Earlier this year, this top-notch German brand unveiled its first self-winding chronograph Odysseus watch. Crafted in stainless steel and limited to just 100 pieces, the 42.5mm watch is devoid of the multiple traditional chronograph subsidiary dials. Instead, the minute and second chronograph hands come from the center of the dial. The subsidiary dial at 6 o'clock indicates the non-chronograph running seconds. The clean, sophisticated design allows for the outsized day and date indication as well. The complicated mechanical movement consists of a massive 516 parts, many visible via a transparent sapphire caseback.

A Lange & Söhne showcases the supreme of German horology. Originally founded in 1845, the watchmaker persevered through Soviet nationalization, its trademark resurfacing in 1990 when it was realized and re-registered by Walter Lange. Early patrons and owners of its timepieces reflect the high regard in which the brand is held, having been worn by men of great prominence including the German Emperor Wilhelm II and Alexander II of Russia.Some of its most famous collections include the Lange 1 and Zeitwerk lines which assure the most intricate of assembly and finishing techniques, as well as carry the brand's distinctive outsize date which is three times the scope as those in watches of comparable dimensions. Recently sprung from the Zeitwerk family is the Minute Repeater piece which, melodically keeping time, is the first mechanical wristwatch to possess a jumping numeral display and decimal minute recurrence. The intricate ticking sounding from this timepiece mirrors the complexity of the watch itself, which is fashioned from 191 individually hand-finished fragments.
