Despite the difficulty in designing and executing a new chronograph, self-taught Japanese horological virtuoso Hajime Asaoka has created one of my favorite watches of Baselworld 2017: a self-made timer with visible mechanics.
I’ll never forget that instant when I first saw this pink gold Pasha de Cartier 42 in a window: time seemed to have stopped around me, sounds faded, and all I could see was this stunning wristwatch. It was love at first touch after I went inside and tried it on!

A. Lange & Söhne always creates a new movement for a new watch, the Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Mérite is no exception. The Tourbograph Perpetual Pour le Mérite features not only the fusée and chain, tourbillon, and split-seconds chronograph, but also adds the complex perpetual calendar and moon phase to the equation.
