A. Lange & Söhne

One lazy morning....

It's been a gloomy and rainy morning and my golf game got cancelled

Trying to fight off the boredom, I took out my new phone (Panasonic CM1 with a Leica lens and built-in sensor) and took some mug shots of my latest acquisition - the ALS Langematic Perpetual in platinum.

The watch is an 'old' model currently in production. I used to own the rose gold version but somehow prefer the platinum model to the one in white gold and black dial launched earlier this year.

I won't dwell too much on the specifications - the dial is made of solid silver, the appliques of solid gold. Hands are filled with a luminous compound assuring legibility even in the dark. It has a sell-winding movement (the only part I don't like) - Caliber L922.1 and a bidirectional three-quarter rotor. There are 478 parts and 43 jewels.

The monochrome pictures are taken with the mobile phone without the help of Photoshop. A total of 18 different effects are possible.....

Another wrist-shot

Resting alongside with a brother - which one do you prefer?

Hope you enjoyed the pictures.

As for your question, Langematik Perpetual, for me, please. That one, plus a simple Dato, first generation. ;) Best, Nicolas

haha....I knew all along you are not a fan of

the Datograph Perpetual because of the busy-looking dial. Like you, I am leaning more and more towards the white metal, and as a result, I am keeping fewer and fewer rose gold pieces. I hope this is something I won't regret over time. Best Sam

Don't get me wrong, the Dato Perpetual is a nice watch, but I prefer the Dato. [nt]

The Dato Perpetual is still one of my favorite watches. For me, it's a toss up between the two... Best Sam ...

A special watch.

Though the LP is as well. And your Leica has a certain charm also! Nice collection.

Thank you

The Datograph Perpetual is more sporty and casual while the Langematic Perpetual is more dressy and elegant, in my opinion. Love them both. Regards, Sam

Congratulations!

Sam, this watch was my favorite ALS for a very long time (and still is, even if I like the black dial one very much too). Perfect size to my wrist, perfect dial to my taste, I've been hesitating more than once. The saxomat is a great movement too and I'm ...

Thanks Mark

I had a chance to get this watch some 10 years ago but foolishly passed on the opportunity. It had haunted me ever since. Now I have to pay a much larger sum of money and get it from the dealer. The watch is slightly different - a pin is used to change th...

I was proposed this watch in 2010/2011 as the AD was stopping the brand. The price was great but I never thought I would put this amount of money in a watch. I always remember that time regretting I didn't make the move back then. And yes, I noticed your ...
