ALS or VC ?
And what about this choice between two very close watches ?
- A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition Pulsometer (30 pulsations) in white gold, ref. 414.026 with caliber L951.5
- Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache in platinum, ref. 5000H/000P-B058 with caliber 1142

Lange for me.
The movement makes the difference for me ...and I like German style watches !!
The movement is gorgeous indeed.
But the 1142 has a Lemania lineage and, personally, I like the design of the VC case much better.
That said, the ALS is a stunner of course.

If you don't respond to the lugs, then of course the ALS is the best choice!
I feel differently, but fully understand your own feeling.

In this case the CdV would get my vote. The movement on the Lange might just edge it but the front…
Which you see 98% of the time works better on the CdV for me 😊👍🏻
Both are spectacular watches 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I feel exactly the same way.
I remember when I tried on the rose gold ALS in Berlin before purchasing my CdV: even though I was very impressed and drawn to the movement, I knew right away that I preferred the CdV.
And the 1142 caliber might be less impressive, but it has a wonderful Lemania lineage.

As said…
Both are excellent choices but the heart wants what the heart wants 😉 And for me that’s clearly the CdV in this case 😊
"Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ignore" says Blaise Pascal !
The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of...
Aha, yes: the best of both worlds!
But even if the ALS movement is greater, I still love the Lemania based 1142 (with its Maltese cross column wheel).
This one, my friend, is equally as easy of a choice!!!
Just this time the judgment is in favor of the Corne de Vache =)))
VC at the top of their 'game' 
Yes, I feel the same way.
And it's why I chose the CdV over the 1815 (I tried both in rose gold before making my definitive choice)!
