Lange Trinity Assembled. What could be the fourth?
Hi everyone, I've managed to assemble my very own Lange trinity and am in love with each of them!! At the same time, I'm curious what you think could be a fourth to complement these if I could have room for one more? ...
Not shabby at all
I keep thinking that if I were to reacquire an 1815 (I've since traded away the one shown here) it'd have to be one of these older 36mm platinum models.
Likeminded, apparently.
I keep wondering why, if they could locate the subdials so as not to intrude on the hour numerals on the 36mm models, they couldn't manage it on the 39mm dial. Granted, it's a small point, but decisive for me, even despite the movement upgrades on the new...
Not decisive for me
You point to a sin on the larger dial, but I think the 36mm version's dial commits two sins that the 39mm avoids. 1. The word 'gangreserve' running outside the subdial looks weird. They were right to remove it on the 39mm. 2. The chapter ring is set wayyy...
As per the immortal closing line of Some Like It Hot, "Nobody's Perfect!"
In the end, we accept the flaws that we can tolerate. I think that goes as well for watches, friends, and even partners.
First thing that came to my mind was the RG Double split.
Size could be an issue with it, but otherwise an astonishing watch. Also, it‘s more of a logical evolution for me, looking at your collection. If you‘re looking for some contrast to add, it would not be the right choice.
My pleasure👍🏻
I do think so, it would make a perfect foursome, given that you like colored gold and clear dials. I'm sure that you would find the perfect strap to make the quartet even more special 😉
I'd pass on the Zeitwerk if you plan on wearing it regularly...
The ZW as a special occasion watch is great, but as a 2-3 day a week regular watch is quite painful. It's difficult to wind, it's very thick, very heavy (especially in platinum, although still very heavy in rose gold), and the winding is so difficult that...
Seems you like colored metals so with those 3, I would add a Zeitwerk in Honeygold or a Richard Lange Pour le Merite in RG with white enamel dial...
So essentially you would have the 3 modern icons from Lange, a Lange 1 (moonphase in your case), a Datograph, and a Zeitwerk. If you add a Richard Lange Pour le Merite, that would be another modern legend from Lange 😉👍
Whatever you choose... I am looking forward to your strap choice!!!!
Love your combos; I love uniquely colored gators. Who is the maker of these?
