A. Lange & Söhne

Richard Lange, to be precise.  I have never even tried on a A. Lange & Sohne.  I have always liked the Lange 1.  Just recently I have started researching the various models a bit.  One of my favorites is the rose gold black dial 1815 Chronograph, which seems to now be discontinued.  The Datos are spectacular.  Also like the L1 Timezone.   Not sure I like the Grand L1 as much as the regular L1, although the Luminous model seems to work nicely in that range.

But I keep circling back to the Richard Lange.  What a beautiful watch.

Great forum here guys.  Hope to join you guys soon w/ a piece of my own

I'm pondering with another Lange as well. Totally understand your thought. Wish you getting your piece soon!

I don't know how to read what I see on the dial but I am overwhelmed with its beauty.

Thanks for sharing this with us.

Please show us some more and explain for us common people all the things on the dial.

Ha,ha,ha Bill,

You make me wondering are you the one who posted the post above,you seems over gentle with me.

As MTF put it,on the picture and on the wrist are totally 2 different story.From reading and hearing are different from you own actual feels.....you old bird should understand this.

Lange TZ,to some may be over busy/complicated on the dial but to other might be a expression of sophistication.I look at it as,to tell time and date are fine just look for the longest hand and the date's window.You hardly need to use the second time zone or world time indicator unless you are a frequent traverlers.The different in this Time zone is ,the second time and  home time are able to let you adjust you own,either you prefer the local time to be adjusted in the small second time or vise versa.May be that is why they call it as Time Zone rather than world time or world time GMT.Another feathure is,the user may refer to the city on the world time for the exact time of the city through the small blue hand indicator at the second time dial.

Its a beauty of its own,any way there are no other World time as advance or as unique as this Lange TZ,that's why i pull my trigger on it without second thoughts.See the back its nice too.Look at the gold wheel on the back side.....its rotating flawlessly,enjoy.

Yes i need to load the gun and pull the trigger on this beaty.

The problem for me is that I have already six bullets targeted.  S,  I will put the in the mix and get rid of one target.

I am sooo khappy to see the lange TZ is already strong in your collection.

Best regards

Bill

Hey bill,

Read the remarks below by Nicolas,Rob you better have others to give way to this Noble House of Horology.

Lange is dancing on the edges of Fine craftmanship of Arts.If you doubt my point,just give it a try put in ou your wrist for sometime,you will be mesmerize by its beauty.(Quoted by Rob).You had it with Paenrai's outrageous outdoor's charm and this will be a different/reverse type of pleasure,my friend.

Hope to see your piece soon,my friend.

Thanks to Bill for asking the questions b/c I've always found all the cities round the dial fantastic, but I didn't and still don't know how to read them.  I think I understood that the lower and small right hand dial is the second time zone.  But, how does one know which city it refers to?  I don't see a pointer that is proprietary for the cities around the dial.  Help!

subdial at 5 o´clock is indeed the second time zone indicator ... and IN
this subdial you see a gold triangle, also at 5 o´clock, that points to the
city corresponding with the time in the subdial.

The indicator at approx 8 o´clock "touching" the subdial is the day/night
indicator for the time displayed in the subdial.

Thanks, Edwin.  Now I won't feel so intimidated and lost looking at the dial.

Best,

Meehna,

Goodday,nice to have an question raised.Just push the pusher for selecting the city,and the time for the city will be indicated on the second time dial/zone.Regarding the pointer,please allow the following pictures,

From the 1st picture,you should able to detect a "Gold" pointer,indicating the city desired on the world time index.Clicking the pusher will have the cities index rotates in clock-wise manner.

And please find two "gold"pointer with blue strip on the main dail and second time dail,those two indicator are for day/night for each dial's time respectiely.

Hope i handled you question properly,please feel free to ask.

Thanks...........

... it's 3:10pm in Kuala Lumpur?

Also, as the triangle moves clockwise round, is it hard to correctly get the angle to tell which city the triangle indicates.  I'm not *that* old, but I'm not sure I'd trust my eyes.  But, I guess I should know which timezones I'm tracking while I'm globe hopping, huh?   Let me know how you work with it. 

Very cool and advanced complication.

Hi Meehna,

From your observation on my watch when the pictures were taken!We consider 3.10pm Kuala Lumput time.And look at the 2nd picture,it indicated local time at that time was 3.10 am.ya!Look at the am/pm indicator on both dial.Got it?therefore on the contrary of time,i wll be somewhere in New york/vancover if that is the local time on the main dial at that time.Understand?

this watch allows as to turn the whole thing around.take the upper scenario as an example.if we the turn the main dial to 3.10pm to local time(Kula Lumpur),and we click the pusher pointing at New York city,it will display 3.10 am for second dial(time zone)indicator.Get it?

How i wish you are infront of me,but that is about operating theTimezone.And i would say is the most advance real "world time" you can find in the market.

Happy weekend.

always like RG on black dial

This Lange is stunning.
I , as you know, am mad, but not a little, COMPLETLY mad about the World Time complication.
This Lange is one of the nicest example.
As always, CONGRATS!!!!
Nicolas

to join us here (but you already knew that)!

But if you own one, you will know why we are so excited ;-)

Visit an AD and let the creations from the AltenbergerStrasse awe you! But
remember ... once you have been infected with the virus there is no way back
... the virus is there to stay, uhh, it is a chronic disease.

Have fun finding your first Lange; try as many as you can and pick the one
that makes you smile the most.

Cheers

Edwin

Lange is one of those watch houses that just never cease to mesmerize. Its quality, design, attention to detail in all aspects is what makes it stand head above shoulders in the higher-tier of luxury timepieces, joining a very select few in the upper pantheon that really deserves the adoration of the horology enthusiast.

Looking forward to seeing your new piece soon!!

Appreciate all the input.

and missed on all the fun on how to tell time.....! At least I now know how to read the TZ!

 

Thanks BHK

 

Cheers!  sh
