I definitely prefer this one to the the dato, it is a pure chrono and much more wearable since its perfect dimensions. This version for me is the best, the blue hands on the white dial are really to die for
Movement wise as always Lange gives its best through the caseback, one could spend hours starring at it.
You made a great choice with this watch IMHO.
Best.
1815 Chrono Gen II:
Hi all, Thought I\'d post some pics of my 1815 chrono for no particularly good reason I was, and remain, a big fan of this reference. Slim, white dial, and blue hands make for an attractive package, although it can be seen as a bit too sober. The Dato is ...
Splendid shots and sweet memories related to this timepiece. Easy to understand why you want to keep it
I owned the pink gold version (white dial) few years ago but I didn't keep it. First, I'm not really a chrono guy fan and I needed cash to finance another Lange. Enjoy and wear yours in the best of your health. Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks Alkiro!
I definitely like manual wind chronos, and would like to add more. Only problem is the nice ones are not cheap!
Your front-on movement shot is top top drawer.
wonderful watch and even more special when so many good memories are attached to it.
Congratulations, again, Willis, on your new "edition"!
That watch will have to stay with you with all the emotions tied up in it. And it's an easy one to want to keep.
Great pic of the whole movement!
So this could/should be the generational watch, from father to son; it would be just right. 😀
In my opinion
one of the best finished chronograph movements in the market. Wearing it on your wedding day means this watch should always be a part of you
A more perfect watch I doubt there is...
It gets no better than this one. Nothing to change about it!
".... sometimes the memories attached to watches become more important than the watch itself"
Very well said and I couldn't agree more! I see the 1815 chrono on your son's wrist eventually. God bless!
First photo is the best, and I will give you my reasoning!!!
We all know how exquisite Lange's movements are, they are the best in the business. However, IMO, what often gets overlooked is the dial side, especially on the 1815 range. I believe it is because these pictures are hard to take, and unless you have held ...
Thank you Imran.
The first photo is also my favorite, in large part due to the reasons you mention.
Such a great, versatile piece.
Congrat's on your newborn son. The 1815 Chrono will be a wonderful heirloom for him. Cheers, John
Memories
The memories you have associated with this watch are invaluable indeed. Enjoy
Memories and experiences are definitely more valuable than material possessions.
Having said that, material goods also have their fun place
I have the same thought.
No point replacing just for replacement's sake; only worth it if substantial progress is made.
Superb pictures, Willski and the reason you chose to wear this watch in 2 most important events in your life says it all 👍🏻👏🏻.
I'm also very tempted to get a nice mechanical Chrono but just cannot decide which one to get. This one speaks to me a lot, if only it comes in Pt...but it will conflict with the Dato. Thanks for sharing these nice photos. Rgds Raymond ...
Thanks Raymond!
You definitely should get a mechanical chronology - the "glass city" on the backside are a joy to examine. The boutique edition is good looking, and the new WG/black dial is a stunner as well. Also, there's always the Dato!
Breathtaking.
I'm definitely saving up for the 1815 Boutique edition. I was on the fence between the VC Cornes de Vache and the 1815 but the Lange movement is breathtaking.
Thank you! The L951 movement is indeed a beauty.
The Cornes de Vache is also a great chrono, but I also have a preference for the 1815. Having said that, I saw pictures of a bespoke CdV (I think belonging to Wei Koh) that were really stunning.
Also
Congrats on the birth of your son - you should certainly pass this on to him when the time comes.
Beautiful pics of a beautiful watch!
I love the clean look of the dial -- the fact that it's not at all busy. I hope you continue to enjoy it!
Thanks CR!
The simple front and business backside were a big part of the attraction for me.
Great shots!
I have thought about flipping my 1815 Chrono for other watches. But like you I have a sentimental attachment to it. And even to this day I am always blow away every time I look at the movement.
Either you took these photos when the watch was brand new or you take extraordinarily good care of your watches...
Either way the photos are sublime! And congrats on all fronts... Cheers, Kamy
Hi Kamy.
Many thanks! The 1815 is over 3 years old (or young) now. My bracelet and sports watches have actually taken many beatings and are 'well loved'...but for some reason my strap watches have fared a lot better. I hope I didn't jinx myself here!
I definitely prefer this one to the the dato, it is a pure chrono and much more wearable since its perfect dimensions. This version for me is the best, the blue hands on the white dial are really to die for

Keep it forever
1815 Chrono is gorgeous. IMHO it is not worth it to trade it with Dato except the Double Split.
Thanks Gelato Monster.
The Dato and DS are true Lange icons...it's a silver lining for me that the DS is way too big and hence off any potential wish list!
