Lovely post of a lovely piece.

Definitely an extraordinary watch hidden behind so pure and elegant design. Like everyone here I am also following your posts with a big interest and discovering that we have similar tastes in some places especially as an owner of a Datograph, Grande Reverso Ultra thin Bleu and Lang & Heyne F III, besides some Patek Philippe references. And here in this post I see that one of my dreams ,VC Les historiques chronograph in salmon dial is also one of your your favorites. I was lucky enough to find and try it in one of my visits to Paris  in a well known seller Antoine De Macedo. And lastly, related with the common tastes, I read your article about 3970P few days ago. there you mentioned you will say few words about 5970 comparison too. Actually in any horological gatherings I always mention that PP 5970 is my grail. Although there are more complicated or much better finished pieces, 5970 always stays on top for me. Dream is WG with salmon dial (London edition) but hope that reality will be 5970J.  And will be waiting for your article about it with comparison 5004.

All the best and cheers.

Kerem

It seems that we have very close tastes in watches, Kerem. Definitely. This Langematik Anniversary is stuck on my wrist for almost 3 weeks! As for the 5970, I am studying the possibility to get one... Thanks! [nt]

Great story my friend

For me, the Langematuk anniversary & the 1815 MO Emil Lange would be a superb duo. Absolutely brilliant piece 😍😍😍 And i hope you will find justice for this issue very soon, my friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾 Cheers

Thanks for your kind words, my dear friend. Let's keep fingers crossed! [nt]

Here’s mine for your viewing pleasure

Bought it from a friend in Europe around 2002; he wore it once and put it away; didn’t like the red XII ( can you believe it!!) sold it to me at a significant discount from the original sale price. I guess that’s what they call a lucky break. It’s a keepe...  

And you did very well! It is on my wrist for one month, now, and my heart is bleeding at the idea to give it back to its owner. [nt]

Gorgeous watch

One of the best looking watches ever produced. The red strap is a nice alternative to the black.

Agreed on the red strap, but you get rid of it quite quickly, though. As for the watch, here again, I have to agree. One of the most appealing Lange in my opinion. [nt]

You’ve helped me understand a lot more the charm of this watch

 
 By: rnaden : November 19th, 2018-20:07
I like the red XII against the white, and the automatic, that makes a daily wear more practical. Great write up, and here’s still hoping with you that you’ll get yours back someday soon!

Thank you, Richard. This watch has to be seen in the metal to fully understand it and to get its charm, indeed. [nt]
