Great review of a wonderful watch. I have always had a very
soft spot for Lange and their tour de force technical ability, but I have also had a very soft spot for this subtle, elegant, and understated watch. Excellent review and a watch that I still have on my wish list.
Thanks for the review Nicolas - if the watch is yours, then many congratulations, and wear it in the very best of health.
Cheers!

AN IN DEPTH REVIEW OF THE LANGEMATIK ANNIVERSARY
You may imagine how great and intense is my pleasure to introduce you this important watch, for Lange: The Langematik Anniversary. This is an important watch because with its release, Lange wanted to celebrate an Event, and to give an Hommage to the Tradt...
Bravo mon ami!
A spectacular report! Indeed, each time you do these giant reviews of yours, with perfect photos of which i can never dream of posting, i can see why you are a super moderator! Thanks for sharing the dream with people like me who could never get the watch...
Stephen, believe me, Rules are made to be broken !
And that's the lawyer who is speaking...LOL Seriously, I hear your point, and yes, like you I prefer some complications intheir mechanical versions, rather than on an Automaitic movement, as for the Chronos, for example. But I also think that osme watches...
Excellent Nicolas, thank you. [nt]

Excellent work.
Hi Nicolas, I salute you...being a watch lover,moderator and even a writer of each and every watch you own and able to elaborate it in depth regardless of brand.....what a passionate fellow you are.I salute you! I am totally agree with you on your last pa...
Absolutely Gorgeous watch...if
the crown is bigger, it will be the absolute perfect watch , in my book *CL
Interesting point, CL
Are 37mm too small? It depen ds on the proportions of the watch, my friend. For such a classic and elegant watch like this one, I find this is the perfect size. Look at the PP Calatrava, some are even smaller, and they actually are appealing, dangerously ...
Another great review Nicolas!
I am catching the Lange bug as well. Two great pieces you have there, both of which are iconic in their own way.I just wish you would slow down a little bit so that some of us can keep up with the pace you're setting.LOL I hear you have something else on ...
thanks ....
for sharing . great review for a great watch; this Lange Anniversary is truly gorgeous with that enamel dial je ètre très vraiment content pour vous .LOL pépégui
Great review ....
... of a Lange i handled in the flesh ... indeed it is one homogenic (am i spelling this correct ..??? ) watch .... Your pictures say a lot, but seeing it in the flesh is even better,as with most of your beauties. Now, the point is: I will PM you my home-...
Un reportage exceptionnel
c'est le meilleur reportage que je n'ai jamais vu à propos d'une horloge Lange, mon ami Nicolas. I`m impressed. Thanks very much. With your permission I`ll take the Link to Relojes especiales forum.
Great mon ami!!!
A really pleasure see it in the flesh. Thanks my friend. Really a impressive watch. Congrats for this great review, as always! Best...... from Paris!!! LOLOL Emilio
Congrats for this great review my friend !
This Langematik is superb, the enamel dial gives a classy touch to the watch. Another masterpiece from Lange. Fr.Xavier This message has been edited by foversta on 2008-12-08 14:01:18
Yes the best
dress watch there is for me and I know I'm boring but thank you for this great reviews which bring this special nudge to this forum and to show that I'm reading all of them throughout I think that a lapsus calami (or better lapsus keybordi LOL) is in your...
Beautiful! The big interest of the move is the Gold/platin Rotor who brake the traditional
austerity of the bridge of Lange1.... The perfect "email" dial, who make a good alternative to the too sad Lange1 dial. During the reading of this rewiew, i Listen that: www.youtube.com A good moment of classical pleasure. This is a great rewiew, fot a gr...
Thanks, Malik.
Well, I was used to live with another comparison, about movements...The one of the Dato, which is a Bomb! So I was more sceptic about the caliber of the Anniversary. But I gave some time to appreciate it ,ad now I really enjoy this 3 Quarter Rotor, and th...
Really, it's a great watch. The more interesting with 3hands. But i prefer chrono I love
the Double Split... Thx Nicolas.
Nicolas, beautiful photographs in quality and remarkable points
of view. You had me in a dream state after the first picture. Thanks for the contribution. Best, Tim
Great review Nicolas
Wow more than I expected but we couldn t expect any less......Watchmaking purity...Still I d love to know a bit more about the graphic choice of the LA s dial.They created without any doubt a stunning dial ,a succesful blend of harmony and simplicity.I wo...
Great review, Nicolas!
I enjoyed the photos and the text as it gave a good sense of what this watch is all about. Gorgeous watch and congratulations again, you are obviously a proud owner. Stefano
Thanks for the GREAT review...
and also for reminding me on what is filed in my mind as one of my "top THREE most wanted watches but unable to get for one reason or another" category. A TRUE gem in every sense of the word. Hope Lange comes out with something similar or better soon enou...
Thank you Nicolas: A wonderful article indeed!
I concur, Lange should re-release this piece @ 40 mm with a manual wound movement. Cheers! -- Richard.
Not sure that 40 mm would fit better, Richard.
If you consider the whole volume of this watch, a bigger diameter would enhance the thickness, the bezel, and at the end, maybe it will loose it perfect balance, as it often happens when you amplify an original design. See for example the RO from AP, and ...
Nicolas, I think our friends at Lange
could keep the dimensions in perfect balnace to 40,0 mm. I must admit to liking larger watch diameters, with this IWC 5002 strapped to my wrist today! Best My Friend, -- Richard.
You are a very lucky guy Nicolas....
I bid for this watch twice in auctions but was unsuccessful both times. Perhaps I'll get lucky the third time around, especially in prevailing market conditions. Really marvellous work! Best, Sam
2001 Lange platinum tourbillon: Best watch ever
No criteria; that is just the greatest watch I have ever seen. Thanks for the thoughts and pictures Nicolas... Happy Holidays my friend
another beautiful review, thanks Nic.
thanks Nic, these watches are the one that I like too.
Thanks for the wonderful review of the great Anniversary
As you probably already know, this is my number 1 all time favorite watch. Glad to see it in this great post.
Nicolas, a great pleasure to view this post...
By now you know of my love for enamel dials, especially white with roman numerals! This is one of the pieces that has so far eluded me...I do love it and it is my favourite Lange made so far. A super post, your pictures do it great justice, Cheers, Tim

A throughly detailed and beautifully written review.......
With some of the most detailed photos that I have ever seen. Thank you for such a brilliant article. Tony
Thank you Nicolas for this great post ...
it was fun reading it and the images you shot of the Anniv. are stunning! I agree with your remark about the tang buckle being a better match for this watch but ... I cant live w/o deployants :-D I hope this watch will give you lots of good moments! Best,...
i really like the red @12
just makes the watch look that much better..amazing how a touch of red can add so much character
One more...
In the aftermath of one of the greatest posts IMHO,just one more thing.For all of us who like bigger size watches and commented on the size of the LA,I think that a future and possible LE of the Richard Lange in the same spirit of the Langematik A would b...
It would be marvellous, Mo
And a nightmare for me, as I would have to add it to my collection. LOL Yes, I would like a lot to see a special RL... Understated, the RL? Well, at least not here, as this watch has many fans! And that's justice. Best. Nicolas
Thanks, Davo.
But we have to admit that this is also a killing watch... Best, my friend. Nicolas
This is exactly what happened to me
With this " Anniversary "... A strong and long hunted love. Thanks! Nicolas
Beautiful work! This watch is indeed special.
I remember seeing AL&S watches for the first time in Las Vegas in 2004. I was there for a wedding. When I went to the AD to see the watches, I was mesmerized by the quality of them. One, in particular, was this watch. The saleslady tried to sell me this w...
If only we had a time machine...
Great story, my friend. I know this " bitter " feeling very well, as I think we're not alone in this case. If only we had a time machine! Thanks for sharing, and for the nice words. Best, Nicolas
