Proportions...

I really love the Wempe GLG (Grosse Langematik Gangreserve)! All 3 metals are beautiful. I own the PT version, but I think the YG version is a bit more attractive. The proportions of this watch are difficult to appreciate unless you see it in person, but the diameter-to-thickness ratio is just perfect.


Several years ago, I was invited to a Patek event along with two other local collectors (who are also Purist regulars). I've never owned a Patek, so I ended up wearing a Lange to this event. My two friends decided to wear Langes as well, and we coordinated our efforts so we could take this photo below (which I've posted before but am happy to have an excuse to repost!).

It's a wonderful coincidence that among the 3 of us, we collectively owned all 3 metals (RG left, PT center, YG right).

The Langematik for Wempe, I could see it in platinum, and in rose gold, but in yellow gold, never! A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see one and to photograph it, thanks to NinoItaliano. Issued in these three versions in 2005, curiously in a limit...  

Wempe does have the best LEs. I love the 1815 sidestep as well.

Obviously better than the bucherer blue versions that are currently on the market. I must say that i havent seen this LE often so far. Thanks for sharing!

Pleasure, Fx. [nt]

I wish they made this watch as a manual wind. Reminds me a Lange marine chronometer from WWII that I once had in the collection. Kind regards, Dan
