Nice, 60mm macro?
Really good photos. Thank you for sharing. How did you use the flash there? Bounced or diffused?
Anyway, my fav is Annual Calendar, too. But one thing a bit of bothering me is the Caliber number suggests they started the development of the movement in 2008 - not typical. Typically they introduce a model with caliber number 4 to 6 years back.... So, one curious questions is whether they "rushed" to introduce this model or not???? But still that is the model I like and I would like to see it in the metal - do they have PT model?
Thanks again. See you in Tokyo!

Live Photos of Lange 2010 Novelties (From the Lens of Z3)
PuristSPro's 2010 SIHH Live Reporting by Z3 A. Lange & Sohne 2010 Novelties Instead of coming out with drastically new models (such as the case of the 31-day power reserve last year), Lange is focusing on its roots and traditional design DNA this year. Ac...
That's a lucky lens Z3!
You have a very lucky lens! Thank you for the great photos. So far your description of the new honey gold is very satisfying. I've been pondering the colour of this gold for some time now. My favorite watch is the Honey Gold 1815 Moonphase. Not only do I ...
Thanks Patrick. I also like the 1815 Moonphase in honey gold
It's simple and there is nothing superfluous on the dial, with a very attractive moonphase, and a refreshingly different finishing on the movement that ties in closely with Lange's tradition as a pocket-watch maker. Not to mention a relatively attractive ...

Thanks Z3 for your lovely balanced report..............
Your photos have certainly captured the true craftmanship of each piece. My money would be on the new Richard Lange.
Yes, Nikon 60mm micro 1:2.8D
The flash comes from Nikon speedlite SB-600 and is simply bounced. A very light set of equipment. Not sure about whether calibre development is rushed or not, interested to find out from a Lange expert. See you soon, Ken. Jon (Z3)
The 1815 chrono
while dryly traditional, really works for me. I can see wearing that watch daily under the right social circumstances, and always looking upon it with deep appreciation. A great fine example of traditional beauty.
Bravo, fantastic images.
Some GREAT pics even in that light condition, definitely not the best for taking pictures. The Zeitwerk pictures make me feel the need of wearing one. What a beautiful piece of art, how can a German watch can be sooo cool?. And the best of all is that it'...
WOW
WOW truly outsnaidng pieces, and nice report Z3, but i was wondering technicaly what would make the honey gold more solid unless it low in karats? intersting color . Faisal
Thanks a lot Jon !
Yes, the Annual Calendar is a very balanced watch and I enjoyed to wear it a few minutes. I really think that the size is perfect and Lange brought a useful complication. Fr.Xavier
Thank you Fr.Xavier, for your comprehensive report.
We all have slightly different tastes, what I like might not be what many of my friends like. The more I think about it, the more I like the annual calendar, it's so balanced and so... Lange!
Great photos, but one small correction, Philippe is spelled with one "l" and two "p"s
Not the other way around. I know, its my name too.
I've been waiting for you to post this one.....
I see why you've been talking so much about the Saxonia annual calendar, it looks great in rose gold. Aside from the new limited edition Zeitwerk, which unfortunately has been way over priced, the annual calendar in rg and 1815 chrono in wg are my favorit...
There's quite a lot to love from Lange this year
The honey gold looks marvelous. The 1815 Moonphase is the winner for me, followed by the Zeitwerk Luminous. Lange's movements always make me smile. I love the color of their blued screws and ruby jewels. Thanks for all the great photos, Jon! Cheers, Daos
This is probably the best looking new collection
that I have seen in years, no matter the manufacturer. They did a really great job. I also love the 1815 Moonphase. This message has been edited by radone on 2010-02-01 10:15:19
Wonderful post!
Referenzuhr is really amazing. I think it`s a very tough decision to choose between this one and Zeitwerk. Does someone know when these new models will be released, and which will be the Referenzuhr price? Wonderful post! Best regards, Marcelo Pileggi
