Watches and Wonders 2022: Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Minute Repeater.

 
 By: amanico : May 20th, 2022-14:57
The Richard Lange line certainly is one of my favorites among the different Lange & Sohne families. The first Richard Lange, classic, simple, beautiful, then the Richard Lange Pour Le Mérite, with its hidden sophistication ( fusée and chan, enamel dial ) ...  

Remarkably thin and an interesting and useful...

...inventions. But platinum is usually not considered ideal for a repeater case. I wonder why they didn't go with a different metal...

A stunning piece.

First of all thanks for the wonderful update.

What amazes me most is how it’s so unassuming from the dial side and when you turn it over you see a powerhouse of a time piece

My kind of watch.

Yep.

Thanks for the additional photos and info!

Love this one! As others have said, so simple and clean and yet hiding an amazing complication. The local boutique told me they're getting one this year and it's already spoken for (by someone with a much much larger watch budget than me 😂).

Another impeccable piece and great horological accomplishment for Lange.

Lange continues to affirm its proper place among the top Maisons of high horology.

Agreed.

Wow!

Dial side it reminds me of a 5078P, but the movement is pure Lange!

Yes, somehow, yes.

Beautiful watch: I like the “below the radar” approach, with only a small slider showing that you got something very special. Also the nearly “wet looking” aspect of the writing/inks on the dial makes it unique ❤️. You speak about regulator noise and if I...

Thanks for the explanations. my curiosity is triggered, will try to read more on the grail of watch making, i.e., repeaters. Cheers, Jerome

This is right up my alley as well! Thank you for the review!

Except for the price of course.

My pleasure, Darren.

Thank you for yet another interesting post.

This must be (without having seen it in real life) my favorite watch from Watches and Wonders. Very much "under the radar", and irresistably beautiful in it's visual simplicity. Sublime elegance!

Well said!

 
 By: amanico : May 21st, 2022-06:26

stunning timepiece no doubt but half a million ?!

I hope they launch this dial on a standard central seconds Richard Lange ! Best, mahesh.,

Hopefully Lange will create additional iterations in the future beyond the limited release of these 50 examples.

Yes, same hopes here.

Nico, thank you for this wonderful review.

I would love to hear the sound of this watch in different case metals as well, and the size is just right!

Thanks for commenting.
