Sometime in August last year, I made a trip to Europe and discovered that Lange & Sohne was planning to launch another handwerkskunst model - this time using the 1815 split seconds chronograph perpetual calendar - a complication introduced in 2013, of...
samwan, First, congratulations on a pretty 'little' watch. You asked if it could be your exit watch. It is possible as I've ben counting your 'sell an organ' watches over the years and you seem to have run out of kidneys! Regards, MTF
I will find a suitable occasion to wear it. Right now, it is tugged safely in bed with other members of the Lange family waiting for a formal shooting session
You are one collector who will never have an exit watch!! You are the King of special watches and congratulations on this Lange. Just owning it and looking it will give you immense pleasure I am sure. Wearing it will give others the pleasure
Watches of this caliber are like sport: it is a challenge to get them and the delivery feels like a victory. Hence: I am sure, we will see some more watches to come. Thank you for the pictures ans the review.
WOW! Seeing the hunter case back was double W O W!! Then seeing the detailing and decorations on the movement... Triple W O W!!! Huge congratulations Sam!!!
some macros if possible 😍 I've long given up on an 'exit strategy' Sam... Week #2 of 2018 has seen an unexpected acquisition and I'm already scouring it's vintage brother! It's a curse I tell ya!!!
congrats for this stunning catch! It is a watch I highly appreciate, much more the dial than the lid decoration to be honedt. But what an impressive piece! Exit watch? Yes exit to enter a new zone of purchases. Lol Fx
Still, owning a piece like this means it is more difficult to be drawn to other more basic pieces, don't you think so? For sure I will be more selective in the future.... Best
There are “grails” and then there is the 1815 Rattrapante PC, anyone who has seen the range in the metal will understand how special these timepieces are. The Handwerkskunst is truly magnificent in the metal, such a work of art!! Congratulations once agai...
Now about your question on the possibility of an exit watch, I would say that on a certain kind of watches, yes. I love the fact that one watch can summarize a lot of things in the horological universe. For example the epitome of an alarm watch, a perpetu...
Yes, the Double Split is truly iconic and I regret not having one because of my small wrist. Yet it is ironic that I fell in love with a similar sized watch....
Love every detail of the watch and that officiers caseback is to die for imho (as are all other details 😉) again huge congrats and enjoy your honeymoon and wear it in best of health 🙏🏻
May I ask is it loud on your wrist because of the size of the case or the design of the dial? In photos the dial looks gorgeous. Love your pictures of the movement. Best,
... the engraving of Luna's face on your caseback is more pleasing to me than these engravings of her face, which were released when the watch was first shown: ...
Congratulations, Sam! Wear it in good health. I began my quest for a Handwerkskunst a short time ago. The Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual and the 1815 Tourbillon were the two that we’re leading the way; particularly the 1815 Tourbillon. Now, I have seen your...
I’m quite positive there will be other grails like those PP MRs you have “touch on” in your salon visit. We can’t bring $$$ into the grave so might as well enjoy the most out of it when alive, like buying watches 😬 Huge congratulations 🎉🍾🎈 what a watch! R...
It's a good thing we only need 1 kidney to live! what a great and intricate watch. It would be nice to see this someday in the flesh. Wear in good health.
Wow. Nah, this must be the beginning for you ) Looking forward to the next one! Ken Feels like a long time ago when I went to HK and interviewed you... remember? Such a lovely memory...
