Among the very, very best in its category and I particularly love your combo: gold hands, white enamel dial and dark burgundy strap. Is it yellow or rose gold? Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Best, Emmanuel

Not sure they ever made one in yellow

it looks rather yellow indeed. Anyway, great looking and it's that matters.

And the reverse side is a work of art as well. Congratulations!

Just not sure about that middle lug. Otherwise in my mind it’s perfect.

So beautiful, front and back. Was this an early example, or you've specifically asked for the number to be printed on the dial?

Also the way you wear this watch (combined with this outfit) is simply perfect!

Often considered it … until a friend was selling his. Had to buy it. I agree during all these years I also wondered “why the middle lug” Today , and already quite some time, I accept it and see it as their typical design A bit like the magnifying bubble o...

The Albert mono pusher co-axial chronograph is still in my top three watches of all time. Sadly L&H has discontinued this epic model. So this lucky few who got one are fortunate to say the least. I’d stretch to the 44mm case if this was to show up😉 Sadly ...  

How? BTW I was told a new chronograph is coming

Sadly for me, it won’t be the Albert. Which when knowing the story behind it, who made it and why, means so much. The direction change is understandable given the ownership structure and management style. For me, fundamentally the shift from when Marco wa... 

IMO L&H + Moritz are the two best german dress watch makers around today

Lange & Söhne, Grossmann and Lange & Heyne are all 3 impressive But I choose Lang & Heyne without any doubt. Had a Lang & Söhne about 18 years ago (damn time flies) I loved it but had to sell it sooner than expected but my AD offered me a 5070P. Could aff...
