A. Lange & Söhne

Honey Gold. Debuted by Lange in 2010, it's a pale gold with one pragmatic quality; it is much harder than traditional 18K or 750/1000 gold. The formula is a closely guarded secret, but there are rumors that it's 75% gold and the remainder is mostly copper...  

My best horse in the stable, with an innhouse Lange balance spring. No, it did not come with that Shirt. Apart from my 1815 I would say the rattrapante is a great piece. ...  

Great photo!

…one I don’t often think about, but when I see it…wow! It really should be on my top 10 list. So nice : )

We ought to rendezvous soon!

...and ever picked this up...

I don't wear it, since it was a gift to another family member. But what a nice watch.

Somewhere along the line the alloy changed and there is a noticeable difference between the Emil and my 1815 for example. We compared them side by side a while back with BigAppleBill. In terms of favourites it is hard to beat simplicity. Some of the recen...  

about honeygold, and it’s the one I would personally like to own. Thank you, Patrick, for this very relevant honeygold thread. And thank you, Jay, for this 1815 advocacy and photo ! Best, Emmanuel

I really like the 233 series from Lange. Probably their best product in my eyes.

I have to admit, it was low lying fruit, I just saw the family member whom I gave the watch to, and it came to mind.

And half the forum here knows I especially like the 233 model line of 40 mm 1815 3 hand watches.

inviting, but still have to see one in person to be sure if I would want this version of the metal or not.

It's nice, but to me not as nice in general as yellow gold or even rose gold. But this all depends upon the case/dial/hands combination. My favorite would probably be the 1815 with eggshell dial (236.050), or its Lange 1 cousin (101.050). I think the HG c...  

And yes, my impression when having the earlier watches side by side with mine was indeed that those earlier watches appeared more yellow gold. To the point where I don’t think anyone would think that they are not YG.

Sorry for not posting this earlier. Forgot I had it. The HG tang buckle patinated while sitting undisturbed in a small ziploc bag for 10 years. It got much darker than the case of the watch it came with, as you can see. [Because I like deployants and Lang...  

I haven't seen the one I gifted to my family member in a long time - might need to make a special request for the watch to come out of hiding!

My understanding is wire springs aren’t allowed in Geneva seal watches ...  

In Geneva Seal watches, it would have to be some sort of a metal bar under tension. Definitely not like this wire spring. Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't know about this one!

The Honey Gold Moonphase 1815 almost in some ways reminds me of a Germanic looking Breguet. The case, the guilloche dial, some of it just reminds me of a Breguet.

...  

Works much better with the Tourbillon Perpetual Tourbograph than the Zeitwerk (for me). I got to play with that too and was really impressed. Goes great w/those sneakers!

Begs the question: Can you please gift it to me next time? 🙂

Then followed by the 1815 split seconds (love everything abt it except the movement with the wire spring).. If the movement didn’t have the wire spring, I think I would prefer the 1815 split seconds

I don't like wire springs neither. Big metal bar springs please! I appreciate your high level of discernment on springs! You're a very special person to have noticed this detail!

The 1815 Thin. Love the color of the case which goes well with the enamel dial. The color is quite subtle next to my 2nd gen yellow gold 1815. Claus ...  

I really like this ultra slim with the enamel dial too. Great timepiece. Thanks for showing multiple pictures, really helps me see the beautiful two-part enamel dial!

Have held it at the Boutique in New York. If there is a more stunning HG Lange than that piece, I'm yet to see it.

That one is a stunning piece. They're really all stunners!
