I’ve admired several Lange pieces over the years, especially from the back. IMO the craftsmanship of the Datograph and Zeitwerk deliver an irresistible combination of precision, engineering and art. But on my wrist they felt a bit thick and unbalanced. The thinner Lange options are tempting pieces, but lacked that special caseback “little city” allure. An exception is the RL PLM, which is in a class by itself with that incredible fusée-and-chain mechanism.
But ultimately I decided I wanted something more than a time-only piece, and I’m a big chronograph fan, so the 1815 Chronograph was in that sweet spot. I considered the different versions, but once I tried on the third generation boutique edition the decision was easy. It’s not a thin watch, but it’s really a pleasure to wear, and in addition to the beauty of the movement it has proven to be very accurate.
