Beautiful collection of ALS
My favourite of the three is your lange one. Very special shade of blue.
Quiet luxury indeed!
The ‘quiet luxury’ of Lange watches
Have been thinking a bit about the ‘quiet luxury’ thing that is (or was) in focus when it comes to fashion. In the watch world, I guess Lange is the equivalent of Lora Piano, Cucinelli and the other Italian brands that come to mind when this term pops up....
Lovely pieces. Quiet luxury is a good term.
To me quiet luxury maximizes the relationship between owner and object, rather than noisy luxury, which muddles that relationship by bringing in the outside world/observers. So quiet luxury=owner and cherished object Noisy luxury=owner, object, outside wo...
Noisy luxury, now that’s a good juxtaposition!
But I totally agree on this. Like the difference between a tourbillon watch with the word tourbillon on the dial above a cut-out and a watch with no wording and the tourbillon only visible through the case back.
Quiet luxury indeed 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
Dress watches generally are a genre that I would wish more of - hopefully someday again 🤞🏻
You have a wonderful trio!
The first one is my favorite among them, but all three have a great appeal. Best, Emmanuel
What a beautiful and classy looking trio of A.Lange & Sohne watches.
The first and third are my favourites as the exude class and the less is more aesthetic. Marc
I like formal done right, I like informal done right.
At the end of the day, the key thing is elegance and being true to oneself. Put a crazy rock star in a Savile Row tuxedo, and it may look slightly out of place with the personality - put the same rock star in a Neapolitan tuxedo, and it might "jive" well....
Yes, but…
…I think part of the quiet when it comes to watches is size on the wrist. Your examples I think all fit nicely, are smaller etc. But a modern Dato, ZW, Triple Split and some others in the Lange collection do not fit the quiet luxury definition as they are...
A delightful trio, Claus - congrats on it. Nice photos too.
The 1815 Thin is refined and pure. The movement is wonderful as you say, with micro-beveled teeth on the gear-train too. I remember being surprised when it was released - it’s in my top 3 Lange’s I don’t own but love. Charming. The Lange 1 with the blue d...
Tremendous trio
I remember well a 2000’s WatchTime magazine article, a head to head comparison between the 1815 and the PP 5196. The Lange took the battle!
I would, in fact, buy a 5196j not long after reading the article
If I can locate the edition I’ll pass on the info

Lange is quiet luxury personified
That 1815 Thin you mentioned rose gold, enamel dial, movement decoration only visible through the caseback it’s the epitome of knowing without needing to show. The best compliments come from people who understand, not from across the room. I’ve always fel...
