Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar Handwerkskunst (Live Pics & Pricing)
Last week, Blake brought you some of the earliest live photos of the new Lange 1 Moonphase anywhere on the net and today we're back with an early live look at another beauty from Lange ¨C this time a real monster. ?We say that because this watch, the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar, sits very high up on the wishlist of many a Lange collector, with its innovative?self-winding perpetual calendar, and hidden tourbillon with patented stop-seconds. But this is the special "Handwerkskunst," or hand-worked, version of this mega-watch, and I got the chance to see it in the metal just this morning in Palm Beach, at Lange's only North American boutique. 2 OF 20 This is the second benchmark Lange to receive the Handwerkskunst treatment ¨C the first was the white gold Zeitwerk, which, one year ago to the day,?we published live photos of here. The solid white gold dial is completely hand decorated, using a rare combination of tremblage and relief engraving. The result is just rema

1873 Family Heirloom
I have a PP pocket watch family heirloom given to me by my father and handed down from my great grandfather. PP of Geneva says they sold the watch on July 29, 1873, but they say no more about who purchased it. I wonder if anyone knows how I might go about researching the path the watch took up to the point when my great grandfather might have purchased it. My guess is that PP sold the watch (750 swf in 1873) to Tiffany's. The outside of the case has the initials "RW". Does anyone know what that means?

At Long Last!
I¡¯m aware it¡¯s a bit of a read, but I¡¯d love to share my story:I've had a love for watches for quite a while now. From $150 Diesel watches to my Squale 20 Atmos that I've worn lovingly for the past few years, the goal was always the same: a Rolex submariner. I grew up constantly eyeing my father's 16613LB. I recall at one point, long before I was old enough to realize the severity of my careless action, I put his watch on while he wasn't home, and proceeded to run around playing outside with my neighbor. I can still remember the look of his jaw dropping as he pulled into the driveway and I came running up to him to show off his watch on my wrist (still surprised he didn't kill me back then).At long last, my own turn has finally come. I made the mistake of lurking on TRF a while back, which only fueled the fire. I made it a point to begin saving up. Back in August, I hopelessly walked into an AD (#1) and asked about the Hulk. Naturally, they didn't have one in stock, but I gave them my
