Lange & Sohne Datograph Platinum.
Jul 19, 2020,10:30 AM
In my Top Five Best Lange ever made, the Datograph certainly is in good place, at its place.
An iconic Chronograph not very comfortable to wear, not perfect, but what a watch!
Highly regretted.
Best,
Nicolas

I love this,

But I would have to take the Dufour, if forced to choose, something about the rose gold and dial color layout. No doubt this is an icon, in the PT iteration.
Yes! [nt]

But I believe there will come a time I will find the means to own it.
One of the best designed chronos, technically and aesthetically, no doubt.

Seems like there is a division amongst those who've owned one... between....wearable despite the excessive weight and thickness because it is so damn good in every other respect...sort of a labor of love; and just cannot make the piece work on the wrist d...
I would so love to own a lange

However, have yet to see the right piece and the right price. The emil lange is still No. 1 for me.
It was a nice choice.
By: Reuven Malter : July 19th, 2020-11:14
Then came JLC making a more precise moonphase for a third of the price.
I love it . A true icon

A watch doesn’t need to be perfect to be a perfect wrist watch

I have always preferred the 1815 chronograph

Yes, the Datograph is the original but it _is_ too thick and heavy, I never completely bought into the romans, it kinda can't decide whether it's a sport or a dress watch, I prefer understated (or, better, absent) tachymeters. The essence of this watch (a...
You definitely have a point
By: tim5 : July 19th, 2020-13:59
I agree that the date + subregister triangle is attractive and, also, is nicely echoed by the triangle formed by the romans, but the dato is just too damn thick and the white-on-black tachymeter is just a little too loud for me. I kinda like the slight as...
Perhaps the time only models. But I’m not inspired by them.

I lusted after a Zeitwerk until I tried it on. It felt like a metal puck on my wrist. Datograph not much better. I admire the highest level of craftsmanship that the brand represents, but (for me) too thick and heavy for practical wear.
IMHO one of The Grail Chronograph
By: Gelato Monster : July 19th, 2020-17:56
But for now, i am only yearning for Triplesplit ( darth black dial) or Duometre Rattra ( black dial). Both in light cold metal (prefer steel but titanium &tantalum would be ok)

Was very comfortable heaviness ...
There were 2 different original Datograph dials

NIcolas, Yours is one of the early ones. On the Tachy you'll notice yours says "METER". I guess someone pointed out to Lange that Meter is grammatically incorrect. Later editions read "METERS". Best to WPS, Larry ...
