A. Lange & Söhne

a watch a first saw in the metal a week ago and bought on barely resisted impulse: the original 1815 chrono in rose gold. It's delightful in every way and, compared to its big brother, almost svelte on the wrist. Have a great weekend, Lange family! - Jon ...  

... I am wearing its WG brother while writing this message! Fx

Let’s get them together for a playdate sometime!

Here is a picture I took at the SIHH in 2018. ...  

And lovely photos of the newer model!

The German silver on the subdials has acquired a slight patina, which is cool, and the dial is more three dimensional (it slopes down from the bezel). The newer version is cleaner, so I can see why many people prefer it. But for me, there’s a real charm t... 

I would think that the subdials are also out of silver. Nevertheless, congrats to a very tasteful watch and a classic Lange!

The color on the subdials is slightly darker and warmer than the plain silver Lange dials I’m used to seeing. It’s possible they’re silver after all and the greater complexity in shade and color is just a trick of the light, created by the sunburst patter... 

You mentioned it’s big brother but I must admit that I prefer your version over the often called big brother. Congrats on a truly astonishing watch

I love the Dato just as much, but it’s too thick for my thin wrist. This works much better for me.

Congratulations!

The 1815 is definitely one of my favourite manual chronos out there, if not my favourite. And I've never seen one in the flesh yet. Enjoy yours in the best health!

It is indeed very nice and I almost fell for it so I can understand your actions 😄 Congratulations ...  

Have a great weekend

I think my favourite of the 1815 Chronograph too. In full agreement regarding its relative thinness. Not to disparage anyone else’s choices but to think of what commands a similar price today, or you could have this. Crazy.

I’ve given up wondering why watches cost what they do. I just know what I like and what seems weirdly undervalued compared to the comparables. And the result is the acquisition you see here.

the black dial is impeccable !! wear in the best of your health. Best, mahesh.,

And I dare say one of the most attractive chronographs around! It's the exact same piece that enticed me to ALS, and it was pure joy when I finally managed to land mine. Do enjoy yours in good health!

The 1815 chrono caught my eye when I first started collecting 13 years ago, but I had never seen this particular model in the metal until last week. At that point the purchase became inevitable. : )

Exotic, extremely charming and a hand-crafted mastery. Enjoy it in good days, Sir!

Thanks for the kind words!

This is my grail watch!

... when I saw it in the metal last weekend. : ) To me it is the non plus ultra of pure chronos.

with a 100mm macro lens. Highly recommended!

Aristocratically handsome.
