It is almost the time to have a view on this year unveilings, at Lange.

For me, the 4 Lange which caught my attention are:

The Datograph Lumen:

I am not mad about the Datograph second generation, which, in my opinion, broke something in terms of balance. BUT, strangely, the Lumen has something the " normal " second generation doesn't have, and which pleases me a lot, with its transparent and luminous dial.

The Datograph Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon. Normally, I would prefer a Datograph, a Perpetual Calendar and a Tourbillon, especially when it comes to such a prestigious chronograph, but here there are two major points: The beautiful salmon dial and the... View the back side offers to you. Just spectacular:

The Lange One 25th Anniversary:

Rather than having 10 pieces for the commemoration of the Lange One 25th anniversary, I think that only one would have been enough. And if I had to pick one, it would be the first one:

But the star of the year, for me, is the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds Black! That one is really eye catching, and its movement is pure magic.

If only it could come in black enamel!!!

What do you think? Do you have others in mind, this year?

Best,

Nicolas

I tottaly agree with your Datograph Lumen and Datograph Perpetual Calendar Tourbillon. I also totally agree with your Richard Lange Jumping Seconds Black but I met and fall for a very special Pt. I also agree with your Lange 1 but I dream every night about beautifully sexy Triple Split Picture by Deployant and Monochrome So If I can get more it would Dato Lumen or Triple Split. Who knows Lange will make a Triple Lumen ( that would be gorgeous kinky)

IMHO the dial is more unique and the movement is more expanse yet deep. No other brand make lumen dreamy like lange
