Watch new 2012 A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 combines the two classic complications and purposes as the tourbillon and perpetual calendar.

With the off-center hour dial Lange 1 is designed to provide a very clear vision of the calendar. Inter alia, the manufacturing has thought to have an indication of the months of a ring placed in the distal part of the dial, a choice that has the advantage of not hinder at all the reading time.

The tourbillon with patented stop seconds device, but is mentioned on the front with a sign at 12, but it is only visible through the transparent back.

This new solution has been filed a patent application. All indicators of the perpetual calendar – Big Date, retrograde day of the week, Ring of the month, leap year indication and moon phase – move with an instantaneous tripping. The mechanism will require to be adjusted manually until 1 March in the year 2100. The lunar phases have the accuracy to lose only one day every 122 years.

The flying tourbillon, a variant of the complication originated in Saxony, makes a complete rotation in one minute. The mechanism of regulation of seconds – Patented-allows pulling the crown to lock the bar for a precise start time.

The power reserve is 50 hours and, as said before, this would be achieved and maintained, in a short time. It ‘a different approach to the need for constant force tourbillon every need by definition.

That said, the Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar is expressed in the usual finishes of the highest level. The bridge of the tourbillon and the half-bridge of the intermediate wheel is engraved by hand, the four settings of gold are fixed by four screws screwed blued heat.

The top of the tourbillon cage, not visible from the dial is finished in an even more accurate and meticulous: polish in black on an item so small, angled and complex, can take days of work. The pin which is still the tourbillon has a pin cover in pure diamond.

The next edition of Baselworld is held from 8 to 15 March: among industry insiders a cautious optimism reigns comforted by the excellent results mark made by the sector over the past year. Watchmakers, jewelers and suppliers are finalizing the last tolls to their collections. Here is a preview of some fashion, trends, brands and trends that take place at the show.

The look
Modified according to the contemporary aesthetic codes, vintage style is now some years to the headlines. A growing number of collections that revisiting the models that have made history and world of Swiss watchmaking. Easy, ultra flat speaker, useful features, and comfort seem to be among the dominant trends of Baselworld 2012. A return to origins which also involves the movement of mechanisms, in which the automatic Caliber seems to be experiencing some of the most in vogue of his eternal career.

Used as a heart in the center of additional modules in almost all cases is always visible through transparent sapphire bottoms, showing a greater care for the decor which is increasingly subject. Never before this year, the tourbillon complication is ubiquitous: it is adopted by brands that have made the history of mechanical horology, as in trademarks and above models never seen before. The Motor Show will mark a return to boxes of smaller size eforme traditional.

It is expected an increase in the movements and dials of timepieces with dentures, or “open”. Alongside the classic monochrome and two-tone colors, it is rumored the usual black, white and silver – with its shades – and an ever-increasing preference for blue, especially in the “royal”.

Inspired more by the past, increases in the behavior of the Swiss daily care to pay homage to the signs that have marked the Centuries. So the art of watchmaking crafts such as enamelling, engraving, guilloche are increasingly represented in the new Baselworld 2012 . Movements, dials, and finishes with three-dimensional effects are also part of the offer.

The functions
Whether new or remake, the clocks will aim to offer more useful features and complications: trends mark an escape, when possible, by the turns of the technology for a return to when timepieces were used mainly for functions provided.

So there will be many models with second time zone or GMT, and equipped with world time, to accompany those who travel often. The fashionable for a long life for chronographs and triple-compax bi-compax sports look to the ’60s or military watches, all continue to be the object of desire of choice for many enthusiasts.

Innovation
With nearly 2,000 exhibitors at Baselworld 2012 is usually a great opportunity for someone to show news from a future yet to be determined. Whether looking for independent watchmakers acting in a manner never before seen the traditions, or big brands, small businesses or just born, they will be playing their cards a lot on innovation.

What does he ever combining to Baselworld 2012 Thomas Prescher? Well not exactly have the slightest idea even if the last few weeks is a bit ‘that the friendly and genial independent watchmaker AHCI Twann likes to tease me by sending me pictures of some strange Egyptian sarcophagi and mummies from ancient times …

Yet this time, is cooking something very different than usual if Thomas, to tell the news that will bring at Baselworld – svelandola a bit ‘at a time – a few hours ago has begun to show very strange objects that inspired the idea, obviously well before he decided the time had come to realize it.

As an “Indiana Jones” of ‘ watch Prescher is weaving her mysterious adventure, including Egyptian mummies, the works of Vivaldi, the Suez Canal, and here also turn on “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea” by Jules Verne, Nautilus, and The Maelstrom – in Norwegian moskstraumen, “current Mosken” (read from Wikipedia).

Prescher wrote in his website: “It seems that some archaeologists have found a large capsule containing a multitude of historical exhibits inside. The interesting fact is that each of these objects comes from a different era. Both the capsule and the objects seem to be connected between the gold and underwater naval technologies. The first surveys seem that the capsule has been used for storing stolen property… “.

After having carefully examined the archaeologists have concluded that he found a collection of objects of a scientist who may have been able to have free access to the development of equipment that is not available at that time, and even today. A sort of Galileo and Da Vinci.

And where will the independent watchmaker going with this?

On a league mysterious, never used in the watch? On a new complication that inspired someone to watch these strange objects found? Everything can be, I must say that Thomas Prescher in some creations such as the Triple Axis went to apply a wristwatch concept never seen before.

A bit ‘of fable and mystery does not make it much more interesting? Thomas recounts the eyedropper “fragments of his (new) story” to finally reveal it to Baselworld 2012.
