A milestone in terms of elegance and class, indeed. Less is more is very à propos, here.
Good Morning Honey
Let’s see those honey gold Lange if you have them. I know there are several here. ...
This metal is the perfect middle ground.
If rose is too much but you still want something warm the honey strikes the right balance.
Yes, but different.
We recently compared that one and mine at a little GTG. I think the more recent honey gold cases have definitely been whiter or lighter in appearance.
I think for a true comparison one needs to see both beside a rose / red gold.
But yes, I do think the paler colour would be my preference too.
Very much so, at least for the early HG pieces....
See my post from 2016 here that explains the photos below. ...
This may have changed with the more recent honey gold pieces like yours, though -- I'm VERY curious about this...
I would love to take any of the "Gen >1" honey gold pieces -- those made after all the "165th F.A. Lange Anniversary" pieces c.2010 -- and compare it side-by-side with a brand new honey gold piece. There were rumors that Lange changed the alloy compositio...
When I see the pictures / wrist shots it seems to be they mine and the most recent cases look similar.
I guess a trip to the new boutique to compare with the HG ZW might be in order. I’m not inclined to visit boutiques much, so don’t hold your breath !
It’s a sleeper in my opinion.
I was switched onto it only after seeing some really great live pictures by another member here. The combination of the case metal and the dial make for a really warm Lange; which goes against the typical coldness that most Lange exude.
More honeygold - the 1815 Thin
No seconds subdial and an enamel dial. And on the other side, the ratchet wheel is visible due to the thinness of the movement. I just love this very subtle color that in some conditions even comes close to white metal. Claus ...
Yesterday Lange released another honey gold model.
This is the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater, honey gold with grey dia l, limited to 30 pieces. That link is fun -- you can try out the minute repeater virtually. ...
That link confirms it
If I had a minute repeater, I would keep pressing the button as soon as the chimes were over just so that I can hear it again. Then once the next minute arrives, it becomes even more as I get to hear an extra chime!
