A. Lange & Söhne

I will come back later this week with a detailed report... but I just wanted to tell you that the 20th Anniversary event was successful. Of course, the Anniversary watch was unveiled on Friday but I didn't feel that it was the most important, at least for a true fan of the brand like me. The most important was to be able to enjoy the celebration of the first collection which was presented 20 years ago in a room located a few meters from the place of the event. Two of the three persons who symbolized this rebirth were present these last days: Mr Walter Lange of course and Mr Hartmut Knothe. And the late Günter Blümlein was obviously in our minds.

It was a very moving event supported by the perfect organization of the Lange team.

I would like to share with you a few pics I took during my stay in Saxony:

I could shoot the Watches & Wonders collection... including my fav version of the Lange One  20th Anniversary, the blue dial one:

The Langematik Perpetual with black dial is beautiful:

Fortunately, I was supported in my shooting duties by a nice lady:

During a walk in the streets of Dresden, I could see this Tourbillon PLM with a gold bracelet in a boutique:

And here is... the Lange One Tourbillon Handwerkskunst...

Well... just the dial:

The finishings movements and the gorgeous lay-out of the plate:

The black enamel dial creates a lot of shades, sometimes it seems to be deep dark and a few seconds later, it tends to be lighter. A very subtle dial.

And of course... the usual wristshot!

More to come soon...

A big thank to the Lange Team for this great event which will always remain in my memory.

These wrist shots are also spectacular, and like you, I really like the blue Lange 1...the color and the design of the dial with the waves/guilloche is sublime.

So beautiful! 

I am sure you had a blast, there.

Best,

Nicolas

let's be honnest, I had the same feeling with the 175th from PP.

Not sure what to think of current evolutions...

No message body

that black enamel paired with the beautifully finished tourbillon bridge is a stunning combination......maybe aver all not my favourite Lange but quite beautiful indeed.

I saw some pictures on the net, they seem to have prepared a very nice event. happy you could attend it Fx.

I'm not a fan of the style of the blue dial L1.

On the other hand, The black dial Langematik seems stunning (I guess it looks like a Dato dial ?).

And I really like the Black dial 20pcs LE Lange 1.

Everything is perfect on this watch, the mix of polished white surfaces and black enamel, the Tourbillon, the small second, the movement decoration. It is not overloeaded as others can be.

Thanks for sharing

Cheers, Mark

I never like watches with any kind of cut out in the dial but I love this L1 Tourb.
