Richard Lange Pour Le Metre as it was released in both platinum and rose gold in limited editions at the same time. A few years later to release the white gold and black dial (non enamel) seemed unfair. 


With the triple split I think it was easier to predict future versions. This grail movement was going to see other metal options. I don’t mean to offend any triple split owners. I think other brands do this year after year. The smartest and fairest solution would be to release all case metals and dial options for limited editions the same year even if it would take a couple years to manufacture them. I think we as collectors have to expect a future iteration at some point before buying. Don’t get me wrong I agree with you. I think/hope the original white gold triple split owners are still happy and will do well if they choose to move on. It’s such a marvel.

PS: I included your pictures in the original post and picked the triple split for the front page, but let me know if you want the thoughtful baby back ;-)

Great choices!

To my mind it was just a matter of time until they released another run in another metal. I would not be surprised if they do it again one last time. It will still be a low number total. Good news is my strong guess is next year or maybe for 2023 they rel...

Two excellent choices. And about the engravings just pick something that means a lot for both of you and keep it private.

Thanks!

Congratulations! The TS is really the pinnacle of the art of the chronograph. You will enjoy it very much. Here is mine: ...  

I have a collection of around 10 watches, which I tend to rotate every few days.

I think the TS is in my top 2 or 3 in terms of wrist time. So on average around 5-6 days a month, maybe. It is fairly confortable to wear during the day, but I tend to take it off in the evening (at home) a bit earlier than lighter pieces. It is a fairly ...
