What would you chose and why?

Jan 30, 2017,09:02 AM
 

Hi all, now the SIHH is over, I would like to hear your thoughts on two of the new releases plus one from the current collection. I choose these become I think they all look amazing and the price points should be close (I'm not too certain).

If you had to choose one, which one and why?
1. 1815 Annual calendar
2. Lange 1 moon phase (black dial)
3. Saxonia Annual calendar

I'm not a current owner of ALS and don't know too much about their different models, so please feel free to share, thanks

It is impossible to go wrong with a Lange..

 
 By: Thomahof : January 30th, 2017-09:16
But most Lange guys have an affinity for the L1 series, then the Dato/1815 chrono and finally Zeitwerk. So of these, the L1 for sure. I very happy with the no-moon though! ...  

Call me crazy (and please forgive me in advance, Lange lovers)...

... but I prefer Lange watches without the oversized date. Nothing wrong with size of the date and the watches look all beautiful. What bothers me a bit is to have the empty date window between days 1 to 9 every month. The new 1815 AC looks breathtaking t... 

I have a follow up question

Thank you all for your advice. I\'m not in a hurry to make a purchase, the new models won\'t be out in a while anyway too. So I\'ll definitely try them on first. So I also checked the price of the L1 moon phase and the 1815 annual calendar, and noticed th... 

I was looking into get getting the L1 moonphase

like you when I saw the price, the Annual calendar 1815 seems more value for money. how they came out with the price is anybody's guess? perhaps they think the L1 will sell more hence the higher price?

1815 AC preference.

 
 By: Ulises : February 1st, 2017-11:33
The factory told me that the white gold 1815 AC recommended price included VAT is I prefer this model over the Saxonia AC, so I will wait for it until next fall.

All are great watches [nt]

But for my first Lange, I would go for L1 moonphase. By the way, I chose the L1 Timezone. Aris

Pick the one that sings to you the most.

Lange 1 moon phase (black dial) [nt]

try them on first

 
 By: COUNT DE MONET : January 30th, 2017-13:22
from rhe horological point of view they are all outstanding pieces of engineering.

What's the point of the pusher at 2 on the 1815 cal?

Does it advance all settings in one push ? Curious to know Cheers

The L1 MP Black Dial without any doubt

 
 By: Maltie : January 30th, 2017-18:12
The black dial is awesome with the contrast of the blue sky of the MP. A true iconic Lange IMHO. The Saxonia Annual Calender would be next for me, pure Saxonia with a very legible AC dial and nice blue hands. I find the 1815 AC the least appealing and wou... 

L1 MP. [nt]

 
 By: fernando : January 30th, 2017-20:18

While the L! is iconic, I would pick the Saxonia annual calendar...

 
 By: SRG : January 30th, 2017-20:23
I just like the layout of the dial and colors on that one more than the others (But I do have the older Lange One moon phase in RG).

I would go for the Lange 1 mp..

 
 By: yming : January 31st, 2017-06:51
I kinda like the mp plus day-nite indicator.. but suggest that you try all watches in the metal.. some say the new mp could look abit boring in the day, I m not sure.. Personally I find the 1815 annual cal aesthetically too busy.. But it's curious that bo... 

Another vote for the L1MP

 
 By: Rhyzen : January 31st, 2017-07:09
Simply because it is so pretty!

L1 MP closely followed by Sax AC

 
 By: NT931 : February 1st, 2017-14:35
The MP looks dead brilliant with the black dial on WG. The Sax AC closely behind as I love it\'s blued hands and balanced dial. The 1815 AC third because I\'m not too fond of the dial layout which is less balanced than the Sax AC. But I\'d suggest you try... 

The L1MP without any hesitation

 
 By: foversta : February 7th, 2017-12:47
Because it is an icon and it is the most beautiful of the selection... Fx

The L1MP is nice but..

unless you go to sleep late or else you won't see the stars in the background? What time does the stars start to appear in the background ?
