TESTS & REVIEWS

GRAND ARRIVAL

By Martina Richter | Alongside its smaller sibling, the new Grand

Lange 1 embodies the identity of A. Lange & Söhne and represents

the continuous eforts of this German manufacturer to build the

best watches in the world. We look at the new 2022 edition.

 

GOING FOR THE GOLD

By Bilal Khan | Omega’s Calibre 1932 Chrono Chime is its

most complicated movement ever and a world’s-frst elapsed

time repeater.

 

STILL IN TOP FORM

By Martina Richter | In its 60th anniversary year, the Rado

Captain Cook appears for the frst time with a chronograph

function powered by a modern automatic caliber and with a retro

case made of trendy bronze. We tested this stalwart timepiece.

 

SHOCK IN THE CANYON

Mudmaster with sapphire crystal and forged carbon case take?

We took this robust watch on a canyoning adventure in the Alps.

 

LAURENT FERRIER’S TITANIUM TRIUMPH

By Bilal Khan | Te watchmaker’s “integrated indie” sports watch

serves as an example of balanced design, excellent fnishing and

real wearability.

 

THOSE WHO CAN, DO

By Alexander Krupp | A watch that is suitable for many

occasions, runs precisely, is easy to read, fts comfortably on the

wrist and can withstand hard knocks — the Nomos Ahoi Date

Atlantic can do all that. And now it looks better than ever.

 

DOUBLE PERFORMS BETTER

By Martina Richter | Inspired by the look of the 1960s, Certina

has brought back the DS-2 true to the original, but equipped it

with a modern automatic caliber with an antimagnetic Nivachron

hairspring and a textile strap. We put it to our test.
