Platinum Premium
Am curious how a platinum watch is still commanding such a premium over 18k gold. Nine months ago when gold was $1,000 an ounce and platinum was approaching $2,100 an ounce it made some sense. But as of today, gold is $860 and platinum is $927 an ounce. There was a time a few weeks ago when gold actually surpassed platinum. So do you guys still think that platinum watches will still be priced almost double that of gold watches?
The new 1815 range - a press kit group shot (wallpaper-size)
G'day, the new 1815 seems to be universally appreciated - hence a press kit group shot and an interesting detail may be too: It´s MUCH more beautiful in the metal, therefore all signs indicate Lange to have another champion here! Not the least due to it´s...
question for you
the lange sight states the watch is 40mm in diameter. i wonder how if looks in the metal at that size. its quite the jump from the 35.5 of the previous 1815. your thoughts would be much appreciated . cheers and thanks for the post kevin
Let me try to answer ...
The size of the new 1815 is: 40 x 8,9 mm Yes, it is a big step, but don´t forget about the new/bigger movement. To me it looks quite good (from the pictures). RL is 40,5 x 10,6 mm, Lange 1 is 38,5 mm and a bit higher, .... Most Lange´s are well balanced. ...
I will do my report tomorrow.
Don't worry, you will have the usual wristshots. I've just come back from Geneva, I'm exhausted. Fr.Xavier
"interesting detail" Indeed ...
sounds fair to me. Any idea about the price for PT? Thanks for the good news Peter. Oliver

Hi tsolimine,
welcome in the forum There is a huge difference in working with platinum compared to gold. The effort is much higher. I saw it at the Patek manufactory and was really impressed. Couldn´t believe it until I saw it with my eyes. For example: One had to poli...
