I think I know the owner of this Duometre, too. :)
When I typed these words, I was thinking about the Duometre, indeed.
What I meant was that AT LEAST the color code could be different, and if the shape of the hands are, too, it is even better, of course.
The Duometre à Chronograph is one of the nicest example of a perfect integration of a Chronograph in a watch.
While on other Chronographs, the Chrono function is secondary ( small subdials, not often easily legible ), on the Duometre, the Chrono is as important as the time.
Best, Damien.

During the traditional holiday season navel gazing, it dawned on me that the chrono minute hands of Lange chronographs are lance shaped like the hour and minute hand, and do not have the diamond-shaped extended counter balance or tail (please excuse the v...
I much prefer when the color code is different for the time and the chrono functions.
The outcome is much more legible, indeed. Thanks for having made me notice that! Best, Nicolas.
Hi Nicolas
Not just the color code but also the shape of the hands. Here's another example of color coding but not hands. I found this photo taken by foversta which shows the contrast between the 1815 and the Duometre chronos. The Duometre I believe belongs to a per...

agree that a clear color design is better
but then I love blue hands so I am glad the Datograph has two. Interestingly, I have seen two examples of early (I think) Datos that had both of the small blued hands with the damond-shaped counterweights, so they were identical in the two subdials. I won...
Is that a Pisa Datograph?
Is the last picture of the Pisa Datograph? All of these watches are fantastic works of art.
If I remember well...
The Double-Split is the only Lange chronograph wich uses couterweight for its minute hands. It is due to the split minutes specificity (two hands on the same dial) and the need to enhance the readability of both. All other Lange chronographs don't have it...
