Wonderful photos and writeup of your journey within a journey.
I love the straps on your current watches, too. The blue on the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon is really nice.
And the Lange 1 luminous that you owned was always "Lange's first sports watch" in my mind. An unusual step for the company.
I wonder what will be next for you?!

Thank you.
...but my Datograph Perpetual does not come with Tourbillon. I had the strap on the 1815 Chrono for a long time.
Not sure what will be next, but I did consider the 1815 Rattrapante Perp Calender. Tried it in PT but never get to see the Salmon version.
ZW Date looks awesome too but I fear it'll be too big for me.

Ah yes, my apologies. I mindlessly typed DPT after looking.
ZW Date is worth seeing in person. Lange did a really nice job with that, as with the ZW Striking Time. They're large but not uncomfortable. Please keep us posted!
What an amazing journey ! I especially love the Luminous and Darth L1s, but they are all winners.
These are the Langes I own / used to own:
Started off in 2014 with the Lange 1 Soiree (still in my collection):
Then I really lusted after a Lange chronograph after seeing all the sumptuous movement shots on forums such as this, so I got the 2nd gen 1815 chronograph back in 2016:
Sold that one recently as I found it a bit too sterile over time (for lack of a better word).
Then in 2018 I upgraded to the mighty OG Datograph in platinum (still in my collection):
This sums up my Lange journey thus far. Nowhere near as nice as the OPs collection, but lovely pieces nonetheless. Hopefully I will acquire another Lange watch in the (near) future (the Zeitwerk's call is strong).
Cheers,
Pieter
I missed the Dato.
You have an awesome pair that represent a big part of Lange.
Good luck with the ZW, Pieter. Which variant are you after?

Thanks Goh !
I particularly like the ZW Striking Time. Was mesmerised when I saw and heard it during the Lange factory tour back in 2018. Pretty large for my relatively scrawny wrists, alas. But might just be able to pull it off.

Two beautiful Lange,s you have .
I just had one Lange 1 just after they brought back the brand and had it for many years. Then my interest for independent brands started and sold the L1 to fund other watches . Nowadays I would love to add a Zeitwerk at some point 🙏🏻
Thanks Goh for sharing your Journey.
I too, have landed on the LP and Dato, but don’t have the Dato Perpetual.
Awesome duo you have today! And what a great history, Goh.
If I had to choose only one Lange...it would be that exact Dato Perpetual. I saw it in the metal a few months back at a Lange Boutique: they had ordered it in for a fellow customer - just utterly stunning.
Seems we've been to several of the same places too, mate...
