Yes, watch fairs are back in person, and it’s incredible. And from what you can see on our Instagram, it’s been a whirlwind. Watches and Wonders? More like Watches and Reunions, am I right? But IRL isn’t the default for everyone, and some of us are still learning about the latest and greatest from late-night digital presentations, 2021 style.
What is Watches and Wonders 2022, the remote edition, like? Well, there’s less champagne and bonhomie, to be fair, but there are advantages to a bird’s-eye view. You’re less stuck in the minutiae and can perhaps take in the big picture. So, which are the watches that are so great, we can’t help but be drawn to them even from half a world away? Let’s find out. Spoiler alert: this year it seems that complication is Queen.
First cab off the rank, A. Lange & Söhne — the quiet masters of the watch fair flex. This year they’ve done it again with a veritable Superman of a watch, the Richard Lange Minute Repeater. From the front, this slender 39mm platinum watch is pure Clark Kent, with the traditional aesthetic we expect from the RL line. Turn it over, though, and the superpowers this watch possesses become instantly apparent. The manually wound L122.1 looks incredible, with hand-tuned gongs. Not being able to hear this one in person is one of my few W&W 2022 regrets.
