Lange & Sohne Richard Lange. The original, the first, the icon.

Too bad I didn't pay too much attention to that one as it is a true Lange, and a very nice one. A bit intellectual and sober, too. And the backside is just fantastic: Best, Nicolas ...  

I regret parting with mine

…who was a bit intellectual, sober, and had a fantastic backside. I regret having parted with her too.

LOL!

Same here. I regret that. She married someone, became a physician, a mother, and I think, quit her job to take care of the family. Looking back, I think she went for someone better (I can’t afford her)

I have bittersweet memories

 
 By: Cookies : September 3rd, 2022-07:36
I remember meeting her in Singapore after 10 years of not meeting. She drove her extremely large Volvo to fetch me, and brought me to Bob’s Bar at Capella. That was the last I saw of her. She was fiddling with my Reverso Grande Reserve that day, curious a... 

sad story. Capella rattan lying sofa and sunset is special place

May the universe brings you both back together in happiness.

Great watch indeed

Beauty, simplicity, legibility and precision encapsulated in platinum case. Cheers, Tee ...

Nice! 👍

What do you think about the newer one i.e. the one with blue hands?

Platinum beauty!

I am a big fan. I tried on the WG brother years back and felt at 40.5 it was a little big for what I thought it should be. ...  

Yes. Always smitten by that one.

Gorgeous piece

It happened so quickly. How good company makes time pass. Did u see my post on Deployant. It is a small interview I wrote and my buddy posted it there.

Heeheehee

I miss Singapore for the watch enthusiasts. Here I only have Andrea (the boutique manager of Chopard) and another owner of a major watch boutique (though she denies it, her surname is on the Boutique) as friends to talk to about watches.

Austere in a beautiful way.

No, no, just pefect!

A very underrated piece, especially compared to the competition

 
 By: vitalsigns : September 4th, 2022-02:46
But this seems to be a Lange that everyone loves and respects but never buys (me included). Secondary prices are great values. The watch is perhaps somewhat dressy. If it came with stick markers for hours it would be more appealing as so many buyers like ... 

Roman indexes

Roman indexes replicates ALS observatory pocket watch from the old days. Sleeper now but best time will come to show greatness it deserves.

Well said, mon ami.

I tried this one in platinum early this year

 
 By: bsandovalb : September 13th, 2022-15:54
and was impressed by its pure beauty. Having seeing it in the flesh makes me believe pictures never reveal how incredible it is. The dial´s color against the case´s is just simply perfect. I was between this one and the 5110g... pulled the trigger on the ... 

oh yes!... I think I did right :)

 
 By: bsandovalb : September 13th, 2022-21:38
But the RL has it´s own for sure :P

Por supuesto!
