There is at least one serious novelty and ...
(absolutely) nothing is wrong with well made evolutions.
One of my first thoughts: the "Dato Collector" of today should consider (at least) two watches in his collection - the original/first Pt version and the latest one in RG
Mark, thanks for sharing!

I agree concerning the evolutions...
and I think after 2 or 3 years that the new Dato UD is very well born and very attracting (I was far from being convinced at first sight)
The original Dato in Pt is iconic for sure but I think that, after 2 years of thoughts, the new one has reached the 1st place to my taste.
Hence, I find the PC Dato better than the previous one and I like the PG black dial as well (even if PG/black dial combo is not my taste).
Thanks for sharing your opinion Oliver.

Very pleasing lineup
The Zw MR is a great accomplishment, and well executed maintaining the Zw striking proportions. Can't wait to get some hands-on impressions from those in attendance!
The re-release of the WG Dato P is nice, I enjoyed that dial/metal combination a lot when it was in production previously.
Overall a great set of novelties appealing to purists and newcomers alike i think, thank you very much for sharing so quickly!
Best,
Colton
Indeed the Dato PC grey dial is rare enough to be appreciated...
and, as I said to Oliver I really love this new evolution compared to the previous one.
I also like this 2015 line-up very much.
You're welcome Colton

Great!
To see the sizes of the Saxonia getting smaller. I half expected a limited edition for the 1815 line to celebrate 200 years since the birth of A Lange but perhaps this may be done at a different time this year.
18th of February 2015 you will see them, if there will be an edition for that occasion. [nt]

Finger crossed
and, by the way, I just took pictures from the Lange 1 Handwerkskunst I could see again today and... I'm in love!
Cheers, Mark

Is it actualy available?
I mean, Fx said also "surprise, surprise the Lange1 Handwerkskunst" is on display.
I was surprised that it is on display as I would assume all are sold.
Is it available?
Moritz
In fact the watches that travel around the world are the "prototypes"
So I think the L1 Handwerkskunst is indeed sold out.

Thank you Mark for the report
Very exciting year for Lange!
I am especially happy to see a "Dufourgraph" up down 
Just wore my Dufourgraph last week. Feel like wearing it again tomorrow after seeing the new up down version. What a beauty!
Cheers
Robin
You're welcome robin :)
That's a gorgeous photo and a great Lange!
Yes, the Dufourograph is a strong asset in the collection.

Another DATO PERPETUAL version from ALS website
I found a picture of this one on their website which we didn't hear about and which is not in the novelties line-up ALS posted.
The new upper blue hands in each subdials and the chrono blue hand show it is the new version (as the 41mm in the details and the Glasshutte I/Sa writing)

You mean it was already there last year ?
wow, I missed a little something :p
Do you know when it was launched? It seems it wasn't in the last SiHH2014 reports.
Thanks for the info Oliver.
