vacheron constantin historique american 1921

One look at the exquisite jewelry Vacheron Constantin Kallania watch and I can't help but notice its similarity with the Graff Superstar watch. However it was the Vacheron Constantin Kallania that ended up being the true star as it bagged the Best Jewelry Watch award at the Vogue Jewels Awards 2009 held in Madrid Spain. The Kallania which made its debut in January this year at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) exhibition is considered to be a successor of the brands diamond studded Kallista watch. The Kallania is an exquisite piece crafted entirely from 18-karat white gold and features 186 bead-set emerald cut diamonds across its bracelet, case, and dial. This glorious watch boasts of a hand-wound Vacheron Constantin 1003 caliber movement which measures just 1.64mm in height making it the world's thinnest mechanical movement. There is also a Geneva Seal stamped on the bridge which is an indication of the movement's high aesthetic standards.

The tasteful vision of Haute Horology imposed by the people behind A.Lange & Sohne has paid off eventually, as this brand is reviewed as one of the best brands that sells in the same general price range as companies such as Audemars Piguet or Vacheron Constantin. Established back in 1845 by A.F. Lange, the A.Lange & Sohne is a brand of watch manufacturing renowned for its admiring obsession with quality and precious materials. A.Lange & Sohne is known worldwide as a brand that uses gold and silver and never steel in its designs and that proposes mechanisms characterized by amazing technical performance. In 2007, A.Lange & Sohne added another revolutionary achievement to the tradition of watch manufacturing when the brand introduced on the market the first wearable mechanical watch with a 31-day power reserve, a technical complication that takes great talent and effort. The new model that attracts our attention goes by the name of A.Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch and it's an imposing timepiece characterized by masculine proportions, but whose design still maintains a refined, almost classy look. With its beautifully curved and seductive lines, the design of this new watch hints to sophistication and passion for value. The case measures 41.9 mm in diameter and it is crafted from yellow gold, a material that has come to be distinctive for this brand of watches. The round case comes covered in sapphire crystal both on its top and on its back and it also comes equipped with a traditionally located 3 o'clock crown for the adjustment of the stettings. The classy appearance of the new A.Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch owes its respect not only to the yellow gold case, but also to the silvery dial completed with yellow gold detailing. The dial is quite *** as it indicates the main functions of hours and minutes through a 9 o'clock sub-dial via yellow gold hands, while the hour markers are made from gold Roman numerals for the 12, 3, 6 and 9 o'clock positions. A large date window is located at 2 o'clock, element which was previously patented by A.Lange & Sohne. The mechanism activating all the functions at the new A.Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch is a Calibre L901.2., manually wound. This movement can guarantee up to 72 hours of power reserve, while assuring the best reliability of its functions. No matter if you're interested in classy design or more contemporary ones; you simply cannot remain unmoved at the sight of such exquisite timepiece that screams excellence and passion for design. The brown leather strap accompanying the new A.Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Watch matches perfectly the yellow gold employed in the manufacturing of the case and it offers a touch of distinction and prestige to its wearer. More than a watch, the new A.Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 can offer you not just a piece of time, but one of history as well. A. Lange & Sohne Grand Lange 1 Pictures Gallery
