Watch KhalifaThe Swiss may dominate luxury watchmaking, but along the Czech-German border lies a town bearing eerie resemblance to Switzerland’s own horological heartland, both topographically and artisanally. Glashütte is home to revered watchmaker A. Lange & Söhne, also owned by Richemont Group, whose Minute Repeater Perpetual stands apart from its competitors thanks to its sophisticated chiming function: As the brand notes, there is a low-pitched tone for every full hour, a double tone for every quarter hour and a high-pitched tone for every further minute.
