Thank you for your report and honest view....

... as one of those who could not attned, the reports from the those with direct experiences help a lot (to make my itchy, I mean) and I do appreciate it. I haven't seen any of them in flesh and I cannot make any meaningful comment. From the look of it, most of the novelties from lange are 40mm, which is honestly a bit disappointing for 6.45" wrist. I have a few large watches, but they are in SS and for off-time near-beater watches. I know people say that it does't wear big, but believe me, it does. You can't bend the laws of physiques and my personal preference acquired through various experiences. I just do not want the watches to wear me, I am the one who wears it

Anyway, aside from the size, I am very much looking forward to the world novelty tour arrive at Tokyo boutique in March.

Thanks again.

Ken

ALS - A personal view about the novelties 2011 …

By: small-luxury-world : January 25th, 2011-12:59

Six novelties have been shown, nothing more and nothing less. Watch companies need in general about two years for creating something new. After the big crisis in 2008, we couldn´t probably expect a firework of novelties like we saw the years before and th...

Thanks a lot Oliver for your great report.

I think you wrote the right sentence: "each novelty makes sense". I think it is absolutely right. Thanks a lot for this comprehensive report. Fr.Xavier

Oliver, thanks for sharing the thoughts and live pictures.

I'd enjoy hearing any more thoughts you can share about the central rotor movements. I enjoy the micro-rotors so much that I wonder if I can warm up to the idea of this one? Best, CaliforniaJed

Oliver as usual..

great informative post,with comparisons with the past and ref material. A great read . A lower tone year from Lange ,but as you said,quite understandable. My only negative note:everybody(me included)expected a little more frome the ZW....apart from that o...

Very interesting presentation, Oliver.

By: amanico : January 26th, 2011-00:08

Of course you're right in your approach of the new collection. Horologically speaking, there are some interesting things ( RL T PLM ), and some exciting promises ( Zeitwerk Striking ). A hit? The Saxonia U.T. In my opinion. Thanks for having taken the tim...

Thanks for this first hand report Oliver..

By: fernando : January 26th, 2011-05:11

I enjoyed reading it and value your opinion and thoughts. Mostly, I agree with what everyone has commented on and in the long run it's better for ALS to pace themselves rather than produce something radical similar to last year's Zeitwerk for instance.We ...

I agree with the ultra thin, but not at 40mm..38,5mm yes.. :) [nt]

Good job Oliver

By: jeffrey2 : January 27th, 2011-04:57

post. I agree that this was not a "knock your socks off" year for Lange, but we should remember all of the new releases we've seen from them over the last two years. Have any of the elite watchmakers released such a line of new watches over the same time ...

Oliver, thank you for such an excellent................

By: Topcat30093 : January 29th, 2011-04:29

Personal report. I am pleased with what has been released, as I can now sit back and relax, instead of thinking how i'm going to be able to afford x,y or z.

Beautiful coverage!

And lucky you Oliver to always get to see these wondrous pieces up close and personal. Danke! Stephen
