Torquemada's Saturday Torture: Langematik Anniversary or Lange 1815 Moopnhase Emil Lange?
Let's have some painful fun, and try to choose between these 2 beauties, the 1815 Moonphase E.Lange, or the Langematik Annivesary.
To me, these are the two most desirable Lange ever made, which combinate very well together since one is manual, the 1815, an the other is automatic, the Anniversary.
One enamel, one extra accurate moonphase, two platinum cases, 35, 9 mm ( The 1815 ) or 37 mm ( The Anniversary ).
Both extremely charming. Both tough to find, even if the Anniversary has been produced in bigger numbers ( 500 versus 150 ).
The 1815 Moonphase Emil Lange:
The Langematik Anniversary:
Now comes the Torquemada's game... If you had to choose only one, which one would it be?
Tough choice, isn't it?
Best,
Nicolas

Not fair!
both are mandatory! But the Emil wins by a mile. The black dial is magnificent with its markers. It is a really unique dial watch. I have nothing else like it. The anniversary, while enamel, and the unique red 12 make it desirable, but there are other ena...
That makes big sense, indeed. I tend to agree that both are mandatory. Better...
Both sums in a nice way Lange's Talent in watchmaking. They also belong to a bygone era... Which is a tad sad. Best, Joe. Nicolas
I belong to the Langematik Anniversary camp....
.... The combination of the enamel dial, blue hands, and of course the 'bleeding' XII makes the Anniversary a breathtaking icon.
Easy..
If you have the Emil, you will need to have the Anniversary and vice versa. If you have neither, start with one and patiently wait for the other. :) I would like to have both at the same time to avoid any conflict - in my dreams.:) Best fernando
It's like asking me to choose between two sons
but maybe the Emil just win it by a whisker for me. Regards Ian
The good thing is that you can't go wrong. The risk is that you may think of...
Getting the other, after getting your first... A Classic. ;) Best, Nicolas
Tough choice.....
I would love both, if I can only have one it would be the Langematik. The movement may be the nicest looking auto ever made in my opinion. Tough to pass up on that whole package. Tony
Vlad's torture is tough to survive!
Arghhh I love both! Emil Lange PT if I have to choose one ! Cheers Robin
The 1815 Moonphase Emil Lange for me............
but a automatic ALS is something that I will own some day I guess.
Funny. I would have posted that question let's say 10 years ago...
The Anniversary would have won with a strong margin... Due to its bigger case. I am very interested to see that mentalities are changing. Best, Nicolas
Anniversary and Anniversary Wempe
At the risk of being thought of as iconoclast, I would say Grosse Langematik Gangreserve, because I have difficulty in putting small diameters. Best, nino
That is an important criteria. As I wrote to Jocke...
Some years ago, the Anniversary was the clear winner due to its extra millimeter. Best, Nino. Nicolas
It is a tough choice because we can't actually compare them
Handwind vs Automatic, Complicated vs non Complicated, Enamel dial for one... two of the best LE from Lange for sure but I have a big problem to put them side by side. So any serious collector would say: both... Fx
1815 Moonphase for me.
Although the Langematik is truly a watchmaker's watch, the starry narrative of the Emil Lange is just so powerful to me. Thanks for showing these, Nicolas.
Truly. There is something very strong with the Emil.
While the Anniversary is maybe more " evident "? Best, Nicolas
You are torturing me Nico...
...with your Emil posts! The Langematik is a beauty indeed...but there is something even more special going on with the Emil IMO. Very very high in my wishlist, and that's partially your fault! ;)
That is totally unfair if not cruel !
Just at the very precise moment that I finally reach a decision after long hesitation... Because choosing is renouncing and if you can't have all then you have to choose... So I had finally reach that point where I could press the GO button and... ARRRGH ...
Cruelty is my speciality for so many centuries, now. ;)
Another one I will have to show you, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Abit late to the game..
I will choose the anniversary, in this match up.. If The anniversary was up against the Lange 1815 mp homage edition, then its a different story.. Tat mp wull inch out the anniversary
You mean the honey gold 1815 MP Anniversary?
Funny, for me the Platinum E Lange is muuuch nicer, dial and backside! Now, the question remains painful. ;) Best,Nicolas
Yes that one...
I m a sucker for the blue hands I guess.. And I also really like the fonts of the 1815 line It's a dilemma I wish I could have Good luck
Somewhat late to this party.. But it's really a tough choice.. So divers ! ;))
- But ok, my friend: If one, only ONE allowed, I guess I'd go for the 1815 Emil Lange MP, maybe because of poetry in an a bit unusual watch. Hmmmh.. Although on the other hand, the Anniversary would be my first enamelled dial, and as it's so classic !.. -...
I own the Anniversary, the Emil never appear to me
for moonphase, I will pick the Lange 1 moonphase Japan boutique edition or the new Pt Lange 1 moonphase
Anniversary with the nice red XII. Favorite traditional Lange.
I just can't get past the big dipper on the moon phase. I have this idea that celestial bodies should move, and always having a big dipper and some star shaped indices that don't move, I'm sure I would prefer it with only the moon. And this watch has so m...
More than a little late to the game
But my vote goes to the 1815 moonphase. But just by a whisker.. Hope to see more replies to this interesting poll!
One Vote for Each!
Sorry I am very late to this party. I would cast one vote for each! So different, but my favorite two dials among all Lange watches and the most "romantic" pieces in the collection in my opinion. That said, getting an 1815 MP was a higher priority for me ...
What
an awesome picture of my two grails. Would be ecstatic to own either one of them!
Both are beautiful...
Discreet yet charming In a heatbeat, I'll pick the Emil Lange moon phase Cheers my friend! Sam
Both are stunning...
But I chose the Anniversary! When you look at the watch in the sunlight, the dial is beyond amazing!
Both,But if I was forced to pick
It\'s going to be the langematik by a whisker. Best, Ahmed
