A. Lange & Söhne

G'day, the Dato certainly remains to be a pillar of the Lange portfolio, which underwent some real changes over the past 2 years. Today we´re about a quarter of a year ahead of SIHH 2009 (which will take place very early), so i´m very curious to hear your...  

Sorry for my ignorance but do you mean that there were modifications to Dato for the past 2-3 years when compared to the original watch that came out 10 years ago? After 10 years in the market, are you suggesting a new Dato coming to the horizon?

as for my crystal ball ... hmm Dato Rattrapante? Richard Lange Seconde Morte? Wait a minute, I can see something very clearly now, it is ... it is... OH NO ... the batteries in my crystal ball are dying, the image is fading away. ARRGGGGHHH E

One thing I wouldn't expect is for the Datograph to be discontinued. Like everything, it will eventually be discontinued, but Lange really doesn't have anything to replace it with. Eric von Schonberg

2009 is a milestone for Lange with the 10th anniversary of the Datograph, that's true. But I really think they are currently more focussed in structuring the company (new building, training of young watchmakers etc...) than in releasing "revolutioning" ne... 

yeah, with PR at the 9 o´clock subdial and do I hear "rattrapante"? Ratrappante operated by an pusher coaxial to the crown ... I think I better shut up now. Seriously; would there be people interested in a bigger Dato? I have heard lots of complaints of p... 

the Lange staff (Fabian, Arnd, Tony etc...) was wearing this YG/ Black Dial during the SIHH to test the reactions. At the beginning I was a bit surprised by the contrast between the case and the dial. But at the end, I really think it was a nice combo. Fr... 

and I can imagine that the combo yellow-and-black is very very nice: not as "warm" as the Dufour Dato and not as "cold" as THE Dato. But they made (at least) 3 YG Datographs? Wow, that means they are serious! I think yellow and black do match nicely. Wasn... 

As you say - I dont believe they would discontinue the Datograph which is Langes most important watch beside the Lange 1 in my opinion. Maybe they replace the RG Dato with the YG/black dial version. THE Dato is untouchable.

send me the original Lange stock photo of the RG/Black Datograph and I will try some PS-ing on it later today. Due to a virus outsmarting my anti virus s/w I lost all my Lange images. Edwin

G'day, word on the YG variant was this to be an edition of 30 units; i´d guess these are gone already, but frankly i´ve not seen "official introductions". But then, for such a small run there´s no need for advertisement anyway. Here´s da real thing, as sh...  

I saw it in a shop in Rome a few weeks ago. Fr.Xavier

Ciao Guys, Trust everyone is doing well with your masterpieces^^. Well, my guess for 2009 is based on gut feeling, and also the word that has been circulating in the Japanese market for a while now, it is especially true that next year is Lange 's 20th an... 

Hi Guys, I wish a WG Richard Lange with black dial. I expect they will bring out a highly complicated piece (maybe a repeater)...as eyecatcher and small improvements of existing modes (e.g. increase the Dato / Langematik Perpetual to 41mm and so on). best...

Hi Edwin, yeah, this is exactly what I mean...you are a big photoshop magician (I would prefer the second one...) Greetings from Saxony! stere
