Your conclusion says it all. I regret seeing Lange systematically going for bigger and
Thicker cases.
The Terra Luna has one nice thing, the case back, final point. The rest, IMO, is, well...
My favourite? The 1815. 38, 5 mm is a perfect size for this Watch. And it is a Watch, as you perfectly wrote, which still has some Lange DNA.
I am still waiting to be delighted, which is not the case anymore, since the unveil of the RL PLM.
Best,
Nicolas

A. Lange & Söhne – personal impressions of the novelties from SIHH 2014
I would like to provide you with my – subjective – in-depth impressions of A. Lange & Söhne SIHH 2014 novelties – particularly the Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna , the 1815 Tourbillon , the Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase , the “mid-size” 1815 an...
Thank you for this! Excellent
Oliver, Thank you for the wonderful pictures, and especially your comments on the novelties. I very much appreciate true and honest opinions on these things. The Lange 1 Tourbillon PC remains my favourite from those you showcased, but the Pt version holds...
Colton, thanks for your kind reply!
Even with outstanding watches around, at the end it is all about the people - good or bad. There is nothing like passion, without people. Cheers, Oliver
You took the words out of my mouth...
.. totally agree with you :-) Thanks for your impressions! Ken

Nicolas, thanks for your reply! Bigger and thicker cases ...
especially when we talk about complicated pieces. Will that change some time soon? I don´t know, but I would appreciate it :-) Cheers, Oliver
Thanks for the report on the Lange novelties
Great photos, and thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Lange novelties. I like the 1815 Tourbillon, and agree with you that the thickness isn't what I would expect on this watch. Other than that detail, it's my favorite of the novelties. Regards, ED-20...
Am I wrong...
...or can I read between the lines that your love to ALS will grow up again a bit? Thanks for your outstanding report! stere
Stere, thanks for your kind reply!
Coming to your question. If there is passion & love involved it´s like beeing a member of a family. Sometimes it is "pure love" and sometimes you are more critcal than others, because you only want the best. The products haven´t changed recently (good...
Thanks Oliver!
...for your statement. I have no connetion to people at Lange, so my point of view is only marked by their products. At my point of view the 2014 collection is...very special. From technical point of view the watches are incredible and on a superlative le...
Thank you Oliver for this outstanding report!
I agree with you - we all have very high expectations of ALS and their great products such as the Datograph, Lange 1, RL PLM, etc have made it somewhat difficult for them to continue to impress at that level. I too prefer the older Lange watches and also ...
Thanks a lot for your detailed article, I enjoyed reading it...
... even if I have different comments on some novelties. I will come back on the 1815 Tourbillon during the next weeks. Fx
