This is a key question...
Are 40mm too big for an "elegant" watch?
Actually, I don't have a clear answer, it really depends on the taste of each of us... But 36 or 40mm, I like them both even if the 36mm has the little something which makes it more elegant IMHO.
I own a 36mm1815 and I have a lot of pleasure to wear it.

Report on yesterday's Lange dinner in Paris
Yesterday, I had the chance with a group of French fans to attend a dinner organized by Lange Western Europe (Jacques and Lucia) at a famous restaurant in Paris: Apicius. This event was a great opportunity for all of us to share our passion about the Saxo...
Thanks yet again for another great report........
Your photos are always great! On another note, looking at both 1815's in your photos the 36mm version seems to look better on your wrist to my eye than the new larger version. I have a tendency to stay around 39mm give or take but going forward I'll have ...

For me I think the size........
of the Lange 1 at 38.5mm is about perfect for a dress watch. Tony
I have three comments
First, your idea of the RL with no tourby in enamel will have me sign up in a heart beat Two, I will need to eat at this restaurant on my next trip to Paris! I'm kicking myself for missing this on my last trip. Third, fantastic report and pix. I felt i wa...
Thanks Joe!
This enamel version of the Richard Lange "regulator" comes back very often to my mind... Original pocket watch was superb: Fx...
I love it
I know you are close to the decision makers. Your idea would be an absolute hit. I know making enamel dials is difficult but this would be a more affordable watch and they could limit annual production. I know I'd wait for an order. Thx for finding this s...
Merci beaucoup
Thank you for the excellent report and, as is the norm, your great pictures. After all the ink that has been spilled on the subject, I think that your comment on the new vrs. old Dato hits the nail right on the head.
Great time with Lange, I see.
This PG cabaret is beautiful. and the Dato ... my grail piece. Thanks for the post. Regards Tyler
Thanks Tyler!
I own a PG Cabaret but with the silver dial. This black dial version is truly gorgeous and more original. Fx
Nice foods!
... and watches! I have to go to Paris.... definitely sooner than later.... Thanks for the report! Ken
Very fine review Fx (did you sleep ?)
as I said before, it was a great evening, thanks to you, the Lange team and all the friendly participants. Concerning the Dato, it is definitely my favorite of the Lange 2012 novelties. I had an issue with the power reserve but in the flesh it remains ver...
I didn't sleep.... I dreamt!
Impossible for me to sleep! I was thinking all night long about the Zeitwerk, the Datograph... anyway, thanks a lot for your presence and for your comments about the new Datograph Mark! Fx
A YG ZW for me, please! The WG is too "Werk"
Thank you very much for the quite rare shot of a YG ZW. The WG ZW is a nice, perfect daytime wearable, allrounder, but it lacks a bit noblesse: it looks very technical. The PG, that I saw, looked very good already but I feel the YG one will knock me off c...
The good point about the WG version...
is the high contrast between the dial and the timebridge. I like it a lot. For me, WG version is the iconic one. But of course, YG version has its charm... Fx
Yes I agree
I had to kill to get this piece, it is so difficult. But I love it, I think the movement is a thing of beauty. I know many differ, but I feel it is important to have this baby in the collection. Joe...
It seems that you will know the 2012 collection by heart. ;)
And it looks like you had a superb moment, too. Apicius is one of the place to go, for sure. As for the watches, you perfectly described it: There is clearly an hyphen between two periods. I am not sure I am in love with the current one... Best, Nicolas T...
I know your feeling about the Datograph...
And I do believe that the hardcore fans of Lange like you will always prefer the original Datograph. But I still think that as an evolution, new version is a great achievement. Thanks for your comments! Fx
I love the dinner event!
Hello Xavier, Thank you for sharing this with us! I am certain that you all had a good time, and that veal looks awesome! Tschuss Stephen
Looks like everyone had a great time.
All the watches look great, but I would have loved to see the new perpetual calender tourbillon. The design is very attractive and different with the months on the edge of the dial. Of the watches present, the Time Zone and the Grand Lange 1 are my favori...
Great dinner
Some friends were there and gave me a very positive feedback. Hope I could attend it one day
