Just because: Five Minutes with a Platinum Datograph
Aug 10, 2012,16:07 PM
Been about six months now.
Of all the watches I've had on my wrist, this is the one that has, by far, not only met expectations but exceeded them, and continues to do so.
Used to hang around here quite a bit back in the Days When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth. Back then never thought I'd ever get any major wrist time with something like this. Glad it happened, and even more glad to find that in this case, it's better than I ever could have dreamed.
I mean, Lange, they're still . . . serious.

Specially in this first version, Jack. ;)

The Platinum Dato is a feast for the senses. It is a watch to be " felt ", to fully appreciate it. Its flaws are its strenghts. A milestone in the category of fine Chronos. Best, Nicolas
Very well put

"its flaws are its strength" - that is exactly it. Best Andreas
Isn't this what makes things 'classics'?

A high level of design, execution and performance, all important for sure, but perfection soon gets boring. All these little quirks and idiosyncrasies are the ingredients of pieces that constitute the collective history in watchmaking. Congratulation Jack...
VERY serious!

If I ever get what it needs (money - in this case) to buy a watch from the pinnacle of Haute Horlogerie , it will be a Lange. Congratulations!
A terrific piece...

That shows Langes abilities. It is THE perfect chronograph. Wear it in good health!
Fantastic Watch

. . . it is an enormously satisfying watch to wear --even after daily exposure for many months, I can definitely say it just doesn't get old. Every time I put it on there is a particular feeling of satisfaction --I don't know, maybe it has something to do...
I can see your point on the almost fanatical approach to quality by Lange

Makes one feels special, both intellectually and spiritually, when one puts on the Datograph. Acrtually, I am writing this whilst still in Germany, and just having seen what Lange's expansion plans are, and seeing for myself how dedicated the folks are, b...
