summary
What did you think.
At Watches and Wonders Geneva in 2023, only the Odysseus Chronograph was announced, but this year there were only two Datographs, so the number of watches was small. If possible, we would like to see the release of an entry-level dress watch with the beauty that is characteristic of A. Lange & Söhne. This is a brand that announces new models from time to time, so let's look forward to additional models in 2024.
We will continue to report on the new models announced at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2024, so stay tuned.
see you!
