Thanks for the report...
Nice AD and nice setting. But again made me wonder when we will see the "real" working sample of the Perpetual Tourbillon.... The similar event was held in Tokyo last week, but it was fake movement, too.....
Looking forward to my next trip, FX!

Salon de Greef: Lange & Söhne
Just at the beginning of the month of June, I travelled to Brussels to attend the Salon de Greef in the Sablon district at the Nonciature, an old building renovated to host events. De Greef is a famous belgian AD whose boutique is located a few meters fro...

I have a movie of a working one.
Because at the SIHH as you can imagine it was a working watch. Thanks for your comments, I will upload the movie! Fx
As an idea...
I like the daymatic, as I prefer the Journe-style time on the right to the traditional Lange time on the left, but that must be the busiest-looking movement ever. From the back it's just a riot of blue screws, gold chatons, random holes in the plates and ...
I tend to agree with you...
It is a bit a Xmas tree movement... beautiful but a bit too much. Fx ...
Merci for the report Xavier!
Hallo, Well, looks like a Lange exhibit as i would know and always love. Thanks for the detailed shots of so many goodies! One can never get enough of Lange. I would like to ask if you care to enlighten on your statement about the new 1815 where you said ...
No Stephen...
I only meant that with the neutral materials, only the PT version of the former 1815 used the combo silver dial&blued hands. Because it was also used with the YG version. Thanks for your comments! Fx
I am falling in love with L1 Tourb/PC
and this one would be on the short wish-list if it was easier on the pocketbook. The new Dato is a winner. Would have been a home run IMHO with a different PR indicator. The rotating arrow/disc looks a bit out of place to my eye so far. Wish this PR displ...
Dear tahoeblue...
In my case, I really like the PR indicator inspired by the day&night display of the timezone. But the DS one would have been nice too. The most important is that it doesn't impact the dial harmony. Fx
Lange was in Boston yesterday.
I saw the Dato up/down yesterday in Boston. I like it much better than the previous version as the larger diameter and lack of Roman numerals seem to give the dial a more refined/elegant finish. Funds permitting I'd buy it in a heart beat, and side by sid...
Sure it is a great (and difficult) job.
I understand the point of view of people who prefer the original one, it may have more character (roman figures, diamter/thickness ratio etc...). The new one is a very worthy evolution. Thanks! Fx
I'd like to see a "reduced" version of the RL.
39, maybe 38.5 mm. Would make the perfect dress watch for me. :)
Dear Marcelo...
I understand your point of view but first of all the bezel is rather thick: so the Richard Lange looks slightly smaller than it is actually. Moreover the size allows us to take advange of the big second hand run... I think that a smaller size would be a p...
Makes sense, Fx.
That gorgeous blue seconds hand deserves enough room. ;) I've seen the Lange 1 live once, but not the RL. Maybe I change my mind when I do. Best Marcelo
Thanks FX, excellent as always!
Now how do you expect me to sleep after looking at all these goodies! ;-) Best, -- Richard.
Great report as always Thank you
You really know how to capture the Beaty in these pieces. The fly back is one I continue to love. Thanks
