A. Lange & Söhne

Hello, I am a long-time Lange collector and lurker here: I really enjoy the forum, hearing about each of you, the magnificent photography and - of course - seeing your magnificent Lange pieces! Here is a photo of my current Lange family. I go for pink gol...  

4 fantastic watches from Lange. For me it would be difficult to choose between the chrono and the RL. Keep enjoying all of them. Br, Dirk

Thank you for your welcome and compliment, Dirk. Yes, similar sizes and wrist presence - very different prices though! In my experience, the 1815 Chrono is somewhat more "technical" and familiar in dial feel - whereas the RL is solely about telling the ti... 

Thank you for your warm welcome and compliment, hora12reborn.

Thank you for your welcome, CR.

Just gorgeous! The very first Lange I became enamored with was the Richard Lange you have. Any thoughts on acquiring something from the Saxonia family?

Thank you for your welcome and compliment, mblum3. Yes, I had an early introduction to the RL as I was at the Manufactory when it was launched in 2006 - I saw a tray of them, mint fresh. I must say it has grown on me over time after my very first impressi... 

Beautiful collection, and I must say you have a great eye for the 1815 family. I'm especially partial to the 1815 Chronograph, what a watch!

Thank you for your warm welcome and compliment, Rhyzen. Indeed. I like the PG / argente dial / blue hand one too - but the black dial version reminds me that the first edition of every Lange chronograph featured a black dial, so it's very traditional in t... 

And what's not to like? Cheers, John

Thank you for your welcome, John. Indeed! Cheers. I like the balance of my collection at this point: two with blued hands - two with gold hands, two with 2 sub-dials, two larger - two smaller case sizes. It also means that, even when one is being serviced... 

I also own a WG 1815 three hander and it's such a fantastic watch for basically any occasion that doesn't require WR.

Thank you, watchestolove. Yes, it is. The 1815 was my first Lange and I wore it constantly. I, of course, wanted to like the 1815 Annual Calendar but it looks a bit "busy" to me with the three sub-dials. Plus, I can't read the date (a give-away on my age ... 

Thanks for sharing it with us, and I look forward to seeing more of these watches. The Up/Down was my first Lange love, followed quickly by the Zeitwerk. I still very much gravitate towards those two watches when I walk into a Boutique.

Thank you for the compliment, Jay (Eire). That's a diverse duo! The Up/Down has gorgeous lateral symmetry to it and unimpeded the "6" in a way that gives the bottom half of the dial more air. The Zeitwerk was a slow-baker for me - the two I like the most ... 

Thank you for the welcome, armanico. I admire your collection too. Yes: a quartet is a nice number for me and means that I always retain three with one in for service over a 4-year cycle. I do like odd numbers though - 3 or 5 - and if I upped my collectio... 

Yeah...I'm not a rectangular watch person. But, I could probably get over that if we were talking the Cabaret HWK! ;-) On the really early ones, I've always admired how Lange chose to make a new rectangular-shaped movement for the case.

Congratulations on your post and thank you for sharing these four Lange with us, they are stunning. Especially in rose gold which is also my favorite metal, just oozing class. Especially love the RL and chrono

Thank you for your welcome and compliments, Derrick. Yes, after discovering rose gold it became the approachable and classy gold for me. The RL has been the sleeper in my collection - it slowly grew on me from afar over many years and, after acquiring one... 

That wheel train on RL with its separate bridge is beautiful indeed. Good to see that you are thoroughly enjoying your watches, thanks again sharing them and your knowledge with us too.
