The new issue of L'Orologio is available at newsstands and in digital version The latter, for PCs, Macs, smartphones and tablets, can be purchased via our app, which can be downloaded free of charge from Google Play and the App Store.
The star of the cover of the summer issue (No. 308, August/September 2022) is Longines' Ultra-Chron, a diver water-resistant to 300 metres animated by a 36,000 vibrations per hour movement, the direct heir to the Ultra-Chron of 1968, the first high-frequency diver.
This month's Comparison features his majesty the Rolex Daytona and his "opponents": 6 automatic chronographs of tradition. While the Buying Guide is dedicated to 16 cult summer watches. Plus, an interview with François-Paul Journe, one of the most ingenious watch creators currently working, the new Lange 1815 Rattrapante, which focuses on essentiality and the brand's most classic codes, the Mido Multifort Powerwind Chronometer, named after a formidable technical innovation by the brand in 1954, and the first chronograph in Frederique Constant's Highlife collection.
This issue's technical in-depth look at one of watchmaking's most fascinating complications: the classic perpetual calendar. Also not to be missed is the link between Seiko and sports timekeeping, as well as the auction quotations of Longines models and the presentation of two important events in which our magazine is involved: the auction-event The One, organised by the Spangaro jewellers of Udine and the Cambi auction house, from 14th to 16th September, of which L'Orologio is media partner, and VO Vintage, a three-day event dedicated to vintage watchmaking to be held in Vicenza between 9th and 11th September, where L'Orologio participates as main partner.
So... Happy summer and happy reading with The Clock!
