Indeed what you say is true
In many aspects, the rate accuracy of a masterpiece when i wear it throughout the day is of paramount importance to me.
Well, i have my PLMs with me, those are good enough for constant force, i wont be needing the remontoir if that is what you mean!
Take the Chronometre Optimum for example, it may have a constant force escapement, but what is the use if one cant even sync it with a reference time signal?
To each his own as we would all say it here, but i tell you, nothing beats the perfect time.

A "short" analysis on 2 Observation watches for the wrist
Guten tag all, With the launch of the new Limited Edition version of the original Richard Lange for the boutiques, i would just like to share a writing that i gave to a fellow watch passionists about 6 years ago when he had a dilemma making the choice bet...
Well Enjoyed
Thank you for sharing this very well thought letter. Your insight into precise timing and taste in watches is very refreshing! The RL to me epitomizes what it means to be a watch enthusiast, It perfectly captures the understated elegence while maintaining...
I sure would love to do that Colton
Let me arrange for the conditions to be right for that ok. I like what you say about the RL too, indeed, definitely one for those "in the know" ;) I am not sure whether you have an RL yet or not, but i do urge you to have a deeper look into it, the origin...
Ahh the winning trio
I very much look forward to the family photo when you do have a chance to take it. I have not yet made the RL acquisition, work has kept me from pursuing it... hopefully later this year. I am waiting for the opportunity to handle the platinum version as I...
Sure thing Colton
I urge you to definitely look into the Pt RL, it is worth your while! Either way you end up, with the RG, the Pt, or maybe even this special LE in WG, you are NOT wrong! Thank you for enjoying my Twirling Meister so much! Tschuss Stephen
Good to know the CS isn't particularly accurate...
I really like the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. Been wanting the Journe Bleu, the Lange 1815, or the Vacheron Constantin Patrimony for a little while now. How accurate do you find your Lange 1815?
Wait a minute bro
So are you saying that because the CS isnt that accurate, it helps you to make the decision NOT to want the Bleu? Because arent they the same movement? As for my 1815, it used to beat around +1 sec/day when i was in Tokyo but these days in Singapore or In...
You are correct...
The erratic accuracy of your Journe makes me slightly concerned about the Chronometre Bleu. It's not a deal-breaker, but it definitely makes it less desirable. The thing with the Bleu is that I find it quite attractive on my wrist, and these aesthetics do...
Right expectations
I agree too with the fact that reasonably priced movements can be VERY accurate. My RL was for a long time way more accurate than even the mighty KING! Jaw breaking awesome! Tschuss Stephen
Sorry - but it is!
With a second or two per day - and more likely per week - the CS is keeping its own and can easily be adjjusted by position. The Bleu is struggling to keep up with more than half of that, but is relatively new and thus not fully run in - give it another m...
What an enjoyable read !
And I should expect no less from you :) Your thought process, pursuit for perfection, and unwillingness to compromise are wonderful traits to have in your watch decision making. Makes me appreciate my RL even more now. BTW, did not know that the CS has no...
Danke Richard!
Arent you somehow feeling proud that you carry the namesake of like THE most Chronometrically correct watch collection in the world?! I envy you! Tschuss Stephen
We could start some negotiations about that with Lange GmBh!
Yes indeed! Tschuss Stephen
Glad you found it so!
My RL actually beats better than my RL T PLM or my RL PLM at the start, so you should consider getting the upcoming LE, seeing you are not me meaning you would NOT mind it in WG ;) Yes i was fully aware the CS had no hacking seconds, but that was from the...
Very interesting to read your thoughts
and I can understand better now what are your interests in a watch. From what I understand is a major concern for you (accuracy), what would be the constant force watch you may be willing to acquire ? The last FPJ or others ? Or maybe doesn't it bring mor...
Indeed what you say is true
In many aspects, the rate accuracy of a masterpiece when i wear it throughout the day is of paramount importance to me. Well, i have my PLMs with me, those are good enough for constant force, i wont be needing the remontoir if that is what you mean! Take ...
Reading this for the second time...
And now that I have gotten myself a FPJ, I got to say you are spot on that the superior finishing of Lange. But the CS is still a beautiful watch to own. :) Regards, Ian ...
You end up the same as me ay mate
But i say this again, and once again, a masterpiece from the house of A. Lange & Sohne, would NEVER cause you to regret acquiring it. Damn, i need more funds, or rather endless ones like some of our fellow Purists here. More Lange, more happiness, and...
Bravo, Stephen!
Although I can agree upon many of your points, the bombastic style of presentation reminds me of another personality here ... or have you been coached by Bernard? To see, feel, and experience watches concerns all of us - but to go out and promulgate the T...
Nein mein Freund!
This was entirely me, it was the 1st time i wrote such a long comparative, and i have yet to even meet the famous Dr in reality! It will probably be my last too, like i said in the prose that i dont have the time, nor i fear the ability to write one such ...
Accuracy is a matter of effort ... you put in
What an epic post! Thoroughly enjoyed your, nearly meditative post, many thanks for that. Regarding accuracy: with my first very humble chronometer, an Omega Seamaster 300, I did the test and put effort and time into keeping it bang on to the atomic clock...
Deutsche Beobachtungsuhr
Mein Freund, Many thanks for the positive comments, heartwarming indeed to find my works being appreciated, for it was NOT easy! Many good points pointed out by you, true indeed. May our RL's continue to serve us with the perfection that they are known fo...
Agree!!!
I've owned both and miss my RL more. It was/is just so perfect. I wish for one in honey gold. That would be one I would absolutely go after! Best, OpC
By all means!
Do get it again soon! You can't live without it! At least i hate to think of it that way! Tschuss Stephen
