Introducing 1815 RATTRAPANTE by A. Lange & Söhne
A. Lange & Söhne is enriching its 1815 model family with a timepiece featuring one of the most sophisticated horological complications: The chronograph rattrapante. With the 1815 RATTRAPANTE, A. Lange & Söhne’s watchmakers yet again demonstrate their expertise in the field of short-time measurement. Its complex mechanism expands the functionality of a classic chronograph by allowing the measurement of a random number of lap times within a minute. For this purpose, the watch has two superposed chronograph hands, the centre chronograph hand and the centre rattrapante hand. Both hands start together when the pusher at 2 o’clock is actuated. The centre rattrapante hand can now be stopped independently of the centre chronograph hand and then resynchronised with it. This procedure, used for instance to measure lap times, can be repeated infinitely. |

Presenting Rainbow ring by Vhernier
Vhernier’s Rainbow is a limited and numbered capsule of one hundred rings that contains the characteristic features of the brand: bold volumes, rigorous shapes, and the classic combination of magnificent natural stones with unusual materials. In the Rainbow rings the absolute protagonists are three beautiful stones, unrepeatable due to their size, colour and purity: citrine quartz, purple amethyst and blue topaz, all cushion cut, the most fascinating cut ever which highlights the stones’ natural brightness. Each one, enhanced by two profiles of white diamonds, is set on titanium, an extremely light material very much loved by Vhernier, in three matt colours that for the first time are proposed on such wide surfaces: an innovation that confirms the brand’s experimental attitude. |
