RECOMMENDED READING: First impressions from an A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus owner
Most of you reading this will have already heard of Gary Getz, or, as he goes by on his Instagram nom de guerre, GaryG (@garyg_1). But if for some reason you haven't stumbled across his 'gram page or heard of him at a horological gathering, believe me when I say, the man hath some nice watches. In fact, it's probably easier to think of Getz's collection of timepieces as an assortment of some of the most revered and sought-after grail…
My week with the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Thin 37mm

So, what makes the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds stand out (albeit in the most understated way possible)? Well, in a nutshell, it's a watch…

Editor's note: In 1994, A. Lange & Söhne released a watch that would go on to be one of their most recognisable designs to date. The Lange 1 is an expression of what the brand does best: manufacturing a dial layout that is less than traditional, but with a tension in its design that suggests it is the product of decades of refinement. A masterful balance of introducing new ideas while using a level of refinement that implies rich history.…
