A. Lange & Söhne

It’s been a while. Hope all my Purist Friends are happy, healthy and getting ready for a wonderful holiday season! I am considering one of these, and am torn. I have owned a few 1815 in the past, but never a VC. The previous 1815’s were sold while I was c...  

Very hard to decide! The VC is a bit "sportier", more masculine, where the Lange is pure poetry, very calm and gentle. The play with light and shadow on the VC is also superior to the Lange. Sorry, but if not both ... I can't decide! 😃

My best advice is to choose the one that best fits your personality, lifestyle and overall sense of style.

One of my all time favorites

The 36mm 1815 YG came with blue hands.

Actually I never know why vc does not use free sprung balance.

for something monochromatic... Dress watch but with a character....then VC American ! something a tad warm still clean... Best, mahesh., ...  

👍🏻

Don’t don’t think that photos are important but the way these two watches once worn make YOU feel is what matters. Whist the VC exudes class and taste, the 1815 would make me feel better in the long run. Honey gold preferred however.
