Triple Split Celebration đŸ
Along with the Watches & Wonders Miami, ALS brought their almighty Triple Split and some pieces from the recent SIHH to the event. Itâs a pity the 1815 Walter Lange Tribute pieces were not here as well as the purple Little Lange 1 boutique edition.
Prior to the event opening, we (plus my boss of course) were honored to be invited to a super nice private mansion for dinner with ALS CEO Mr Schmid, and NA Brand President, lovely Silvie.
By the way, the mansion is available for âsaleâ for âonlyâ $29.75M đ
For this post, Iâll show some of the pieces brought to the dinner event plus the next day opening ceremony at the boutique. They also brought a watchmaker to answer any questions guests may have.
I took so many photos so itâs better to separate them in few posts.
Apologize for the lighting and quality of my photos as the location is intimate and comfortable. So here we go... Iâll let the photos do the talking, hope youâll enjoy.
At the boutique, I also have the pleasure to meet another member âCRâ and admire his nice Lange. Thanks CR.

The star of the show on display. The boutique was redecorated just for this.
Feeling the heft, and playing with the functions. Pushing the pushers alone is a pleasure.
These movement, ahhh, heavenly and I can do this all at long

Amazing night and report
I have only one suggestion for Lange: do provide your high end watches with a decent deployant, it's a poor and risky choice that those heavy and bulky watches come with a mere buckle. The price is high enough to have it as a standard, not as an option.
Thank you and I have to say they never fail to impress đđ»
Some may like buckles and some like deployants so itâs hard to make things standard. Having options are still best for consumers. Rgds Raymond
I agree, but when you release such a heavy weight, even the most skilled collectors may experience a fatal crash
Gravity is always ON and claims for its daily sacrifice đ± Besides that, deployant is the best choice for these kind of watches; elegance and safety mixed together.
Great meeting you as well, Raymond!
W&W was a fun event. Phillips auction house had some nice vintage Rolex pieces for preview (if you were lucky enough to stumble upon their display case -- I found them purely by accident). There were a few independents there too, with the highlight be...
I am missing out so many good stuff, CR!
I did find the Indyâs and have a great chat with Kari himself, even tried on his masterpieces. Itâs a great pleasure too and thanks for adding more details for the event. Rgds Raymond
The night is just beginning...more on W&W 2018 coming up
But first Iâm going to enjoy Miami. Thanks mj23.
Everything looked perfect dear Raymond. Even the âupside downâ Saxonia on the wrist of your boss đ
The last shot of you is truly cool too. Happy birthday Raymond đ Best wishes Alkiro
Canât be better my friend....
Thank you very much for the well wishes. It an important day for ALS and me as wellđŹ Rgds Raymond ...
Superb report!
Of course you had me at "Triple Split." ...simply beyond words! Thanks for the report. Looks like a GREAT time!
Glad you enjoy it...
The display of their technical prowess is evident. I wish I had better pictures but of course the ones from blogs or their official web is the best. Oh wait...I havenât post any W&W events yet đ...so stay tuned. Rgds Raymond
Youâre welcome Fab5119R and this is only Langeâs party...
The whole place and event party is just as amazing, which I will sort my photos and post soon. Lange is just over the topđđ» Sneak preview ...
Thanks, Raymond, for this post.
So many beautiful photos. And I'm glad you had such a great time.
Youâre very welcome Padj.
Way too many that Iâm loss how to postđ Looks like a very successful event, more to come.
Great event
Many thanks for posting. How does the Decimal Strike look in the flesh - thoughts on Honey Gold?
I like Honey Gold as I have the 1815 200th anniversary one...
Itâs looks good, imo, subtle in natural light and changes when you are under other lighting conditions. See mine under orangy lighting. ...
TSC!
Triple Split celebration...I love that! Every day should be a TSC followed by a double scoop of ice for sharing the report and splendid pics!
