The SIHH 2011, or Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie started last Sunday and all 19 exhibitors are flooding press, social media networks and watch forums with information about their new watches.
Below, you’ll see an overview of what I think are the most interesting watches presented during the SIHH 2011 (till now). For your convenience, I categorized them per brand in alphabetical order.
A. Lange & Soehne
The ‘other’ brand from Glashuette that wants to – and perhaps can -? measure themselves with the top of the bill haute horlogerie brands from Switzerland. Besides a few impressive new Saxonia timepieces and the Lange Zeitwerk Striking Time timepiece, A.Lange & Soehne introduces the RICHARD LANGE TOURBILLON ??Pour le M??rite??. You probably wouldn’t have guessed, but I love regulator dials. This extraordinary regulator dial has a skeletonized lower left sub seconds dial that reveals the one-minute tourbillon with patented stop seconds. This 41.9mm diameter watch will be available as ref.760.025 in? platinum (100 pieces) and ref.760.032 in red gold.
The movement inside is caliber L072.1, 33.6mm in diameter, 26 jewels and has a power reserve of 36 hours.
