All three winners to me!

1815 Thin in Honeygold with enamel dial=ultimate dress watch at 6.3mm thin with only 2 hands.
The Rattrapante! First black dial Honeygold Lange. First rattrapante only chrono. If only I had the means this would be at the top of my wish list.
No words for the Tourbograph. Speechless.

2020 Lange Novelties
By: patrick_y : September 8th, 2020-19:24
A. Lange & Søhne, the venerable German manufacturer of watches in Glashutte has announced their novelties for 2020. Three watches to choose from at three different price points. Limited to 175 pieces, permit me to introduce the 1815 THIN HONEYGOLD is a ti...
They are lovely...

I think it's a successful tribute. If $ is no object I will love to own all 3 but unfortunately it's always an object. The 1815 Thin is nice but too similar to my 1815 HG 200th Anniversary, although the enamel dial is tempting. I'm a little puzzle why the...

the 1815 ultra thin. I have just called the boutique to enquire about it and surprisingly, they will only be receiving one piece. I think at 38mm in diameter and 6.3mm thick, it would make an excellent dress watch and blend well with my small collection o...
Thanks Patrick!

I did own the 1815. moonphase once and I have since sold it. Somehow moonphases I have realised do not appeal to me as much as a simple dress watch.
All three are highly desirable
By: samwan : September 8th, 2020-21:12
but unfortunately I have no more kidneys to sell... These pieces are winners at the pinnacle of fine German watchmaking. The ultra-thin is classy, the Rattrapante innovative and the Tourbograph is the best one of its kind to-date. Best Sam
I’m with sam on this

Thought of selling my liver but don’t think it’s worth much 🤪

The 1815 Rattrapante and the Tourbograph PLM PC come with 18mm deployants. It's unclear if the latter is the heavier, detachable style that comes with the Lange 31 and Terraluna. In any case, it appears that Lange is now making at least one type of 18mm d...
6.3mm

0.4mm thicker than the Saxonia thin due to the enamel dial.
If the 1815 Rattrapante was in platinum I would be haunted.
By: emcquillan : September 8th, 2020-23:00
Or, perhaps an eggshell colour dial with the honey gold. Not convinced of the honey gold case and black dial combination, but so hard to tell in these press photos. If it was in platinum I would be obsessed and thinking about what to sell to help fund the...
If you watched the video

You can see the relief/applied numerals markings along the circumference of the dial in the tourb! Quite amazing detail.
I’m really loving the 175th anniversary models

If money isn’t a constrain and size didn’t matter, then the tourbograph has to be the one. But because both of these are actual constrains, the 1815 Thin HG is the one for me. I find it pretty special...although it looks kinda normal at first sight.
Looking normal isn't a bad thing!
By: patrick_y : September 11th, 2020-11:13
I like this model as well. But I bet I'd still defer to the 1815 Moonphase in honey gold if I had a direct comparison. For a "thin" watch the 1815 Thin isn't that thin.
Patrick, I suspect you might be right
By: Mr.Gatsby : September 13th, 2020-03:14
I would like to think from a value perspective the moonphase ref. 212.50 (I believe this is the one you’re referring to?) trumps the 1815 thin and is a better buy in terms of complication, price, etc. However I believe the 1815 thin also has some very goo...
Yes! That one! 212.050
By: patrick_y : September 13th, 2020-15:22
The 1815 Thin definitely has a lot of good qualities! Slightly lower production numbers. The enamel dial is nice, but the guilloche dial of the 1815 Moonphase is nice too. The 212.050 also has a Honey Gold balance cock in the movement! Which is very diffi...
