You may recall that I had to send mine back too!...
It ran intermittently -- would stop before being fully wound down. Seems like Lange's factory-fresh deliveries of this model aren't quite up to par as far as reliability goes. I haven't had a problem since getting it back. I hope you get yours back soon!
1815 Moon Phase "Hommage to F A Lange" - a pictorial
Two years ago, A Lange & Sohne paid tribute to the founder of the German watchmaking dynasty with the "Hommage to F A Lange" edition, comprising three iconic timepieces: * The TOURBOGRAPH "Pour le Merite" * The LANGE 1 TOURBILLON * The 1815 MOON PHASE The...
I have to send mine back to Lange: one endstone is missing ;-)
Wow, what lovely pictures from this romantic watch: the aura is fully present on the pictures. The first one looks nearly like painted, very atmospheric. Let us see if someone else is also missing one stone ... . Regards Moritz

There is no diamond endstone in this MP! Nobody noticed that? :-)
Hello there certainly, I recall your technical problems with your MP but what I ment with an endstone missing was sarcastically ment: Sam must have mistakenly attached a picture from a L1 Tourbillon to this post. Or deliberately to test us? Regards Moritz
I noticed it right away...
Scared me for a moment, thought there was something wrong with my memory. Then I realized...
Sharp eyes Moritz!
You are referring to the second to last pic. I suppose. Sam must have slipped that one in to confuse us.
You can not imagine how long an inspection takes ...
before I say "Yes, I buy it!". And I found already quite a few flaws ... not with a Lange yet though! Regards Moritz
LOL
You are absolutely correct Moritz.... My bad. Two of the pictures are indeed taken for my Lange 1 Tourbillon. I am impressed Sam
I have also sometimes the feeling something is missing with this model...
like a minute repeater function to add more mechanical complexity to it and enhance also the romantic mood. Was thinking that you might also have this feeling ... . But with a repeater function equiped it would have been out of reach for me, so all is fin...
The alternative is to get a MR pocket watch
I know it's not the same, but is certainly the next best thing. This is a video made of a piece that I own, at 1/50 of the price of a MR wrist watch... www.youtube.com Best Sam
Indeed: a pocket MR! I mised a good one recently
It was the first that I have ever tested, found it quite good in sound and pace, wanted to thing about it before buying and what can I say: was gone when I went back! But yours on the video sounds great: clear and calm in pace, not too rushed, very nice t...
Superb photos, Sam. A good idea to post this topic on a Sunday morning.
Thank you so much for the morning pleasure. Best, Nicolas
Thx Nico
Oygia and I worked for a whole Sunday afternoon (well...he worked and I simply nosed around) so more nice pictures of several other pieces are on the way. Stay tuned. Cheers Sam
Thanks a lot Samwan for these superb pics.
This 1815 Moonphase was a watch which led to mixed emotions when it was released due to the comparison with the Emil Lange. But I like it a lot and the "homage style" is perfect for this complication. Thanks a lot! Fx
Great awesome photos of a much deserved piece!
You are a very blessed man Sam! Continue to wear it in the best of health! Stephen
Are you wearing yours often Fernando?
Or are you sticking to your Langematik Perpetual? Best Sam
I've given up ...
setting the moonphase Sam - too much hassle. So just set the time & wear occasionally. The perpetual is easier to adjust with the quick date change button, so gets a bit more wrist time; plus the fact I like to see the 3/4 rotor in action Best fernand...
beautiful but.....
I think what we all really need to know is if the honey gold increases the scratch resistance of this watch so maybe you could do a little experiment...... just kidding!
