Chromatic Fugue

I recently came across an online article called "the Two-Watch Collection," which imagines what the author (Ben Clymer) would keep if he winnowed his personal collection down to just two watches. He c

The lens does love this watch ...

I promised more photos and observations. Here's the watch, a 3940P: I think it was Nicolas (amanico) who said that I should go with the 3940 rather than the 5140 because, even though it lacked the imm

... that ends well. After my weekend disappointment with the 3940R I posted about here, I just picked up this impeccable 3940P, dated 2006. I'll post more detailed observations later, but the term tha

I’ve been collecting watches since 2006. And I’ve been a photo buff since I was a teenager. Crazy that it took me this long to get one of the Lange chronos, turn it over, screw on the macro lens, and

There aren’t a lot of things that can hold their own in the background of a Lange wristshot, but here’s one.

a watch a first saw in the metal a week ago and bought on barely resisted impulse: the original 1815 chrono in rose gold. It's delightful in every way and, compared to its big brother, almost svelte o

And brings this new delight.

As expected, I am wowed by the Datograph: its heft, its wrist presence, its incomparable movement. I have stopped short of buying it in the past because it's a big watch, and I have an unusually thin

Just picked up this tribute to elegant simplicity. More to come when I can find my macro lens ...
