Wow, striking watch. Beautiful. Congratulations. (I just don’t get the third lug 🤷🏻♂️)
This Johann looks and is absolutely wonderful.
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
They call it rose…. But it looks pretty yellow to me
Not sure they ever made one in yellow
On your photo and also on the ones posted a few days ago,
it looks rather yellow indeed. Anyway, great looking and it's that matters.
Beautiful in every way.
Just not sure about that middle lug. Otherwise in my mind it’s perfect.
Pure class.
So beautiful, front and back. Was this an early example, or you've specifically asked for the number to be printed on the dial?
Such a gorgeous, breathtaking piece!
Also the way you wear this watch (combined with this outfit) is simply perfect!
Since 17 years I was looking at this pieces
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...
Thank you for explanation
it makes so much sense , now i like the middle lug a little more
So, just for clarity’s sake…
The third lug was part of an aesthetic design that Marco felt was important. He wanted to bring some “weight” or mass to the enter line of the watch, given that the crown with the subtle guards, meant that the right hand side of the watch was overly weigh...
Well you know my penchant for enamel dials…
Also, look at the Friedrich III, as perhaps a better size. It’s just under 40mm, which for my wrist is a better proportion, and with special Order enamel dial, possibly the perfect dress watch😉 The Johann at 43mm is marginally too big for me. Cheers! ...
Oh, well this is the ultimate from L&H
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 ...
Yes, a new chrono 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...
Truly amazing!
IMO L&H + Moritz are the two best german dress watch makers around today
Agree
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...
