A. Lange & Söhne

After a one-year quest for my first Lange, I decided to go for the 1815 WG 38,5mm. Today it has finally landed (with the new folding clasp). Just breathtakingly beautiful... The new folding clasp is very comfortable, by the way. Some pics:...  

It looks even better in the flesh

about the clasp thanks for sharing it ! I am a huge fan of the 1815 and love how simple yet elaborated and stunning it is. One of my favourite watches ever.

was introduced at last year\'s SIHH. It costs quite a heavy mark-up, but I much prefer it over the normal clasp. I also tried the old folding clasp, but it was very uncomfortable on my 17cm wrist. The new one is great.

A grail for many for sure. Looks great on your wrist.

Thanks too for posting your experiences with the new folding buckle. I had posted a few pics of that buckle but haven't yet tried it on a watch and was curious how it felt. The double-folding buckle seems best suited for watches like yours -- relatively s... 

My first Lange was also an 1815, and I completely agree with you that it can dress up, or dress down to smart casual. Just outstanding.

Wonderful choice...elegant watch. congrats !

Of course, there are only great choices for a first Lange. Enjoy!

I was looking at before i bought my first 1815. Great style and i agree ... Very versatile. Congrats on your purchase. Wear it in good health!

Many congrats on the watch! Wear it in the best health! The 40mm variation is still very high on my wishlist. Hopefully I can add it soon! Best, H
