BAIGNOIRE ALLONGÉE BY CARTIER
The Baignoire is a watch of many faces. Born in Paris in the late 1950s,
its perfect oval shape underwent a transformation in 1960s Swinging
London, stretching its forms to adorn women’s wrists with a mix of
elegance and extravagance. Renamed Baignoire Allongée, it continues to
prove that nothing succeeds like excess, when in expert hands. Its latest
asset? A pink gold bezel whose sculpted spikes borrow from Cartier’s,
one of the biggest luxury brands, jewellery idiom and the Clous de Paris
hobnail design.
LANGE 1 “25TH ANNIVERSARY” BY A. LANGE
& SÖHNE
A. Lange & Söhne, a sounding name in the luxury brands world, made
its triumphant return in 1994 with the Lange 1 – instantly recognisable
by its large jumping date display and off-centre hours and minutes dial.
Twenty-five years on, the brand celebrates the advent of this now iconic
watch with a special collection. While the Lange 1’s characteristic design
has remained virtually unchanged throughout these years, this edition
in white gold stands out for its argenté-coloured dial printed with blue
numerals, blue numerals for the date display, and an engraved hinged back
that opens to reveal the intricacies of the movement – namely the L121.

century, with retro touches including ‘onion’ crowns and stepped lugs.
