Part 13 : conclusion
This year was a bit special due to the context but despite this atmosphere, Lange presented several beautiful watches:
- the technical features of the Richard Lange are very convincing
- the new caliber of the 1815 is also impressive with its big size
- the aesthetical changes of the Datograph Perpetual and of the Lange 1 Timezone bring something very attractive to these watches.
But we also feel that Lange is at a turning point. I think that Lange will keep on going on the road of success if they are able for the next years to add some new fresh ideas in term of design, without losing their style of course. The new 1815 is a perfect watch for a person who wants to enter the Lange world but less for old clients who already know this design. The calibers are always perfect, the finishings are impressive... but maybe we need now something a bit more surprising like the 1815 Emil Lange was for example.
Again, thanks a lot to the whole Lange team for the time they spent with me (Thanks Julie and Gaetan !), thanks to Tino, to Anthony for the presentation and their comments :
And thanks to Fabian for his availability and for the dinner !

Part 1 : the Lange booth
For whom who know the previous Lange booth, there were big changes this year. A very large part of it was dedicated to an exhibition about the art of precision watchmaking. All the calibers from Lange were displayed on a wall. We also were able to see por...
Part 2 : the Richard Lange PLM
We already presented both versions of the Richard Lange PLM after the presentation in Paris by Fabian and Arnd. It's for me the ultimate 3 hands watch of the market. The fusée & chain system brings something magic to the winding feeling and adds an impres...

This one is a HIT ! What a beautiful dial ! Funny thing is that I really find it more readable than the Platinum version. With the PT version: Fr.Xavier...

Thanks a lot FX
You've done here a great report as usual! The RL PLM is definitely a big big hit but saddly it'll only one of my dreamwatch. However the new 1815 might be a good alternative .... i'll have to try that asap
Terrific report and pictures. Thx Xavier.
I am already in love with the Lange 1 Time Zone in PG. Sam
Thank you Xavier
Thank you for the great report and all the nice pictures!! Looking at all the new watches, it makes it hard to decide which one to get next...though the Lange 1 Timezone is looking good Hope you have a good rest after all the hard work!! Thanks again.
Great report Francois...
with very nice pictures and it was a pleasure meeting you Tuesday ! Regards, Stefan
It was a great and good moment, shared with all our friends at Lange
FX said and presented all. Julie and Gaetan are to be thanked for their very warm welcome, and for their disponibility. With Jerome, we spent quite 3 hours at the Lange stand, chatting with Julie and Gaetan who presented us not only the new pieces, but al...
You seem to really like...
the pictures with Julie on the background. As I told to Anthony de Haas, yes I took a lot of pictures : 500 pictures of Julie, 3 of the watches : that's the french sense of humor ! Do you realize that Jerome's shirt is perfect with the Datograph bracelet ...
Lange really does it !!
Again Lange comes with new releases that really make a long lasting impression. Congrats to all people from Lange with this achievement. And thanx a lot Fracois Xavier for sharing this with us and taking the effort of posting all those beautiful photos
Thanks for the report Fr.Xavier!!
Wow you put this up pretty fast! Great job! Thanks, Anthony
Is this all FX? ...
:-D WOW fantastic pictures of fantastic watches but ... if I am not mistaken I do miss 499 pictures of Julie so please ... The new Lange-1 in WG, Lange-1 TZ in RG, the new 1815, the WG Dato- Perpetual and the RL PLM ... gosh, does it ever end? I hope not!...
No Edwin...
It was very dark in the restaurant. But maybe SJX has some pics of the dinner because he has its camera with him.. Fr.Xavier
OK I understand, life is hard for a WIS ...
IF there is light, it is bad light to shoot watch pictures with, and if these horrid light-sources are absent, guess what, then it is to dark to shoot pictures ... Say, FX, you seem to be granted a lot of time shooting pictures at the Lange booth ... did ...
I had an appointment.
Of course, I got appointment before in order to have time to shoot the watches, to be able to see them (some are really difficult to catch...) and so on... Julie and Gaetan spent a lot of time with me and with Jerome and Nicilas the day after. Thanks a lo...
Excellent report, Xavier!
It was very nice meeting you at the event. I thought about posting some photos but after having seen your report, there is really nothing I could add. Thanks for an excellent report. Peter Nievaart
