To me, this is it.....
Lange has officially "jumped the shark."
Its been a wonderful ride. Their movements are truly spectacular.
Best,

Very, very nice...

Love the Day indicator. Not sure why "Automatic" was added to the L1 line up. I am intrigued to understand the rational behind the movement. For me, Manual is part of the Lange DNA ( With respect to all fellow enthusiast that own a Langematic ). will wait...
wow

One cant say it's not a passionate response ! I surely did not know some people felt so strong about winding a watch. I guess you got your watch then . hope to see some wrist shots soon all the best rabs
Lange isn't the first one?

"For most watch enthusiasts who wear their timepieces on their left wrists, this layout has the advantage that when they pull back their sleeve, the first thing they will see is the most important information: the time. " I believe that's exactly what FP ...
Very interesting...

Hope to get some movement photos of this very interesting timepiece! Again, a bit of a surprise from Lange, but not a bad surprise. I'm slightly flustered by the fact that the watch's DAY display starts on Saturday. In Europe, my understanding is that the...
Interesting piece

I like how Lange thinks about the fact that an Automatic watch not needing a power reserve indicator. That is the one true and complete perfect logic, one that I hope all other manufacturers follow. The centralised and full rotor should be visually intere...
Not impressed at all....

I confirm that the argument of having the time on the right side of the dial has been used by Journe a few years ago.Anyway,seems like that whereas the tech dept at Lange still manage to develop and improve amazing movements,their design team is scrapping...
Tough crowd...

Maybe Patek should discontinue the Calatrava and Rolex the Submariner? The L1 is iconic and I hope Lange will never discontinue it. Interesting variations (that are true variations, not just dial changes) keep it fresh.
100%

The design is a classic and should be produced. The trick is to not ruin the damned thing with silly changes. This version of the watch is very nice I think and does no disservice to the original.
I agree 100%
By: zjpj : December 15th, 2009-08:50
Not to mention the fact that this ISN'T a Lange 1 or any variation thereof. I don't understand why the fact that it shares iconic Lange styling cues means it has anything to do with that other piece. That's like denouncing every Breguet with guilloché...

Stephen, I cringe every time I have to buy razor blades or almost anything up to - and beyond - a bottle of Talisker. Sure, I would love to have the 31 day "Monat" just to see how accurate it can be, from day to day, with its 10 sec constant force "remont...
In defence of Lange
By: SJX : December 14th, 2009-18:40
Lange has created a new movement - entirely new calibre with automatic winding and new functions - for a watch that is similar to the original. That is a first class way of doing things, instead of creating a new dial and hands for an old movement. I do a...
you are right

Why generate a substitute for a left-handed icon? By the way, somebody should start a poll - geographically and professionally - of right-and-left watch wearers. Not of right and left handed persons who wear watches. Shake hands with someone, and even sub...
Not Impressed
By: DLee68 : December 14th, 2009-23:26
For a while I thought the Daymatic was a prank until I saw it on timezone as well and also the fact that it is still December and far from April Fool's Day. I own an original pour le merite (the tourbillon version), the Anniversary, and the Wempe Gangrese...
Mixed feelings....
By: MiniCooper : December 15th, 2009-10:38
Although the design is a winner, I do have mixed feelings.... a spin off Lange 1, it is beautiful and the day function is very nice.... However..... I am skeptic about the automatic movement... personally I prefer the manual.. We have to wait to see the m...
question
By: didwlgh : December 16th, 2009-10:39
First of all, thanks for the pictures and info. Nice piece from L&S. Have a question - looking at the technical specifications, it looks like this is an automatic watch. Is this going to be the first automatic from L&S? Thanks!
Actually no
By: moc : December 16th, 2009-13:17
AL&S already produced some automatic movements ,they go under the denomination of SAX-O-MAT.The most notorious/famous models in the collections are :the Langematik first of all in all its variations,the wonderful Anniversary,and the Saxonia Automatik.I th...
uh. so gorgeous

THANK YOU for he Write up. ! lovely New Addition to the Lange Family . reversing the Date and the Time's Dial make a lot of sense.! i think it looks much better that way. but WISH it was in 46mm like the Lange 31. Cheers Tony
