A. Lange & Söhne

 

I'm not certain. David_S posted one here a few weeks ago (pink gold case/gray dial) and south in the comment below mentioned he has had his for 6 months. I've seen only a few on IG while I was waiting for mine, so perhaps some have trickled out over the last year or so, and production is now on the rise?

Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar is here!

I am happy to report the arrival of my long-awaited Lange 1 PC. I expressed my interest in buying this watch 5 minutes after W&W 2021 opened (no joke), and it is finally here! This watch is the perfect perpetual calendar, and I feel privileged to own it. ...

I hope you get to see one soon as well, mdg. It is truly a beautiful watch.

No apologies needed as anyone will be excited with such a beauty…

Big congratulations on a wonderful dream Perpetual Calendar. So you own a Zeitwerk date and got allocation for this?
By: watchoji : August 1st, 2022-01:38
Thank you, and yes, I was fortunate enough to get an allocation for this watch. I asked for it seconds after it was released.

Congratulations …

I enjoyed reading your review. My understanding is that Langes tend to be a bit thicker because of the thickness of their plates and bridges. But, that also makes them sturdier than their Swiss counterparts. No complaints from my side! 🙂 About the "instan...

The indications do not change precisely at midnight. Because the time is displayed in an analog manner, I don't think there is a way to get the watch to change exactly at midnight when the seconds cross 0, as it depends on how you align the hands to the m...  

Awesome blossom!

very informative, and your passion for the piece really comes through.

The cleanest dial lay-out possibly..

 
By: chintu : August 1st, 2022-01:42
The historic flagship model Lange1 had the cleanest dial. Add to this the calendar indicators without diluting the harmony of the timeless design; you have the Lange 1 Perpetual. The emphasis on the large date continues; the day indicator beautifully plac...

I couldn't have said it better, chintu. Thank you for your reply! For exactly the reasons you stated, I feel this is a superlative watch. One unfamiliar with Lange and the Lange 1 family would have no idea of the innovation and complexity housed within.

Thanks CR! I've been lurking here for years, but I finally decided to start posting. I've used your amazing spreadsheet for years as well, so many thanks for publishing and continuously updating that!

Excellent review!

Lange always delivers when it comes to mixing functionality, innovation and beauty.

Can easily see that you are over the moon with this one!

The salmon dial goes really went with the white gold, as with the beautiful dial layout. Heartiest congratulations!

I really am! Like a kid in a candy store... 😂

Yes! Yesterday (August 1) was my first month change. I had the watch right up to my face, and I could actually feel it when the change happened. The "click" was also quite audible. I was actually startled a bit, (in a good way). 😂

Fantastic acquisition

Your joy and enthusiasm resonate more than the watch … enjoy!

Beautiful Piece

Thanks for sharing, fantastic piece. I am waiting on the gray dial version I ordered last year.

Congratulations!

The wait will be well worth it, and you are going to love the watch. Please post pictures here once it arrives!

Spectacular!

Congrats! The salmon dial is quite lovely I have an opportunity to acquire a 345.033 from the boutique but there are a few others I really want as well How did I ever fall in love with a watch I never even knew I wanted before ?
