A. Lange & Söhne

For the pleasure of the eyes, and well, for the ears, too, even if it is not the best Minute Repeater I could hear. Photos taken at W and W, in 2022: Best, Nicolas ...  

as good as a Lange gets.... Love every single detail of it. Cheers, Filip

Also very cool to see the SUG-made case...a rarity with Lange these days...

...  

Thank you. This is so cool to see.

...  

you ever had it sound off in public settings?

One can wish.

...  

Do you have any guess what prevents it from sounding better? In your opinion is it about movement construction, or about case material and dimensions, or smth else? Thanks.

...but it's hard to resist the heft of PT.

The other materials are fine on their own aspects, especially the innovative novelties. But at the end of the day when all is said and done, there is this absolute serenity that one feels by having a Pt masterpiece around your wrist.

As much as I hate to admit this hahah (You know how much Lange means to me ) Hence i was wondering if it is indeed a case that ALL Pt MR's are considered inferior in terms of its melody? I agree with you about those in Ti, or WG, RG as mentioned, but you ... 

Probably one of the few, if not the only demerit on a Pt encased masterpiece?

I recall comparing the platinum ZW Striking Time with a the gold one. The gold one sounded noticeably better. But the weight, the heft, was absent. And of course, congrats on your beautiful Richard Lange Minute Repeater!

And I couldnt agree more with you! Indeed, the gold took the oscars in the music department. Thank you very much, and it's good to hear from you again after quite some time!

its construction sounds good whatever the material and I believe that in platinum it is among the best as it channels the sound even better. ...  

Under a 10x loupe, it is sublime

It's been a bittersweet ride here for us in the city. But I'm sure many here could chip in...

Now I run my company as a capitalist in NYC... ..and I'm good at deflecting 😉 That repeater drives me crazy, tbh...

A la mode 😁🤌....

& they said inflight meal was bad ...  

Apologies for a VERY unclear shot of mine. Was never good at taking movement shots! Enjoy though! ...  

It sure is Nicolas, I am really proud of it, and feel so blessed to be able to own one out of the 50 there is. I do not know if they might decide to execute this MR in the other golds, as they did with the RL PLM, but perhaps when they do, the opera there... 

...  

Although I have to admit that it can't get as much wrist time as I would like to, as it is back in its nursery due to certain mechanical circumstances which unfortunately occured 😣😓😖

But still....... How could I EVER bad mouth it? Enjoy! ...  

Look at those marvelous hands!....

I think ALS and Vacheron make the prettiest hands besides independents........

Perhaps a future WristScan topic....

I'll make it into Buy The Hands - watches we'd purchase even if it was purely based on the hands design.... I'm thinking 1. VC, 2. ALS, 3. Piaget in my mind........ 🙂

I still hope for the day that Pt becomes as easily worked upon as clay so that the manufactures wont blame it all on machinability & have to charge us THIS much!

and as for the others, lets see, i see a PP there, a Journe here, definitely a gang of Langes, and dont forget the Cartier! Amongst a few more lurkers....... 😉

Will do so once i have it back from it's unfortunate condition right now!

The first, is that when the chiming mechanism is activated, the whirring sound of the fly governor is louder than it should be, which really distracts from the beautiful melody of the time being chimed out. This did NOT happen when the watch came new. Sec... 

Its similar to this situation that oddly happens in my country whereby you can have someone drive a Rolls Royce, vs one who drives a Toyota 86, and nobody blinks one bit at the Rollie, but everyone gawks at the 86.

Non-connoisseurs 😝

OMG....a beauty
