 16.87mm thickness in rose gold. The design elements such as a notched bezel, triple-lug architecture, a crown at 3 o’clock with sculpted guards, and dual sapphire crystals provide an impressive exterior while retaining 30 meters of water resistance.

Inside beats the Roger Dubuis Caliber RD821 automatic movement, crafted with 172 components and 33 jewels, delivering precision with 28,800 Vph and a 48-hour power reserve. The skeletonized 360º rotor, reminiscent of medieval stained glass windows, adds a distinctive element to this masterful movement.

Paired with a luxurious black calfskin leather strap and secured by a pink gold triple folding clasp, the Omniscient Merlin Edition is limited to only 28 pieces worldwide. This exclusive Roger Dubuis watch is priced at €376,000, embodying the fusion of myth, art, and technical expertise that defines the Knights of the Round Table collection.

A. Lange & Söhne Marks 30 Years Of Lange 1 With Four Exclusive Limited Editions

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES, TOP STORIES 2024, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, Pink Gold, Platinum, Power Reserve, Small Seconds 0

A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its legendary Lange 1 watch with the release of four limited-edition models. To mark this milestone, the brand introduces two variants in Black Onyx and two in Pink Gold, each available in two sizes: the classic Lange 1 (38.5mm diameter, 10mm thick, 47mm lug-to-lug) and the smaller Little Lange 1 (36.8mm width, 9.98mm height, 43.9mm lug-to-lug).

Lange 1 and Little Lange 1: Two Elegant Variants

The key difference between these models lies in their case materials and dial colours. The first variant boasts a 950 Platinum case with a striking black onyx dial, while the second comes in 18k Pink Gold paired with a stunning blue dial. The larger versions feature a pusher at 10 o’clock, setting them apart from the smaller Little Lange 1.

On the exterior, both models maintain A. Lange & Söhne’s signature round case with a polished finish, smooth bezel, straight lugs, and sapphire crystal on both sides. A fluted crown is positioned at 3 o’clock, completing the classic design.

Dial and Display Details

The Lange 1’s dial exudes timeless elegance with applied indexes and hands made from 18k gold. On the platinum models, the gold is rhodium-plated, while the pink gold versions feature matching 18k pink gold hands. An oversized sub-dial at 9 o’clock dominates the layout, displaying hours and minutes with precision. A small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 4:30, adding balance to the design. Between 2 and 4 o’clock, a power reserve indicator provides a functional and aesthetic touch, while the iconic large date window, with its double-digit display, is placed at 1 o’clock, ensuring easy legibility.

Movement: The Heart of the Lange 1

Both the Lange 1 and Little Lange 1 house the same exquisite hand-wound Caliber L121 movement. With 43 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 Vph, this movement delivers an impressive 3-day power reserve. Through the sapphire case back, collectors can appreciate the intricate craftsmanship, including German silver plates and bridges, as well as the hand-engraved balance cock—a hallmark of A. Lange & Söhne.

Luxury Straps and Limited Availability

Complementing the refined dials, the watches are paired with glossy alligator leather straps, featuring hand-stitched details and a pin buckle in the same material as the case. Each Lange 1 edition is limited to 300 pieces, while the Little Lange 1 is limited to just 150 units. Pricing for the Pink Gold Lange 1 starts at €49,800.

Our Opinion

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 remains one of the most iconic timepieces, blending contemporary design with timeless elegance. Its clean layout, balanced complications, and meticulous craftsmanship make it a collector’s favourite. While these four-anniversary editions don’t introduce groundbreaking innovations, their exclusivity, premium materials, and craftsmanship will undoubtedly appeal to the brand’s enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer the bold Black Onyx in Platinum or the warm elegance of Pink Gold with a blue dial, the 30th-anniversary Lange 1 editions offer a perfect harmony of form, function, and luxury. Collectors eager to add one of these limited editions to their collection should act swiftly, as availability is extremely limited.
