A. Lange & Söhne

I thought I would never own a Lange again

Ever since I disapprove of the 'bundling' policy relating to the Odysseus...

But I saw this simple Richard Lange with green croco last year and could not lose it in my mind, hence the plunge after a full 12 months.

Now the problem is finding the right attire to match it :P

Looks great on green

You could go green suede to make it more casual

You mean a green suede strap?

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-01:36

Especially compelling ALS.

By: AuHavrePro : July 9th, 2024-01:41

I just love the elegance and minimalism of it. Much joy with it, cheers, Filip

Thanks

I am inclined towards time only watches these days

I would think this watch goes well with anything.

By: gary_g : July 9th, 2024-01:45

Like a tux or jeans and polo.

Like this pale green Lardini jacket?

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-02:13

Looks great.

By: gary_g : July 9th, 2024-02:40

Great matching attire you have identified...

By: Goh : July 9th, 2024-03:14

Attire to match? Problem solved...

By: mdg : July 9th, 2024-02:05

LOL I should have thought of that

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-02:11

That is beautiful!

By: patrick_y : July 9th, 2024-02:08

Thank you

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-02:11

Is the strap by Lange or a different maker?

By: patrick_y : July 9th, 2024-02:13

it's a Lange strap

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-02:15

It comes in light green or deep green

Acknowledged! Thank you! Again, lovely choice. Tasteful choice!

By: patrick_y : July 9th, 2024-20:50

You are very stylish!

Awesome catch. Congratulations, Sam.

By: Goh : July 9th, 2024-03:13

Thanks

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-03:40

Have yet to find an occasion to wear it

Congratulations!

By: smironov : July 9th, 2024-05:22

Light brown is cool. Congrats, it is one of these very good Lange.

Have regretted not going for the

Richard Lange pour le merite with enamel dial...

Oh yes! Platinum or Rose Gold one?

By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-07:33

either one will do

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-08:34

Here is one for you.

By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-08:36

Elegant

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-09:02

Super attractive. Even in platinum.

By: amanico : July 9th, 2024-09:03

Looks almost like bronze.

By: kjkt3 : July 11th, 2024-07:28

Well... Almost. ;)

By: amanico : July 11th, 2024-10:08

Three-handed perfection. Congratulations.

By: Uncle Chico : July 9th, 2024-06:40

You summed it up well

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-08:34

Lovely - congrats samwan.

By: aviya : July 9th, 2024-08:07

I have the same piece - but not on a strap with as much character as yours. I...don't believe I have anything green in my wardrobe though, so I think I'm good! Enjoy your PG Richard Lange.

That's why I deliberated before plunging....

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-08:35

You have done well, sir

By: blau : July 9th, 2024-10:03

I keep returning to this watch but have never gone for it; whenever I try one it just doesn't sit right on my wrist. But it's such a strong and elegant chronometer, it's hard to ignore!

I can understand

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-13:44

The same basically happened to me....

Congratz on this piece.

By: greatpa : July 9th, 2024-11:01

A classic design language like Lange's will stay relevant for a very long time IMO. Hence, I understand why it stuck in your mind.

Yes

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-13:45

Simple is more...

Beautiful piece, you can wear that watch with anything. I would even put it on with the T-shirt.

By: aperna : July 9th, 2024-11:06

Thanks

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-13:44

I will try the casual angle...

That's why I love this reference so much!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 9th, 2024-18:10

I have long admired the Richard Lange references, and this one is perfectly wearable. Love it.

By: David H : July 9th, 2024-12:05

The 3-handed design is

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-13:47

Much better than the jumping seconds or regulator models IMO

It looks great.

By: hora12reborn : July 9th, 2024-19:54

Glad you concur

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-23:53

Congratulations

By: emcquillan : July 9th, 2024-21:07

The three handed RL is one of my favourite three handed watches along with the PLM. So much charm. In 2019 at a Lange dinner there were some heavyweight watches at the dinner table and Max from Germany was most taken with my simple RL 232.032. He kept goi...

Yes, the 3-handed RL is

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-23:56

A failsafe and longlasting design...

Wonderful combo!

By: bruckner4 : July 9th, 2024-23:36

Thanks

By: samwan : July 9th, 2024-23:54

Simplicity at its best.

By: Rhyzen : July 10th, 2024-02:35

The Richard Lange is sadly underappreciated. The rose gold case goes brilliantly well with the strap. Beautiful!

Right. an unbeatable combo

By: samwan : July 10th, 2024-03:12

Great combo, Sam, and glad you found a comfort zone with present-day Lange.

By: CR : July 11th, 2024-12:41

Do you know if Lange had this strap made by Camille Fournet? Or was it Jean Rousseau? I believe Lange still uses CF for their standard straps and JR for the less common/bespoke straps, and I'm not sure where this green strap would fit. It's very nice! Yea...

I know nothing about Lange straps

By: samwan : July 11th, 2024-13:54

except that I found this light green strap fitting nicely with the pink gold, nicer than the dark green at least. I will ask the Lange people when I have the chance....
