Langematik Anniversary: The Masochistic post.
Seeing a Langematik Anniversary is always a pleasure and a pain. The pain to have " lost " it, the pleasure to admire it.
For me, undisputably, it is one of the 5 most desirable watch Lange ever made.
This watch has all: Class, distinction, elegance, sensuality. From the recto side to the verso side, a pure marvel.
With the two others from the Top 5:
If I had to do it again, the Langematik Anniversary would be the one I would re buy... Even over the Datograph, to give some company to my sublime 1815 Moonphase which feels so lonely!
Best,
Nicomaso.

Lange do make great platinum watches
I don't know but for some reason I find Lange platinum watches exceptionally well executed. One would think that rose gold or yellow gold would be the matching metal for all the romantic Langes, but platinum gives them also a cool, ueber-elegant appearanc...
If you add the Platinum Cabaret and the Lange one with its gorgeous black dial...
You have the Fab 5! Plus, Platinum gives a lot of density to watches which are not too big, which provides a nice feeling on the wrist. Yes, definitely a masochistic post! Best, Count. Nicolas
It is your passion for these three and the fab five
That drove me insane every time you posted about them. While it took me several years to get them, we only differed on the Lange One, my choosing the blue dial. Yes, if th blue were in platinum over WG I would have been much happier! You know, a terrible ...
I thought I would post up this combo picture
Nicolas, your photo skills are superior to mine and I know the ZW is not your thing. But my heart really goes crazy over these pieces ...
Now it is my turn to be driven insane... ;)
I know the " miss " feeling... Too well. Thanks, my dear Joe. All the best, Nicolas
See these three makes me ache!
I certainly agree with you choice of the fab five. I would take them over the newer complications anytime. I have a feeling you will re-possess the Langematik Anniv. one of these days ....... and then the Dato. :) What a fab trio to see altogether! This i...
To me this is the epitome of Lange fine watchmaking.
So, maybe one day, unless I choose another enameled one, you know, the a bit bigger one.... ;) Best, my dear friend. Nicomaso.
...and not only Masochistic...
but bit Sadistic as well :) Yes yes and yes Anniv is THE Lange Glad you finally decided to bring back this one As they say hearth always knows best Sincerely D
Not mine, sadly, but Patrice's one. The Anniversary is certainly the Lange piece
I miss the most! Best, my friend. Nicolas
Why would you hurt yourself
And the rest of us? Beautiful trio, this is when mechanical mastery meets Teutonic art. Cheers, Alex
Sometimes, other brands do, too...
Look at a Patek WT, for example, or a JLC MUT, or a JLC Duometre, or some Vacherons from the begining of 2000s ( without havong to mention the vintage ); or some Breguet from the same era, or... Best, Nicolas
It is the association of the two which is pure genius. ;)
The Emil Lange is more refined, the Anniversary is more sensual. The cocktail is explosive. ;) Best, Chris. Nicolas
Nicolas, there is a way to cure your pain.
Find one and buy it back. It is more expensive now but you need to do it. Otherwise, the pain will be perpetual. Dont forget, you are immortal. Regards Ling
I am trying to take a tough decision, here.
Duometre à QL Enamel or Langematik Anniversary or Duometre à Chronographe, or Duometre UTT.... You see, a tough decision.... Best, Ling!
Great watch, my all time favorite.
Absolutely agree with you, Nicolas my friend. I loved this watch so much that I acquired two, one as a daily wearer and the other as a backup. :) [URL=] [/URL] A happy duo. [URL=] [/URL] A harmonious trio, with another member from the top 5. :) [URL=] [/U...
Nice watch!
Always loved the enamel dial of this watch. I wouldn't mind owning a nice simple time-only, sans date, petite second hand watch.
Best 5???
So those three beauties and.....black cabaret?L1 darth? But what about this.... Great picture of the anniversary...belonging to a Lange period that does not exist anymore...... Mo ...
Best 6th, in my book. ;)
I have to agree with you, sadly, on the bygone era... Best, Mo. Nicolas
The watch is certainly good, but I am not a big fan of digital hours and minutes.
A digital hour, ok, digital minutes, ok, but both is too much for me. It makes me think about these damn transistor alarm clocks + radios from the end of the 70ies. Best, Nicolas
I see what you mean....
to me it has some interest......still I think probably the last watch from ALaS that excited me... Mo
For you Nicolas...
Let the memories make you happy! :-) Not my photo, but used with permission. Best! -- Richard. ...
Sure it is a stunning watch and more important...
a true LE, at that time, it was the only Lange with an enamel dial. Thanks for the pics. Fx
