... well, Count, I have seen more than a few original PLMs do it in front of my eyes and not all are well maintained, in fact a few of which was on their way to Germany for servicing.... Very well made mechanism and my jaw dropped when I saw it with my own eyes

Novelties land in Tokyo!
Here are the live photo report of the novelties which just landed in Tokyo - most have been reported, posted, discussed over and over again, but please bear with me :-) Here is the Part 1 of the report. Part 2 will be the dinner to be held this weekend, b...
WOW!!! Thank you
That was fun. You know, I initially placed an order for the Lumen, but I cancelled it after seeing more and more photos. I just can't live with those weird green fat numerals. I think I reacted primarily to how POTENTIALLY collectible it will be, more tha...
Funny as I recognize myself in what you wrote
the no-big-date, I like the rattrapante too, I don't like the lumes figures etc ... You are a man of taste
Great report ...thanks..."keep´em" coming...
Great report ...can´t wait for part two...
Thanks...
.. and welcome to PuristSPro! Keep YOUR posts coming! Hope you enjoy and have a great time spending around here. Best, Ken
No, no, no: I can not believe this :-)!
A watch that stops point at 0 when run down can not be true. It must be a coincident, an accident or a one off. O.K. as a Lange fan I COULD say Lange can do this with a freshly oiled one but still: with all the possible factors for inaccuracy that we all ...

I was actually "demanding" it from a PLM
Very interesting that you share and mention this little detail. As a PLM is a work of art and maths, but at the same time a play with accuracy AND inaccuracy (an inaccurate main spring actually), I was indeed wondering if that, the stop at point 0, can be...
LOL, if you are a little nuts.......
What about me? Hahah! Great coverage Ken! Tschuss Stephen
Fantastic report
I'm really looking forward to see them in Paris in May. Your pictures helped it a lot. I must say I really like this Rattrapante, even if it will certainly be heavy and uncomfy on my wrist. I'm curious to see whether or not I will like these 3 blued hands...
Thanks, Mark!
... YMMV. I like the all blue hands RL very much. Wish it were PT case, and 1mm smaller :-) Could do something with the dial in the future.... Ken
Ken you gave us a precious report.Watches of Lange are so enthusiastic.
I hope i will have one one day.:)
Keep the hope up! You will get one one day!
... good news is that you have plenty of time to decide which one to acquire first (and how)! I will be awaiting your first acquisition and show here. Ken
Great report & photos Ken!
I like the Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst and also this one: cheers Fernando ...
I wish the one which came on tour...
... were the working example. It was just a sample and could not work and handle. I wouldn't mind wearing it for a few days to see if I like it.... Thanks! Ken
Thank you for a great report, Ken
And the wonderful pictures to sample what was there to feast my eyes on. Very informative and getting me seriously considering the all blue hands RL as well. Will be making a trip to the boutique in Singapore when it makes it's way there soon enough to ch...
My pleasure!
Hi Richard, Many thanks. I am sure Singapore boutique already has all blue RL - separate from the novelty tour. I will be there next week :-) Ken
Hi Ken
Was the Lumen a prototype or working model? When i saw it in Singapore few weeks back only the prototype.
Thanks as always, Ken! Two things really caught my interest...
(1) Your comparison photos between the old and new 1815 Up/Down models were GREAT to see! Ever since the new 1815 Up/Down was announced, I've been wanted to see new and old side-by-side. I also appreciate your mentioning that the second hand on the new Up...
Finding the Split-second perpetual chrono a bit thick...
I can't say that I love the new split-second chrono, I find it too thick and not particularly elegant. The case profile of the side looks off, the buttons are too big, and overall it just doesn't look quite right. Those chocolates look especially interest...
I know what you mean...
.. but besides all that, it is attractive Lange in person.... :-) Thank you! Ken
I just love the hand engraving on the zeitwerk
too bad there isn't even a Lange dealer in my state...
It's the work of art...
... even though I am not a fan of Zeitwerk.... (I must admit, I DO love the "Zeitwerk room" of the factory, though :-)). Ken
Did not know they had a special workshop for the Zeitwerk
I thought it'd just be produced in a complication workshop.
Thanks a lot Ken for the comprehensive report!
And you had the ability to see more than the 2013 collection! How lucky you are! Thanks a lot for the great report, as usual. Fx
what magnificent pieces
thanks so much for that report! I find it odd that with so much more space on the dial of the new larger 1815 Up and Down, they still decided to cut the numeral 5 by the subdial. Otherwise, I just see perfection everywhere! Best Andreas
You have good eyes...
... good point. But I still think that 1815 U/D original or new has the great balanced dial.... Thank you! Ken
Great Report Ken!
Fantastic pieces by Lange... The rattrapante - perpetual calendar is very beautiful... It's nice that they try something new without the big date... I really love the dial layout, and the combination of rose gold case and blue hands The zeitwerk handwerks...
