Complications
Nicolas (amanico) initiates a compelling discussion comparing two of A. Lange & Söhne's most technically ambitious chronographs: the Double Split and the Triple Split. His post, featuring striking images of both, sets the stage for collectors to weigh in on the merits and allure of these highly complicated rattrapante movements. This comparison remains highly relevant for enthusiasts considering these pinnacle examples of German watchmaking.
It was heavy, rain imposing but mesmerizing. I would say, currently still great value for money. Never seen the triple in the flesh... But I could live with the double 😉 Cheers, Dirk
I'd Go with the triple split. It's got the same diameter and is only .3 mm thicker than the double split, which is very little for a watch that's already above 15mm. The White gold case should make it less heavy than a Platinum one, which helps wearability for such a large watch. Also, I'm Not a big fan of roman numerals, which is the reason why I prefer the dial of the triple to the (Platinum) Double. Judgment can of course be very different on the wrist.
Settling for a Double Split is not a bad thing in any case 😜
Triple split’s existence. I’ve long considered the double split my grail watch, but knowing that the triple split exists has dampened that feeling. From a value for money perspective, a DS can be had for less than half the money for a TS (if you can find one) but is it half the watch? I don’t think so.
please make a name for this (was it PP that name Rattrapante for double/catchup?)
That Triple Split is impressive.
