A. Lange & Söhne

I have just celebrated my one-year ownership anniversary with my first Lange, a 308.031 'Langematik'. In accordance with Lange’s numbering conventions, the first three digits (308) indicate the model (Langematik with big-date at 12 o’clock, 37mm case) and...  

Thank you for your review MG. Best wishes Alkiro

... that my 308.021 is back from servicing (for the first time in about 13 years) and waiting for me. I'll pick it up in a week or two. I am excited to see what the dial and movement look like through the newly instaled AR-coated crystals (the original cr... 

I love that configuration too. To me, Langes in yellow gold look great. To be honest, I went with pink gold/black dial because I found the watch for the right price. I would be just as happy with that combo too. Please let me know if the new crystal is a ... 

Below is an old pic. I'll take another one of dial and movement after I get the watch back. I've had Lange replace non-AR-coated crystals with AR-coated crystals on several other watches over the years, and I've always found it to be a very noticeable, po...  

Look forward to the updated pics!

Just got the watch back with the new AR-coated crystals installed. The difference is most definitely apparent in person, when the lighting conditions vary. The crystals are invisible in many lighting conditions. I'm very happy with the result. [On a relat...  

Truly gorgeous CR, I will definitely consider this upgrade when it comes time to put my watch in for service. And I love Lange in Yellow Gold/Champagne dial! I'm currently favouring that configuration for my next Lange. I love the feeling when a watch com... 

I can only assume that Lange is switching to a center rotor because it is more efficient at winding the movement (larger rotor=greater moment of inertia)? I suppose the other 'upside' with the center rotor is that you seem to get a bit more 22k gold and p... 

Thanks. Walter Lange owning one really is the maximum accolade a watch can have, isn’t it? I love those small rotor movements. They have the best of both worlds in my appreciation

I agree on micro rotors - the beauty and thinness of manual movements with the practicality of automatics. I would also love to get a Patek with the caliber 240 or the Geneva seal version of the Chopard L.U.C. Laurent Ferrier is still a bit too pricy for ... 

Especially for the price, it's unbeatable. ...  

I love the movement and the guilloche on the dial.

And a wonderful watch — thanks for sharing!

It goes without saying that your Lange 1 moonphase is simply stunning

Considered an oddity by many, I enjoy my rare 309.031 on its both sides. ...  

It is an interesting design, being symmetrical around the x-axis (with the text) and asymmetrical around the y-axis (with the different hour markers and minutes track at 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock). The overall effect is quite different from the (perhaps more...
