PLM and Lange One first generation for me.
These 2 were icons, at least for me, and in my opinion, they are much better than their iterations.
They were the first one, their size was harmonious, the style was sober, and elegant.
They were milestone, while the others are just iterations.
As for those which are not iterations, the Cabaret and the RL T PLM, I don't like them.
The Cabaret dial is uninspired, lacks of balance, the proportions are not harmonious, I'm perplex.
The RL T PLM, hmmm, technically, a superb watch, aesthetically, it leaves me totally cold.
Still waiting for Lange's 2d breathe.
Best,
Nicolas.
5 Whirlwinds from Lange
I propose you a few pictures and comments about 5 Tourbillon watches from Lange. A nice way to browse Lange history! Amongst these 5 watches, 3 deserve to wear the PLM reference, 3 are totally LE, 1 was produced in SS (single watch), 1 has a five days pow...
Great post, thanks for sharing! One question...........
What dial color did the platinum and SS PLM come with? The Tourbograph is my favorite of all the Lange Tourbillons, it looks great in honey gold! Tony
Wonderful post
Great info, insight, and summary. And fabulous pics. I get chills every time I see that WG/blue dial PLM.
Thanks Tahoeblue !
You can't imagine how happy I was when I was able to shoot this Tourbillon PLM! Fx
A minor
cardiac arrest when I saw this first thing in the morning ............... Yes tats the first thing I do every morning, log into Prosite, I have an addicition of a forum kind Thanks for the great photos as usual !
Superb write-up Xavier!
It is nice to see the lineup in a jiffy once again, and i do agree with you about the need for Lange to produce and show the performances of their magnificant tourbillons in some sort of concour if possible! I am confident that they will win first prize! ...
That would be VERY nice indeed!
Now, if only i can find something that really hits me....... Merci! Stephen
WG Tourbillon PLM is my grail.....
...I wonder when and where I will meet it again... Ken
FX, did the Turbograph ever come with a
non-guilloche dial? I was told it did? Maybe I heard wrong.
Yes, of course, the first 51 Tourbograph have a classic dial.
Only the F.A.Lange ones have the guilloché dial. Here is the proof: Fx...
DS Frequency
I may be mistaken, but I think that the "regular" Double Split oscillates at 3 Hz -- not just the Tourbograph. Best, Gary G
But not what I read!
"The Tourbograph is the only Lange chronograph with the Double-Split to have a 3hz frequency." Sorry for my confusion about the above. My reading of it was "of the ALS Chronos with the double split function, only the Tourbograph (and not the original DS) ...

I agree with you even if...
I find the Richard Lange T PLM much better than the Cabaret Tourbillon! But they are far from the Tourbillon PLM in my heart. Thanks for your message. Fx
what a fantastic portfolio
although to my feeling they really went in at the absolute top with the original PLM. There is something about these original Blümlein pieces (okay, three of them, the Lange 1, the PLM, and the Dato) that has been hard to recapture, for all the brilliance...
This is a great summary of Lange Tourbillons.
And wonderful insights. For some reason, the RL Tourbillon speaks to me the most. And you perfectly summarize it, in the sense that it covers broadly the three elements...accuracy, stability and kinetic. I haven't conceptualized it like that before. But r...
