It's stunning!

I see your point...I think the power reserve looks fine and distinguishes it more from the 'regular' datograph. And for a double split, the power reserve may be more useful to make sure you have the stored energy required to time your 2 events simultaneou

Can understand how you feel, Nicolas.

I too have flirted with buying the Double Split for many years - and have held and worn it several times - but never pulled the trigger. Reflecting upon this, I have concluded that - for me at least - the watch is a bold masterpiece of movement-making but

Lange & Sohne Double Split.

I have mixed feelings on the Double Split. I love the concept and the movement, I want to love the watch, and thought about getting one more than once. The power reserve indicator is the detail which bugs me. I would have preferred a big date, instead. A

Tony, you are correct: this is Lange's only watch with a central seconds hand.

In fact, in the early 2000's, it posed quite a design challenge for Lange. The long seconds hand kept fluttering - and this was something Lange could simply not accept. Accordingly, after trying several mitigating options but not being happy with the resu

What an interesting post with a heated discussion. I suppose one shall not compare the brands but shall compare watches. I would like to leave 3 unbiased thoughts on the subject and a personal opinion.

1) PP are very wearable and this aspect is often looked upon when compared to others. People mentioned ALS, so I'll use it as an example. We all praise Lange double split and triple split for the insane innovations and craft. But these watches are 15 mm t

I went ahead…

As it is a cousin of the 1185 caliber, with lots of history around it. 1186 takes it up another notch. Automatic double split chronograph…
