This site is something of a gallery: a pictorial tribute to the high quality creations that have advanced the art, science and history of horology; as well as the personalities who created them, and the designers and image makers who portray them so desirably. For the most part, I prefer to let these pieces speak for themselves.

F.P. Journe - Vagabondage III
For those who like a jumping digital display but can't wait a whole minute to enjoy the action: behold, F.P. Journe now give you the digital jumping seconds! I certainly appreciate it when a manufacture is confident enough to leave their logo off the front of their creation, realising that their mechanical marvel is distinctive enough to speak for itself.

A. Lange & Söhne - Walter Lange
Walter Lange
1924 - 2017
I am very saddened to hear about the passing of Walter Lange at the age of 92. I was used to him being a fixture of A. Lange & Söhne - I think I was hoping he would make it past 100. Walter was such an integral link between A. Lange & Söhne's original founding and present re-emergence. I was given his autobiography "The Revival of Time" a few years ago and it is a fascinating read, which I would recommend to anyone interested in all things Lange. I certainly gained a greater insight into his life and greater respect for his achievements, as well as learning more about my favourite watch manufacture.

A. Lange & Söhne - 1815 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst
As if their pieces are not special enough, A. Lange & Söhne like to give some extra treatment to a select few of their models.
