" Trauring, aber wahr ! ( Wedding ring, but true. A play with words in German ) "
To marry means in German " to dare"="trauen".
So wedding ring=Trauring ---> which sounds like "traurig"="sad".
It sounds than very close to " Sad but true ".

2 wrist shots, just because...
Just because I love it. Just because it is its ... 2d Anniversary, today. One of the most exciting Lange watch, in my opinion. The enamel dial has an unbelievable charm, which can't be depicted with a picture. It has to be seen in the flesh to fully appre...
A very nice piece mon ami!
I appreciate it very much, too bad for the existence of a rotor and the size! The SIZE! lOL, but enjoy it in perpetuality mon ami! A beintot, Stephen
That is what you think.
The Three Quarter rotor is as important for a Lange watch than a manual wind movement. It is another signature from the German House. Would you say that the PP Cal 240 is a pity just because it is automatic? Best, Nicolas
Yes, imho i do think it is.
Apologies for being too honest, but all automatic movements are not even watches to me. You know me! But to each his own, and no one is less than others, from an objective point of view of course! Tschuss Stephen
No problems, Stephen. Without disagreement, there would not be discussions.
It is interesting to know that, for you, Automatic movements are not even watches. Best, Nicolas
My favorite Lang
Nicolas definitly my favorite Lang and if I was to get one, this would be the one. Best regards, George
Wait, wait, I have some serious contenders. :)
Which I will reveal soon. Best, George. Nicolas
Patient
I am a very patient person and will wait for your Lang revelations. Best regards, George
I know EXACTLY what you mean ...
... as I happen to have also one piece of Lange that has been casted from all the other Langes in the past and the result is: Honey Gold ! I did not come across your's, but I can imagine that pictures can not convey the craftmanship, the timeless elegance...
Pictures can't do it justice.
The feeling of a platinum case, the depth of a dial, all this has to be seen and felt in the flesh. As your 1815 Moonphase. Best, Nicolas
Has Lange made a watch - more beautiful than this?
I am unable to say - but maybe not. So much rests upon the counterpoint of the enamal with the red XII. I at least try to think democratically that all hours should receive the same fair treatment, except for those midnight changes on watches with more th...
I wonder, Amerix...
I will maybe introduce another nice contender, to compete with this Beauty. Yes we all have our criterias, at the moment of the final decision, and yes, it is indeed very subjective. But does love has to be explained? Best, Nicolas
the problem with love is
.... that it doesn't come with an instruction manual, a warranty, and a service agreement. amerix This message has been edited by amerix on 2010-11-06 11:29:16 This message has been edited by amerix on 2010-11-06 11:30:12
" Trauring, aber wahr ! ( Wedding ring, but true. A play with words in German ) "
To marry means in German " to dare"="trauen". So wedding ring=Trauring Regards Moritz
2nd anniversary for the anniversary...
This watch was until the Richard Lange Pour le Mérite has been released the sole Lange watch with an enamel dial. A gorgeous watch, I understand why you're so happy to own it. Thanks for the wristshots. Fr.Xavier
You're absolutely correct.
The Langematik Anniversary is not alone, anymore. Both the RL PLM and the Anniversary have their own interest, more technical, for sure, on the RL PLM, more historical on the Anniversary. And both get this captivating enamel dial. Best, Nicolas...
Nic you're spreading poison everywhere!
The RL in PT has been always the perfect Lange for me! Would Lange consider introducing a enamel version on a PT case in the future? Mech.
Nobody else than Lange can tell you, Mech.
But I agree with you on the magic of an enamel dial, my friend. Let's keep fingers crossed! Best, Nicolas
It looks fantastic, Nicolas.
Like you, I believe this one from Lange is a real stand out. (And I have never even seen it in the metal!) Best, CaliforniaJed
One of the best, in my book, Jed.
To be seen in the flesh. Will try to bring it with me, at what you know... Best, Nicolas
Shouldn't that one have blue hands?
Or was you just to lazy when you not capture them for us? LOLOLOL Great pics of a great watch my friend.
Huuummm, yes, I may certainly not have your talent, my friend.
Still learning how to take some decent pics. Best, Nicolas
I say like John Holmes.........
It is not the talent, it's the equipment that makes it.
Looking Good Nicolas!
There's nothing like a Lange! ...And since you had a little mishap with Monsieur Lambert's Aston Martin, you might as well enjoy a little something different ;-) Best! -- Richard....
Well, all is ok with Mr Lambert...
The Insurance covered the small problem. But a nice Lange, from time to time, is good to wear! All the Best. Nicolas
It's a great piece to possess and caress
I would have preferred the red 12 to be in some more sombre colour, but everything else....yes EVERYTHING else is fantastic. You are a lucky man, my friend
I wondered, too, Hororgasm...
Till I was able to compare it with another greatissime piece, the VC Chronometre Royal in platinum: Definitely, I prefer it with the Red 12... If you prefer a darker 12, the RL PLM is for you! Best, Nicolas....
Wow, mon ami!
This is the very 1st time that I am able to see this very beautiful VC Chronometre Royal in platinum in real life shot! If i am not mistaken, is this piece a special edtion for the Geneve and Shanghai boutique? And also, is it a remontage automatique? Tha...
Yes, and yes, Stephen.
So, the VC is definitely not a watch which exists... As it is automatic. Best, Nicolas
Ah! Yes, one of my favorite Lange, too....
I agree with you on this one.... Ken This message has been edited by KIH on 2010-11-06 16:15:13...
Beautiful.
Funny, was thinking about the Anniversary (and in fact the VC CS) today and was just going to dig out some old post pics and I chance upon these fresh ones! I like the smaller size and the fact that it's auto - just for a change. The 'buttery' enamel dial...
I wrote something about the Anniversary, and about the VC, too.
It took me a long time to get this Anniversary, and now, I'm wondering if I will not go on the VC Chronometre Royal. Yes, I saw, I had to take the pic to notice that my shirt was at the end of its life. Best, Nicolas
Boho chic?
Boho chic I believe it's called. Who cares anyway, it's the watch that counts! And that's one heck of a watch! Thanks for posting.
Such a teaser!
I was at an auction once, way before I knew anything much about watches and this anniversary piece was on the block.I did notice it because it had a certain attraction which was difficult to explain but I thought it a bit small at the time because I just ...
You won't believe it, Fernando, but ...
I could get one in 2002 / 2003, but I passed on it for the same reason than you. I thought bit was a bit too small, one or two millimeters more, and I would have bought one which was in the window display of a parisian AD. But 2000 was the beginning of th...
I give up!
Trying to get information from you is like extracting blood from a stone! My bet is still on the MP (although I have no inside information) Enjoy your Sunday. Fernando
This is the true classic of Lange yesteryear....
Love it and comparable to Patek 2526 Both equally important if one love enamel dial watch. Personally, I think this Anniversary makes more sense than the RL PLM. *CL
Well, the Anniversary has a big point versus the RL PLM.
It is the first one. Horologically speaking, the RL PLM is without possibe discussion above the Anniversary, but if we speak about sentiments, I would say that the Anniversary is the one for me. Would be curious to hear your thoughts, CL. Best, Nicolas
