Thanks for the informative review and the stunning wristshots. The simplicity of the dails reminds me why I love ALS watches.

A visit at the Hausmann Boutique Via del Corso

Hausmann is a very prestigious dealer with 3 boutiques located in Rome. The history of this dealer started in 1794 when Giovanni Romano Ricci opened a workshop at the Piazza Colonna, in the Palazzo Piombino (the current location of the Galleria Alberto So...  

Thank you Xavier

Wow the Geande Arkade is stunning. Your pictures really show how BEEFY the case is. You have captured the depth in your images. Great job! Thank you for taking us on this tour. I am 10000000000% addicted to Lange now since owning the tz. I can't get enoug... 

Thanks a lot for your kind words!

And you know, I love to write about Lange! Fx

Kind of watches why I love ALS

I remember when I saw this Langematik family when I saw the black dial/RG watch of one of our friends. The micro rotor, the big date, the beauty of the dial .... It's a very appealing Lange and one of my favorite dressy ALS (maybe behind the RL though). T... 

Grand Arkade is so stunning!

Hi Xavier, I remember about 10 years ago, I didn't appreciate Cabaret, let alone Arkade (lady watch to me). Almost every Lange buyers in Malaysia just wanted to look at Lange 1. Of late, I realise that I overlook two (2) understated and special watches by... 

Thanks Ling!

You know, the Cabaret is maybe one of my fav watches of my collection... elegant and exclusive... Fx

I did not know the Grand Arkade (or the Arkade)

Yes, the Arkade or the Grand Arkade are not seen very often... I couldn't miss this opportunity! ;) fx

A very nice review. Beautiful photos of beautiful watches. I've always liked the Arcade but opted for the Cabaret since it was easier to find. Joseph

Thanks Joseph!

Me too, I'm a Cabaret owner and I can't agree more about the Cabaret! Fx ...  

Delicious!

Hey Xavier, In the presentation of things, those are some very fine courses! Thanks for allowing me to have a nibble. Tschuss Stephen

Thanks Stephen.

It was a big pleasure for me to see these 3 watches. Fx

My favorites are the Langematiks...

especially with the 3/4 rotor. It seems that only two contemporary models keep the 3/4 rotor, the Saxonia Annual calendar and the Langematik Perpetual... a shame. Thank you for the visit to Rome, fovesta.

Yes you are right.

 
 By: foversta : August 17th, 2012-09:15
Only the two calendar watches have kept the 3/4 rotor. Like you, I regret it. Fx

Stunning

I take the opportunity of my long awaited holidays to finally read some posts that I had missed and discover now only your very nice report about your visit at Hausmann. As we met beg. of July you told me about your visit to them but not about these beaut... 

Great store!

 
 By: patrick_y : August 26th, 2012-13:55
Great store, been to two of their stores; Via Del Corso and Via Condotti. An institution with some really interesting watches. Always worth a visit and multiple window stares whenever I'm in Rome.

I am afraid this page has been turned. Time will tell, but

At the exception of 2 or three releases these 10 last years, I didn't find anytthing very exciting from a brand which I consider with a lot of respect, and for which I have a lot of affection. The 2 models you show are, for me, more Lange than the very la...
