An absolute masterpiece. It is in good company in your collection.
Wear it in the best of health, friend.
Aaah ... here is the post of your new DS!😀 My tip: play the "double ten" with it.
Have overlooked it.
An engenious, must have piece from Lange.
There is a "special way" to use it.
I call it the "the double ten":
Let it run, press at ten.
This is now your your reference time.
The watch is still running with one hand.
Press flyback at four (if I am not wrong).
One hand only will fly back, rattrapante hand still showing your reference time.
If your new reference time is better (shorter or longer) than press ten twice.
The rattrapante hand will catch up (forward or backwards!!!) with the old reference time and stop also with the new reference time, at once!

It is simple. Follow the instructions. If you like consult your Lange AD about it, best a Lange boutique. They should be able to confirm that way of functioning. [nt]

My dear Count your explanation benumbs me.
A practical example from you would be more than welcome.
I happen to be wearing my DS right now, using all of its functions on an unregular but often daily basis.
Such things like taking 4 different eyedrops totaling 11 times per day with 15 minutes delay between them and then cooking spaghetti al dente to 7 3/4 minutes. Those are just some of life*s little concerns. My life, I must admit.
This coming week I will pick up my Triple Split, ordered on a waiting list from my AD about 2 1/2 years ago.
I had almost given up hope of getting one - or my present ability to pay for it.
The "Double Totaliser" as I call it (12 Hours) will be a boon, since the 30 minute on the Double Split constrains my field of activity.
Still I will be using the Double Split - and other chronographs - for immensely practical everyday purposes.
Tool watches? Why not, albeit in an exalted category of "made to be used".
So much for the horological writers who consider the Triple Splits as a n utterly useless piece of gear and then go on to praise perpetuals, repeaters and all the rest.
There may be some confusion between the chronograph hands (blue or black) for the minutes) and the rattrapant hands (golden) at least that was the way for me at the very beginning.
Best wishes and keep on keeping tim

Hello my dear ammerix! Long time no see ...
Good to hear that you are using your DS still in a daily basis and make sie of it.
Regarding the comment about the new TS being unnecessary:
only a person who has no idea or imagination for a practical use for a TS can think so.
I am sure you will use and enjoy it every day.
Please make some pictures of your TS once you have got it!
Best regards

DS is the more esthetically pleasing. The edges of the pushers are very smooth and rounded. Roman numerals, like them or not, contribute to this glorious piece. Platinum for me has a comforting feel as well as comfortable when balanced by the strap or bracelet. A touch of elegance - supreme - yes, yes.
But beauty can distract from purpose. The DS as with most chronometers including those up to an hour but do not let the minutes jump have a limit of 30 minutes. With that in mind we can go slightly beyond - but only slightly! I am easily distracted, so that there may be confusion about timing something for an hour and twenty minutes and an hour and fourty minutes - 1:20 or 1:40? Things "thinks" like that. Of course a totaliser like a Daytona will provide this information on a minisculd dial. But two interconnected time comparisons -- I am still working on that with the Triple Split, trying to control my daily life working solo.
Which I hugely enjoy, just for normal timing operations, including not least the capacity to switch from Gold to Blue depending on the light conditions (readability).
IMPORTANT is that according to the instruction booklet the blue hands are the retropant ones and the gold hands are the chronograph ones. Otherwise it will get confusing about which buttons to push, in which sequence -- and When.
A tip is using the TS in what I call a countdown mode, where you are no longer limited to 30 minutes but to 12 hours - and more!
Kind regards from

I agree: easthetically the DS is winning
I can also imagine that knowing each hand can be quite tricky with such complex watches 😀.
Good to see that you are already on the job to explore your fantastic Tripple Split.

Sorry, meant rattrapante not retropant. Apology for any other goofs. [nt]

Trying to upload pictures - first time in twenty years!
These were snapped by a friend who accompanied me to the AD. Main point of interest is the Double Split - side by side, back and front - right next to the Triple Split. Both of them are mine. If this does not work out technically, I will send a PM.
Finally it is there; Big congrats to this catch!
Outstanding piece from Lange.
Very happy for you and I know you will use it extensively and with a lot of joy.
Keep us informed about handling it and let us know the situations you use this magnificent Tripple Spli!
A top collector's item ...
