As Watches & Wonders kicks off its latest edition in Geneva we reveal some of the novelties revealed so far.
Lange & Söhne
Four years since A. Lange & Söhne launched its first sporty-elegant timepiece the ODYSSEUS, the brand returns with the ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH which joins the ODYSSEUS family. Featuring the newly developed L156.1 calibre, the watchmaker’s first self-winding chronograph movement, it combines innovation and dynamic function.

“The ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH transports the contemporary and one-of-a-kind design of the watch family to a new technical dimension. It meets all the requirements of a stopwatch suitable for many fields of application, without relinquishing the hallmarks of Lange precision watchmaking,” says Anthony de Haas, Director of Product Development ahead of the launch at this year’s Watches & Wonders. The ultra-exclusive ODYSSEUS CHRONOGRAPH timepiece comes in a limited edition of just 100 watches.
Panerai
Panerai has unveiled a new in-house movement developed specifically for its legendary Radiomir collection. It is the first annual calendar complication of Panerai and marks a key moment for the House.
