Let's celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Lange One with a contest !
The 24th of October, 1994 remains a very important date in the history of watchmaking: the rebirth collection of Lange & Söhne was unveiled. 4 watches symbolized the beginning of a new page of one of the most prestigious brands in the world: the Tourb...
Bravo, that is a great reason and way to celebrate!
I am sure the celebration will be something very special :-) Thanks! Oliver
disappointed that contest limited to Lange 1s
What proud loyal Lange owner wouldn't want to win an all expenses paid trip to Dresden and join the celebration? 1994 marked a turning point for the company that one way or the other resulted in any contemporary piece. Plus, it would be fun to see all the...
I understand your disappointment but...
the event is dedicated to the celebration of the Lange 1! Sure that other Lange watches will be under the spotlights later! Fx
Uh oh. Photographers must be amateurs, not professionals...
Does that mean our esteemed amateur photographers who are so good they would pass as professionals will not be able to participate? No, I will vouch for them that they are not true professional photographers.
Awesome shots ! I believe it's the same model that I have ...
110.030 (Soiree), correct ? Off topic: do you have any idea as to how 'rare' this version is ? Many thanks and BR, Pieter
Thanks, Pieter! Although I am not up on the
references, they certainly look identical to me. Back when I purchased mine, it was as I understood specifically sold through Sincere watch, and production was limited. Obviously when this version became available internationally production must have incr...
L1 in Mother of Pearl
Steve, When you write "2003 (2 years post my purchase)" are you saying that you bought your watch in 2001? That would not be consistent with CR's table. In his table the ref. 110.029 (WG with "plain" mother of pearl) was issued in 2001 and the guilloche m...
There is no question I purchased
my "1" in 2001, I originally posted the pictures above as part of my article in October, 2001. This is why I credit the notion that the guilloche version was originally produced especially for the one prominent retailer prior to general distribution.
& further, according to a table recently posted
on another site production of my watch would seem to be firmly in the year 2000.
in fact,
although you can no longer view my posted pictures, if you visit this link: :/ and search for this date/format: 10/25/1 - 05:12:33 there is the reference to my posting these pictures (even though the link leads to an archived version of another site, perh...
L1 Mother of Pearl Guilloche Version Introduction
Sounds pretty clear that the Ref. 110.030 was introduced no later than 2001. I will alert CR to adjust the date in the table.
Clarifications about the table/year and "Soiree" name, and a Question....
Thanks guys for prompting me to clarify/correct this info in the table (and thanks for your wonderful photos over the years, Steve -- I hope you've been well). I too purchased a model 110.030 prior to 2003 (in very early 2002 -- it came from one of the fi...
Beyond thread drift, I know,
(& my family and I are well, thanks!) I noticed that the archived page and post I referred to above was actually something else, my article was a few pages of posts earlier, but the pictures in that specific post are perhaps more of interest, being Peter ...
Ah, a blast from the past - thanks Steve! And a question...
I remember those photos from years ago. Very cool stuff!! I should've asked this question at the Lange manufacture (and measured the case thickness of a "Little Lange 1"), but I forgot. I should email Lange about this. The Lange 1 110.029 and 110.030 MOP ...
my lange 1 submissions...
Not sure if I can submit to both watchprosite and timezone.. but I guess no harm in getting more coverage... :) The focus is on the "20" for the 20th bd bash... customary shot of the movement.. Thanks for looking... ...
Celebratin the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1
Certainly will not be the most beautiful photos, many forum writers have engaged in more poses built or researched. I simply wanted to commemorate the launch of the Lange 1 through the history of Dresden and Saxony in general, the cradle of skilled watchm...
I like this piece of history!
Dear Indigoblu I like this piece of history! Many thanks for posting! Kind regards -- Seeks
Question about the Lange 1.....
I do not (yet) own a Lange but am trying to learn more about the brand. I want only a few watches, but I like watches which are classic models which stick closely to the original (even if they are subject to minor cosmetic updates). For example I have a R...
no change.. But..
Looking at the movements of newer lange 1, i have noticed that the opening to view the click was changed from a circle to a kidney-bean shape.. Rgds yming
Yes, it is correct.
Only some very few minor changes. We can say that the "classic" Lange remains the same. One remark however: the very first Lange One had a solid caseback. Fx
I thought I would give it a shot
I am a big wrist shot believer, and my collection of Lange focus on the icons from the past, with a bridge to the future with the Zeitwerk. I am missing one key piece, Mr. Walter's PLM, but my chance of landing that one is slim and none. So here is my ent...
This is a nice and rare trio. Congrats!
The L1 "Cellini" in Pt with luminous hands was a LE of 25, wasn´t it? Cordially, Oliver
My first entry
Here is my first entry and I hope you like it! Lange 1 (Montegrappa ink well, Conway Stewart fountain pen and Ettinger wallet) ...
My Entries
I thought about this, and wondered if I should try setting up something with more clarity or depth.. but then came to the realization that no other pictures could capture the moment better than these of my Darth while standing in front of the Semper opera...
One more entry for the Lange 1
This one is a little different, but I hope you will find it interesting. It is one of my favorite. Lange 1 is such a beautiful watch and looks really good both in real life and in pictures. ...
My friend's chocolate shot
I'm sorry that I don't have any Lange 1, but my friend has this beauty. ...
Great contest!!
I had a lot of fun making my entries for these contest. Now I present you the crown of my collection and one of my ever favorite pieces: My Grand Lange 1 in Rose Gold: (It´s somewhat a pity some details are lost due to the image resizing.) Still, fingers ...
