2 beautiful handwind chronographs
They share a lot of common points: both are handwind watches, both have a 2,5hz caliber, both have a pulsometric scale, both have the same size... but one is swiss while the other one is german. And the differences become obvious, especially in the layout and the finishings of the calibers.

Beautiful!! Check out this one that came today!
Sorry...no intention of stealing your great thread, but this is my 1st Lange! Marc...
now That would be the only one for me!
No tachymeter writing and other dialistic "noise" on an underspaced-overspaced dial - referring only to the 1815. No opinion on the Montblanc.
dialistic ??? A new word creation! I like these enthusiasst's lingo...
Dear Amery, thanks for this new word creation! Dialistic is actually one way the blood preasure goes -- diastolisch in German ! To use it as it as a term here is pretty cool. Also: The Montblanc is a very, very, and once more nice and interesting movement...
The Montblanc is beautiful
the Lange goes without saying... Surprisingly, I prefer the aesthetic of the Miontblanc movement... I like this watch more and more... I thought at first the dial was illegible-looking, but it does not seem to be, really. The gold case works for me, too, ...
Is the Lange chrono movement complicated for the sake of it?
I love the 951 movement, but is it more complex that it needs to be - most other chronos look so simple by comparison.
stuning movement shot
Thanks. That Montblanc is lovely. Some great things coming out of Villeret. Best Andreas
Montblanc for me! But the Grand Chronographe ...
Grand Feu from the 1858 collection! I read in an article about the MBM 16-29 movement, that is used in the Grand Chrono and if the Vintage Pulsograph that you show has been manufactured to the same standards than rather this Vintage Pulsograph as it is mu...
Well...I always like a 12/24 h dial, but the 1815 is my favorite.
Thanks FX. -- Richard. This message has been edited by =RWK= on 2011-02-12 05:32:14
It is also a solid gold enamel dial, Richard ...
And as mentioned in my first post a very, very fine historic inhouse caliber with a hand carved spring coil, also twice assembled. A watch for the really "minted" collector and enthusiast that I one day hope to become ... I mean the really minted part ;-)...
An interesting comparison......
One more difference...the Montblanc is a monopusher..... More romantic ... Both watches are beautiful.... How would you compare the finishing of the two watches? It would be very interesting.... Thanks Cheers
minerva vs lange too
not quite the same, but you got me to go dig up both watches. Best, Horo...
Horo, don't hesitate to post more...
About your PG 1815 and about the Minerva chronograph... Fr.Xavier
