The 1815 Chrono is one of the best mechanical Chronos in the market, IMO…

Size is right and movement is stunning.


So these are currently available at your AD since it’s their inventory and ready for purchase? 

There’s been quite a stir and a few rounds of controversial discussions that such complication pieces will become application only but I guess it doesn’t apply if the piece is already with AD.

I would go for 1815 Chrono vs Lange 1 if it’s available…but it’s just me.

Happy deciding.

I definitely need a Lange in my life 🤤

I tried these two a few days ago and really loving them. The Lange 1 looked a hair small initially, but really loved it on my wrist. I kind of similar feeling as with the Patek 5110. I also tried a Grand Lange 1 moonphase on but seemed a bit too large and...  

Both look amazing!

The Chrono is indeed very special

Yes, they were both available ar my AD. I was actually surprised by the amount of watches on display: Zeitwerk, also 1815 Chrono in yellow and pink gold, Datogtaph Perpetual, new L1 Timezone, and many others.

Great options

I think that L1 looks stellar on your wrist. I thought it may be a bit small as well, but it wears perfectly on my 7.5 inch wrist.

Thanks a lot!

Indeed a tad small, but lovely 🤤

1815 looks best in your wrist...

Just my opinion.

I think I agree with you 😊

And I also think that I'm loving smaller watches more and more recently. Thanks!

That’s my favorite version of the 1815.

Looks great on your wrist!

Mine too 😉

Both are very nice!

Between the 2 I will pick 1815 chrono. For Lange 1s I prefer the other versions not the white gold one which has lume hands which I feel don't fit Lange 1's dial very well. Cheers Robin

Thanks Robin!

I fully understand you, but the L1 is somehow calling me louder. I'm a practical guy, and the date and power reserve are both kind of my thing. Same with the lume, very practical. Although my favorite combo at the moment is white gold + black dial, only a... 

+1 to the Chrono - iconic piece

The Lange 1 comes in a multitude of colorways and sizes — is this your favorite combo size and color? It’s is an emblem of the brand!

Thanks Jim!

I love the WG-White dial version, but not my preferred one nowadays. Due to other similar combos in my current collection, I'd go for something different. Ideally, WG-Black dial, but I could even try ping or yellow gold to add some diversity.

We all need 1

Cheers to that! 🥂

Both are beautiful in their own way. But I personally chose the 1815 Chronograph.

My aging eyes read the time easier, it’s arguably the best functioning flyback chronograph, and that backside view is all Datograph without the added heft.

I cannot disagree 😉

👍🏻😉

Thanks buddy 🤗

 
 By: 1WatchMan : May 5th, 2021-22:32
Lange chronographs are something else, but I think I prefer to start with a L1.

Thanks Doc!

Let's see where this Lange journey takes me...

Yeah, I also love chronos!

But it will depend on the intended use, as I like to have the date on the watches I wear daily to work.
