Horological Meandering

Sometime in 2024, a good friend of mind asked me if I had heard of a watch brand named Lorige. Lawho? No, I had not. This brand, which was founded in 2018, was apparently making watches with an extremely unique tie to the automotive industry. Specifically...  

Sincere congratulations Michael! Filip

The orange really strikes me on this watch. Many years ago, I flirted with Chopard's titanium Engine 1, and the version I liked had orange numerals in a titanium case. Here is a photo of the 2 other primary Aston Martin BL-E editions (also 50 pieces each)...  

Really great, when brands continue employing what was the epitome of luxury customer handling to this day. And very intriguing watch - looking forward to seeing more of yours and hearing about your experience 😊👍🏻🤞🏻

This brand has a much smaller production than others. 30+ pieces produced in 2025, and moving to around 100 pieces for all of 2026. You can tell they are interested in relationship building and doing their best for customers. That was the really cool part... 

I would be paying for the class this time, but it really is a worthwhile experience. And I would love to have the Lorige on for the experience!

These things are always a lot of fun 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like the tonneau shape and of course the very unique material. What a nice touch that they had the idea of making your personal watch with the brake pads of a winning Cadillac! Wear this very unique timepiece in the best of health. Best, Emmanuel

In fact, I have had it about as long as anything else, around 20 years. I'll have to untie these two for some photos. Always been drawn to the shape.

The Lorige is a radical departure from anything else I own or have owned. It has my heart pumping for sure!

It has yet to come off the wrist and won't for at least 4 more days. Then I need to wind and reload the 7 day movement for the next week.
