fed veal? LOL... Only in Japan do they go into such details. Must have been yummy. Thanks for the report buddy. When are your watches coming? Sorry I know I must have asked you the same question a hundred times. What number did you get for the PLM again? Urayamashiiiiiiiii!

Lange Zeitwerk, in the metal so to speak...
Guten abend my fellow Lange PuristS! I trust you all are having a perfect evening this Monday! I have just returned from the Zeitwerk event, and it was indeed a superb evening! I had heaps of fun, and will share with you all the photos that I have taken t...
Fantastic and intriguing report, Stephen
The images of the pocket watch grandfather to the Zeitwerk are very interesting to see. I had no idea iot had been produced more than 100 years ago. Is there nothing new under the sun? Also good to see the earlier prototypes for the new Z. I have to admit...
You are correct Respo!
I was very much touched too with the fact that there was a Zeitwerk from Lange that many ages ago! The dessert was good indeed! I particularly enjoyed the numbers! I hope that i was able to allow you to be part of the event, even though through photos onl...
i'v always loved Langes Pink Panther!
They were my 1st love in the fine world of haute horlogerie! Cheers Stephen
WOOOOOW!!!
Thank you soooo much, what an amazing report!!! My fave is the rg RL pour le merite... and I'm not an rg guy... but that is Goooorgeous...
Well, what are you waiting for then!
There are still some RG RL PLM left from what I know! Here's a toast to you joining the ultimate " Marine Chronometer for the Wrist" Club! Cheers! Stephen

Indeed buddy!
Isn't that why we both are gaga over this land! But you got the upper hand man! Your lady is a native from here! Heck, i don't even have a companion mate! But i do get the watches! LoL! Ok , just for you then, here's a lowdown of what's coming: RL PLM, no...
Can I trade
my lady for the three watches then? LOL.. KIDDING! Keiko will so kill me if she sees this. Yea, I've been on car forums more nowadays ... Learning more about my ride and generally having fun with the car. I'm sending the car for MTM Stage 1 tune up next w...
LoL, i think i'll stick with my end of the bargain!
It's great to hear you enjoying your Audi Ian, well to each his own! I was talking to the head of PR yesterday at the show, and i asked him what car would be the most "Lange" car if there was one, and he proved my guess to be true, it's the Audi A8/ S8 ! ...
A handsome man with a handsome watch :-)
Stephen, you should really get he Lange Zeitwerk, I think it looks great on you. Cheers, CL
Yay....This one is sooooooo NICE
I like it the first time I saw the picture.....and then I just LOVE It the next day. It's like URWERK and MBFkinda 'strange' but make by Lange with Fusee Chain and super finishing.....how to beat that ??? I'm happy for you. Cheers, CL
Danke Schon CL!
Are you referring to the PLM though? Because the Zeitwerk does not have the Fusee & chain mechanism! But in any case, since i'm getting both, well well you put it just perfectly! Thank you very much! Stephen
Sorry...I mean REMONTOIRE :-)
Remontoire and Fusee Chian have kinda the same function......and both are old school technique and craft. So for the Zeitwerk to be so progressive looking and yet paying homage to the Sempra Opera Clock PLUS Remontoire movement, this is just simply Perfec...
Das ist rechtig!
Indeed, just as you have pointed it out, so many others have too! The RL PLM with the Fusee & Chain, and the Zeitwerk with the remontoir, both represent classic traditions, with the highest finish that can be seen in the watch industry. On one hand, the o...
Trust me.....I'm very tempted
But I have to behave for a while after getting the PLM Tourbillon and I have yet tried it on my wrist. I have this thing about round watches over 40mm on my wrist. I tried RL before and it doesn't look elegant on me. It works for others who have thin wris...
That is unfortunate to hear...
You are the opposite of me! For me , i don't do under 40mm! Well, in any case, you'v got a superb piece there yourself! Did you get the tourbillion PLM in Platinum? Cheers Stephen
No...for the PLM tourbillon,
I prefer the YG, more traditional. For the RL PLM, I prefer the Platin and for the ZeitWerk, I like both WG and Platin...
An excellent masterpiece you have there!
Great in any metal, and your personal choices are wonderful too! Wear your piece in good health always! Cheers Stephen
My friend....
Will there be such events during my stay ? Thanks for your detailed report! Ken
AFAIK Ken, there is nothing else coming up...
Sorry that you missed it! But well, you are coming for a wonderful watch yourself! Good to know! Hope to see you then! Stephen
Yes, another big thanks for me
for an inspiring report and an inspiring passion for Lange and high horology.
My highest pleasure to bring this to you!
I do hope it was good, but my apologies for the quality of the photos, most of them aren't very good, but i'm not very good at photography, so please understand! Cheers Stephen
Great report Stephen.............
Thoroughly enjoyed looking at all the photos, especially of the pocket watch that started it all off, 100 years ago. The Lange 31 looks like one very BIG watch, especially when on the wrist and it seems to me that the Zeitwerk is not too far behind it!!
It sure is...
But at 45.9mm in diameter, i still say they could have made it bigger! ( I am personally biased to giant watches you see!) They are all just right for me! Love it all! Glad you enjoyed the coverage! Stephen
Thanks, Stephen. Looks like you had a great time too.
I loved all the pics. It's really nice since you certainly took a lot more than I. I am sure you are excited to get all those lucky 7 beauties that will be arriving throughout the year. I'd love to go to your showing too!! Will it be by invitation only?? ...
Dou itashimashite Ron san!
I'm sure you had a great time too! It would indeed be my pleasure to get to meet you one day! Maybe we should arrange to meet at the boutique one day soon! Congratulations once again in getting your 1st Lange, whatever it is, i'm sure it's perfect! Cheers...
Would be fun.....
so after a little while, PM me and let's see if we can get our schedules to work. Ron
Thanks a LOT for sharing...
Your enthusiasm and happiness most certainly bubbles over onto your actual report. I think that makes reading this write up such a nice and happy one to be a part of. Congrats on your upcoming pieces and can't wait to see those too!! Thanks again for shar...
As always Rob, you know me!
Especially when the party deals with my absolutely most favourite watch marque in the world! I only wish that I could do better, BUT, i'm not a photographer! Cheers Stephen
Great post, Stephen!
It looks like you had a fantastic time with the folks at Lange. They've made some of the most incredible watches of recent years IMO. I thought the photos of the Zeitwerk concept art were fascinating and really showcased the evolution of the timepiece's d...
Danke Daos!
Did you have a wonderful birthday celebration as well? I have full confidence that Lange will continue to impress all of us for a long time to come! I look forward with zest to my pieces arriving soon too! Cheers Stephen
Glad to hear that then Daos!
My pleasure indeed, anytime, all the time! Tschuss Stephen
Great photos of the RL PLM dial construction - love it.
What a great watch. Thanks for the report. Andrew H
No worries Andrew!
It's rare to see you here on the ALS forum, glad to see you here then! Cheers Stephen
Great Event!
Great photos Stephen! I especially appreciated the photos of the enamel dial; as it illustrates clearly the three individual pieces pieced together. Beautiful food, and fantastic dessert with fantastic company. I really liked the Zeitwerke dessert! And I ...
Sure was!
The dessert was indeed nice, I do love the jelly with the numerals on them, they tasted unique! The Zeitwerk is fascinating, and I'v already made up my decision a while back to get it (plus i managed to get my number this time as well), so all the more re...
Wow!
Lucky you! Would loved to be part of that event. Thanks a lot for sharing. I am sure you all had a fantastic time. Beautiful timepieces, delicious food and inetresting people to share some passion. Thanks! Vte
