Yea i wish to do that too!
But as you know when i go Tokyo these days it's always for very tightly packed business!
And when i could visit the shops, i think most of you are working!
But, thanks anyways for bringing the show to me! I would have loved ALL THOSE CHAMPAGNE! And when would you come to here? There wont be much watches unfortunately to see, but there is the friendship!
Cheers

SIHH 2012: A. Lange & Sohne Novelties World Tour - Tokyo
They arrived at Tokyo Boutique yesterday and are to be on display there until March 4. If you are in the area, please visit the boutique to see, touch, and handle the newest offerings from Lange - like the report from Geneva suggested, the new line-up is ...
The latest Lange One is the clear winner, among all those you showed, IMO.
There is a nice work behind this watch... The proportions are harmonious. A Black dial and it is a hit, a killing piece. Such as the Saxonia Thin. The rest is not for me... Best, and thanks for this interesting post, specially the comparisons you made abo...
There may come a Grand Lange 1 "Darth" someday :-)
That might be interesting... Yeah, the thinner case is very nice, I think. Ken
Thanks a lot Ken for the report !
As you pointed it out, slenderness is the key point of the new Grand Lange 1 thanks to the use of a single barrel. I was really seduced by this watch even if I regret the absence of a WG version. Thanks a lot for the report... and thanks also for the pics...
Thanks !
I was filmed 3 minutes after my arrival at SIHH... It was a bit difficult but I appreciated the shooting. I did the same in 2011 with Tino about the Saxonia Dual Time. Fx
...and, no, there was no L1 MOP..
... you mean L1 MP Tokyo Edition? Now that's my love Ken
Superb reviews and pics Ken!
Thanks for posting. I had a blast viewing/reading this post!
First in the world!
Thank you Ken! My sentiments exactly after seeing your live photos of the new Datograph, lots of open space right around the 10:30 and 1:30 positions. Still like the L1 Tokyo Edition the most; my favorite Lange One in the whole world, even eclipsing the L...
Well...
...Grand Lange 1 - Yes, it felt a bit lighter, but thinner case made it look easier to wear. But on my small wrist, the diameter does matter and may not work well. OTOH, it could look great on the bigger wrists, and the thinner case would even give an ele...
really appreciated these real life shots
especially from the side and on the wrist. Nothing I want or (in the case of the perpetual, can afford) this year but all done in good taste and without damage to the reputation, I think. Best Andreas
You are welcome!
You already have a nice bunch of Lange... With hope for the even better offerings, let us go up little by little Ken
saxonia/datograph
i love the saxonia for its simplicity. really elegant. on the datograph which remains beautiful, you raise a very good point about the extra black space cause by the enlarged size and the change of hour markers. i do think the earlier model is superior on...
Yes...
... the new Dato is still beautiful. Everyone agrees. It is just the matter of your taste.... Ken
Thanks for the nice write up Ken.........
My favorite novelty this year is the new Dato. The more I look at it the more I like it better than the original. I can wait for the New York preview! Tony
Hi Tony,
... Let's see which you will like more, 1815 CHR or the new Dato...? Let me know when you see the new Dato! Ken
Thanks Ken!
Great report Ken, wish I could have been there. Love most of the new watches though I also don't feel comfortable with watches over 40 mm. Oh well, I realize we are in the minority. The Lange 1 desserts are really cool! Does anyone else have photos of Lan...
Agree: Daymatik and Saxonia Annual in PG are nice!
This years collection is o.k. . The Ueber-watch will hit the nerv of people who can afford it, is a fine watch. The Grand Lange 1 I do not really get: the old one looked far more distinguished, the movement in the new is too big for the case. The Saxonia ...
Always good to see you covering the events!
It's very good to see so much platinums! Though i really wished the watches were more creative. Well, next year as they say..... Glad you enjoyed the night and i wished i was there too! Gosh i miss those days in Tokyo! Stephen
Hey, I was kinda expecting...
... you to pop up. We miss you, too! Show up once in a while if you come to Tokyo and have free time. Hope all is well! Ken
Yea i wish to do that too!
But as you know when i go Tokyo these days it's always for very tightly packed business! And when i could visit the shops, i think most of you are working! But, thanks anyways for bringing the show to me! I would have loved ALL THOSE CHAMPAGNE! And when w...
Thank you Ken for the report but sadly,
I can t warm up to this years Lange s collection.I appreciate the movements and tech aspects being at Lange s standards but I find the collection utterly uninspiring. The perp Cal tourbillon,being an incredible achivement in technical finess,it lacks of a...
Thank you, and I hear ya...
... alll I can say is that YMMV , and I cannot give final judgement until I see the working sample.... Yes, there is always next year! Ken
DATOGRAPH
Thanks. Very nice pics. A bit disappointed with the new Dato. IMHO the previous Dato was perfect although some may complain it is tOo small. While the new Dato UD is bigger, the movement seems to be the same size thus the back is not as nice. Since I use ...
such delicious coverage
thanks for the great photos and coverage, I can feel that the money in my bank will be used up soon but in a happy way, thanks to you!
