This Richard Lange Pour le Mérite was limited.
As were all iterations of PLMs.
But they were not hard to get and this one was widely available long after release.
It’s still a watch today that does not have a huge following; there were two prior iterations with special dials in different metals that are more collectible.
Personal opinion on this one is that it’s still somewhat under appreciated. And by extension undervalued.
But not sure what would change this and so it may, like a Patek 5070 for example, remain relatively stable in demand / price as it has for years. This is obviously good for collectors as one could perhaps more easily justify the purchase given the stability of pricing.
Today, a classy Lange ! Would pair well with the new 34mm 1815 !
A classic simple Lange on a cold but sunny Spring morning. I feel like Lange nailed it with the smaller 1815. A classic watch, classic size and a new calibre. The Honeygold is always going to attract eyes. And in a full bracelet too that’s pretty cool. I ...
Thank you. What did you think of Lange’s releases this week?
Is 34mm something for you?
It could be, but I'm still wondering if they didn't go a bit too far
down the 'shrinkage' road. One of my favorite ALS is the Saxonia Thin (ref. 201.033), which I find to fit my wrist perfectly and which has a 37 mm case. So I really would have to see this new 34 mm 1815 in the metal. My reservations also come from the fac...
I agree 100% with you, my friend!
Hopefully, this is only the beginning. Provide some different color options and perhaps, a honeygold iteration, and I may be jumping on the bandwagon!🥂
Yes, HG with the blue dial.
That could be a winner. Albeit a limited and hard to get one.
I’m digging that look Jay! That is a beautiful 1815.
Tell us more about the denim jacket, please.
The jacket is from The Real McCoys. Made in Japan.
It’s old school or traditional in terms of construction. The brand is one of many Japanese brands that focus on classic American workwear and denim from the 50, 60s etc. And the Lange is, as noted below by TeutonicCarFan a Richard Lange PLM. A little bit ...
The Richard Lange is LTD I believe?
I’ll check out the Real McCoys, you can tell that jacket is upscale and probably works casual or dressy.

Indeed. A “hitter”.
To be honest this was a major attraction of the watch for me. Lange is generally under the radar and subtle (unless we are talking about dial cut outs for tourbillons), and this one was even under the radar among Lange. Of course, not as special as the tw...
Nice one Ivan.
We have a few of them here. And I know of a few others among some friends.
