A Lange & Sohne recently introduced a new model, the Lange Zeitwerk.It features a jumping numerals mechanism that displays hours and minutes in a larger format - for excellent legibility.Inside is a manufacture calibre L043. 1 that utilizes a Seiko Stainless Steel Men's Watch constant-force escapement and a patented barrel.Jumping Numerals"The manufacture calibre L043. 1 features a jumping numerals mechanism for hours and minutes.
Designed according to the Lange principle, it consists of two minute discs and a large hour ring. Precisely once a minute, a constant-force escapement generates the necessary switching impulse. Viewed through the caseback, the movement presents a host of further forwarding-looking inventions. I really like the use of red gold and PVD on a big Seiko Stainless Watch 48 mm case and of course the tourbillon movement, although the six figure price tag is not very attractive.
The Casio G-Shock Riseman debuted in Basel this April and this is the watch that impressed me the most.It is big, and aside from GPS and a Compass, has almost all the functions available from Casio Classic G-Shock Stainless Steel Watch.The Riseman will be available June 28th, for $260.
