Hi Craig,

I am not surprised that you are wearing the dead seconds so often. It is one of my enduring all time favourite watches, in any of its iterations.

While your posed photos (of all your watches) are great, I would love to see some wrist shots, if you could indulge me at some future time. It would be much appreciated.

Congratulations again,

Andrew

.. and me, everytime i lay my eyes on it

I saved it to my "watches" file already (credited as Fernando's VC chrono). I hope you don't mind (^_^).

Best

Ahmet

You are very welcome and thanks. The 1815 chrono is also on my wish list. Lovely movement and so comfortable on the wrist.(ssshhh....secretly I prefer it to the Dato)

Cheers

Fernando

Between me and you (so Dato fans shouldn't hear), a few mms extra height for the date (which I find unecessary on a chrono) disturbs me and my arm. Chrono is a chrono ha?

Cheers

Ahmet

You got it!

Superb pic, my friend.

You nicely show the appeal and the strenght of this Lange.

Best, and... HAGWE.

Nicolas

I will try to take some more pictures and make a post for the A. L&S forum since this configuration seems to be quite rare. All I need now is a handsome companion fot it; a VC chrono les historiques in J (as you know very well). It is the hunting session my friend. And I know you keep your eyes open as well (^_^).

Sincerely

Ahmet

The City of Melbourne is blanketed in smoke from the Victorian bushfires and the sinking sun is blood red tonight; bleeding for the lives lost and the families shattered. The stories of heroism and support are, however, uplifting amongst all the sadness.

 

An emotional week in Victoria.

. . . may they be extinguished soon and without further loss of life . . . supportively, Art

... have my compassion and knowledge of what a fire can do....
And thanks for having me see my beloved Tradition...
I hope for the best dear Andrew....

Thanks for your kind comments, Tassos and Art,

 

Cooler weather and better wind conditions have been kinder to the fire-fighters this week and there is less direct threat to towns at the moment.

 

The combination of several years of drought, a record run of hot days over 43oC the week before and then this hottest day (people are starting to call it “Black Saturday”) ever on record for Victoria (46.4oC/115oF), as well as a rapid change in wind direction meant that even those who were relatively well prepared to fight the fire and protect their homes where overwhelmed.

 

I know that California and Greece have their fair share of fires and I appreciate your thoughts. There are a number of international fire fighters arriving from around the world to help us which is fantastic.

 

While these sorts of disasters put things into perspective, I am also reminded that our time pieces accompany us through life’s good and bad events. They are important companions and reminders of what we live through.

 

Kindest regards,

 

Andrew
