A Mature & Dignified Choice.

Although the mechanical gymnastics are often impressive, like yourself, I seem to have little need for a repeating mechanism, chronograph "stop watch" function or many other bells & whistles. What I do find important is accurate timekeeping which historucally is of course what horology is really about. May I say that I for one applaud your sensibilities. You deserve this timepiece.

We all have our favourite interpretations of horology in watchmaking. My favourite part of watches is the engine and I'm sure many of you would share my taste. Embossed quality A. Lange & Söhne came back on the market more than a decade ago, but it was re...  

Merci beaucoup Dje for the report!

Thanks a lot

Thank-you for your detailed discussion and stunning pictures. I have got the same model in may. It is a wonderful watch. I am not quite so sure that the movement is free-sprung and with a breguet balance spring.

Wear it in good health

I´m really fallen in love of this watch. It means the essence of Lange watches. The essence of Germany.

Great write up Dje.

Well done Jerome, very nice flow to this report and it is well

reflected in the photographs--such artful integration. I was also struck by the architecture of the bezel and its counterpoint with the lugs, this is most unusual and extremely subtle. I am not a big fan of time only watches, but I must admit the simplici...
