Are you sure about the PLM?
Certainly not the price in Euro???I think its cheaper in the states then???Maybe she referred to the RG?
The New 1815
Hi, I am considering the purchase of either a Richard Lange (non-PLM) or the new 1815. One factor in the RLs favor is the rate accuracy claimed by Lange and the central seconds hand which I really like. On the other hand, I really like the understated loo...
Taking a stab, but consider the source before relying!
g I'm flying without a license on this one, but doesn't the existence of a regulator mean that it is not free sprung, and isn't that a regulator? (Pic borrowed from SJX) Whatever the case, it is a beautiful watch, and the larger balance wheel should enhan...
Question,
Both the Richard Lange and the New 1815 have a swans neck regulator on the balance. What does a regulator do on a free sprung balance and how does it work? Are there any diagrams available? Thanks again!
It looks like a regulator on the RL, but....
but I think, on the Richard Lange at least, it's actually to do with the beat of the movement, and just happens to look like a swan's-neck regulator. The RL is free-sprung, and uses a system that superficially at least looks very similar to the Patek "gyr...
Moses, here's what Lange indicate on their website:
About the RL balance: "Its balance spring was developed by Lange's master watchmakers and is manufactured in-house. It is attached with a patent-pending clamp that, unlike other constructions, does not deform the spring in the stud but instead merely secu...
The RL should be your choice my friend!
May this one shot hopefully help influence you! Cheers Stephen...
Prices
I called Wempe in NYC last week and was told that the new 1815 is coming in April and that RG,YG and WG will sell for $18,100. She even thought the price will be negotiable. For kicks I asked about the Richard Lange PLM and she said it will have a price t...

That was the price she quoted in U.S. Dollars. I didn't ask what metal she was quoting as I assumed that this watch is only made with platinum.
40mm 1815 in WG is a real stunner
Hi, I am bit late on this thread (!!), but i'd like to report that the accuracy of my 40 mm 1815 (ref. 233.) is BETTER THAN QUARTZ. I have never seen anything like this before. Is it due to the free-sprung large size balance? Honestly i don't know. But i ...
