... taken over the shoulder of a guest is cool! Thank you for the impressions from a certainly enjoyable event from Lange. Best Moritz

I hope to convey the classic Lange hospitality. Thanks for viewing. what are your thoughts on the new Datograph up/down? have you seen it live? best, Horo

... I don't have a problem with the new U/D version. Yup, I "approve" it :-) I think I could handle 41mm size in this case. Long PR is the biggest appealing point. But since I have the original one, for now, I don't have a reason to replace it in a hurry ... 

i have two "problems" 1) I like the Double Split too, and 2) I am also long the old Dato...actually...see picture... :(- Best, Horo ...  

It seems as if the new one is thechnically upgraded a lot by new higher power reserve, the inhouse hairspring and also an inhouse mainspring ... . The powerse reserve indicator is the main DESIGN criticism for many, as it is a consequence of the new, stro... 

Thanks for sharing pics of this event that seems to have touch the skies. I find particularly interesting to invite guests to photoshoot the watch. I presume you had a great night. Cheers, Mark PS : do you have a picture taken there to share ?

and Lange and Leica have done a few co-events. the assumption is the two are complementary in customers segments. there were several brilliant photo submissions for the contest, which I unashamedly attempted, and predictably failed to even make the cut in... 

I think you kept up very well with your photoshooting Horo By the way I find this Red gold RL's blue strap quite dary and nice ;) Cheers, Mark

howdy Mark, yes, its a watch that has the hallmarks of everything i look for in a 'simple" three hand...very much like the Laurent Ferrier, simplicity in interface, complexity in mechanism and material. whilst not quite PLM "standards"....it represents to...  

but I can understand it very much. You know I had a 1815 "new version" for a while (watch I was not satisfied with on an aesthetics standpoint) but I always found the RL much more attractive to me. Especially the roman numerals that are thin and long whic... 

howdy mate...this one? just took it out from my safe to take a picture. if my memory serves me well...this is the same one as yours? best, Horo ...  

I kept all my pics as it remains a beautiful timpiece and is perfectly finished. I know I'll come back to Lange, but the pb with this brand is: which one ! You have a very nice collection Horo, bravo Cheers, Mark ...  

and perpetual calendars. I have my Lange buying program sorted out from now till 2016....simply because it is going to take me that sort of time to save up for the pieces that I want. Best, Horo

I would love to have this big cardboard piece for my soon to be built watch den. Compulsory textbook reading for every Lange owner. I am told there will be exams from next year onwards...:)- ah yes...the (in)famous three quarter plate of untreated German ...  

thanks folks for reading, I hope I brought to you some degree of the legendary Lange hospitality. Till the next event.... best, Horo ...  

With such Italian atmosphere, where was the Lange 1 Villa d'Este? ;) Fx

no Lange vino that night, but I humbly opine for the better :)- best, Horo

A pleasure to see you all having fun and enjoying the Lange hospitality. Your thoughts on the new Datograph? Cheers :) Fernando

and classic Lange. you know i always say its a dichotomy and contradiction, that a certain swiss family brand keep sprouting family values in their marketing literature but treat you like a corporation; whilst Lange being part of a corporation, treat you ... 

and very well put. :) Not seen the new Dato yet ; fearful of the consequences. ;) Best fernando

I am confident you will love it. Now good size for those who are used to bigger sports watches. Do consider before any price rises. Best, Horo

It is time my friend to "think" German :)- We are having a small Panerai gathering this evening, so got picts coming up Best, Horo

been out on the new Datograph design, I keep looking and comparing but after this report, I am off the fence and simply had a realization that this is an evolution. I will now admire both! Thanks for taking us to the celebration, looks like there was grea...
