Lange & Söhne

If there’s one watch house that never disappoints when it comes to unveiling new models, it’s Germany’s A. Lange & Söhne. The brand’s offerings for 2016 ranged from a white-gold version of the existing Lange 1 to a Grand Lange 1 with a moon-phase display that glows in the dark and a reworked version of the Saxonia Thin, a simple-as-it-gets two-hand watch with an impeccable finish.

Watch of the collection
While all are covetable, our pick has to be the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds, an observation-style piece of exceptional precision. It features a “zero re-set” seconds hand, individual sub-dials for hours and minutes and a 39.9mm platinum case. Just 100 will be made, priced at €78,000 (£68,000).
