Isn't this what makes things 'classics'?
A high level of design, execution and performance, all important for sure, but perfection soon gets boring. All these little quirks and idiosyncrasies are the ingredients of pieces that constitute the collective history in watchmaking.
Congratulation Jack on this piece!

Just because: Five Minutes with a Platinum Datograph
Been about six months now. Of all the watches I've had on my wrist, this is the one that has, by far, not only met expectations but exceeded them, and continues to do so. Used to hang around here quite a bit back in the Days When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth...
Specially in this first version, Jack. ;)
The Platinum Dato is a feast for the senses. It is a watch to be " felt ", to fully appreciate it. Its flaws are its strenghts. A milestone in the category of fine Chronos. Best, Nicolas
Specially when you see the new one, which wants to be too perfect.
So perfect that it is boring, IMO. Best, Nicolas

VERY serious!

A terrific piece...
That shows Langes abilities. It is THE perfect chronograph. Wear it in good health!
Still the pinnacle of chronographs, Jack
Congratulations on this one and enjoy every moment. Andrew
This watch deserves B&W treatment for sure.
Very nice pictures Jack, thanks. And I won't have any difficulties in agreeing with you. Cheers, Mark
Absolutely agree with your last statement
Hey Jack, Glad to see you here. Lange, they have, and will always be serious, about crafting the best watches on Earth. Enjoy yours , from now till perpetuality, Stephen
Dinosaurs are ruling The Earth again
so please hang around here more ...again. :) I just started posting after lurking when you ruled ;) Thank you for your input Best Damjan
Hi Jack, that is a marvel of the watchmaking.
Not many watch lovers can say no to this watch. Regards Ling
Thanks everyone . . .
. . . it is an enormously satisfying watch to wear --even after daily exposure for many months, I can definitely say it just doesn't get old. Every time I put it on there is a particular feeling of satisfaction --I don't know, maybe it has something to do...
I can see your point on the almost fanatical approach to quality by Lange
Makes one feels special, both intellectually and spiritually, when one puts on the Datograph. Acrtually, I am writing this whilst still in Germany, and just having seen what Lange's expansion plans are, and seeing for myself how dedicated the folks are, b...
