What is the story behind the two stolen watches?
Does anyone have any background on the watches?.
Langematik Anniversary Jubilee (ref. no. 302.025) Census...
Hi All, The Langematik Anniversary (PT, enamel dial) was produced around 2001 and was limited to 500 pieces. I always suspected that only about 250 (and not all 500) were sold to the public, based upon how (in)frequently they appear on the preowned market...
Thanks to all who replied privately. Here is the updated census...
2,19,28*,35,51,57,61,62,68,86,92,97, 107,125,133,137,152,164,165,185*,195, 212,218,219,226,242,266,275,279, 310,345,356,368, 408,454,455,466,472,483,485,494,498 * #28/500 and #185/500 are stolen
So in fact.......
It looks like 500 pieces were made. Thanks for doing this CR, I always wondered myself. I would love to own this watch one day. Tony
Thank you! I received several others. Here is the current list...

Yes.
#28 was stolen this year, in late April/early May of 2015. It was stolen either in Japan or in California, USA, when enroute from one Forum member to another. #185 was stolen from Nico ("amanico"). For a list of other stolen Lange watches, or to add yours...
Thanks! Here is updated list...

You've accounted for a tenth of the (presumably) manufactured watches.
Just curious-are these all owned/were owned by PuristS?
Thank you! This is the current list.

Hey CR
203,252 exists. Just one note - I have also discussed this topic with a long time Lange employee, and he/she confirmed that 500 is produced. They were as surprised about why Blümlein made such a decision; and they were very happy when all 500 were deliver...
