New to Lange and hooked!
Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my new found interest in a brand I would have never considered. As a collector of fine watches, I've been fortunate to enjoy several nice pieces from my top three favorite brands: Rolex, Patek and AP.
After setting eyes on my first Lange on advise from a friend, I was instantly mesmerized by the quality and incredible movement of the new RG up/down Datograph. I took the leap of faith, and ventured outside of my usual three brands and took the watch home. It's been a while since I've had such excitement in acquiring a new watch.. I absolutely adore her. It brings back memories of the first time I purchased and brought home a used Patek 5070P from an auction.
The two questions I have now is why I haven't discovered this brand earlier, and which piece from Lange I would like to add next!
Fellow Lange enthusiasts, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

Sounds like those 3 brands just became 4 brands! Welcome!
And congrats on the beautiful new acquisition! As far as what to look for next ... you came to the right place. :) Can you provide some additional details about your preferences -- size, dial color, case material, complications, openness to purchasing dis...
What a beauty!!
And it looks really perfect on your wrist. I adore this model very much. No Lange has joined my collection so far. I feel I have to revise this immediately. Wear it in good health, Thomas
Perfect daily..
I\'m pleased and rather surprised how it blends in well with a Polo shirt and jeans. Very versatile, and striking watch indeed. It hasn\'t been rotated off my wrist since 2 weeks ago.
A very sophisticated watch yet
it really seems to be suitable for almost every situation in life. For my taste this can be said of only a few watches with a RG case. With this beauty it works perfectly. IMHO . All the best, Thomas
Welcome here! To answer your question, I would go for a Langematik Anniversary.
But it is my own quest... ;) Best, Nicolas
Easy to get hooked on Lange
Easy to get hooked on Lange with so many great pieces, and such incredible movements and craftsmanship. Don't know what other pieces you have, but the Richard Lange is a terrific piece, especially the white gold boutique version with the blued steel hands...
Entering the Lange family is always a superb experience.
This Datograph Up&Down is really beautiful. About your question, I would go to a Richard Lange. 3 hands watch, central second hand, a beautiful handwind movement... you would have a superb duo! Thanks for your post and pics! Fx
Excellent recommendation.
Just checked it out at my AD and was told that it\'s rather hard to come by. Beautiful, simple, and well executed piece. Will definitely add it to the list of future Lange purchases. Thanks again for the excellent recommendation!
Congratulations! What a great piece to start with.
As for the next, everybody here has his/her favorites, but what I would tell you is: any piece is great and you can't go wrong with a Lange. Old or new-you will be happy!
Congrats on the dato..
very awesome watch and it looks good on your wrists.. Well the problem with Lange is : they have many really nice watches - the iconic Lange 1, the one of a kind zeitwerk, the classic Richard Lange and 1815s.. So best to take your time and try which one s...
A grand entrance into the world of Lange!
You chose an absolute beauty...congrats and ENJOY!
It does change your perspective a bit.
I'm afraid your on a slippery slope now and no doubt the next one won't be long in coming. RL, ZW, L1 ... to many to choose from. :) cheers and congrats! fernando
Thanks for the welcome!
I hope to post some incoming shots soon. One thing for sure, it\'s becoming difficult to just own one Lange!
Huge congratulations!
If you ask me, I would add the Lange1 next. Not such an amazing movement but the true Icon of Lange. stere
Thank you all!
Appreciate all the supportive comments. With so many wonderful examples from Lange, it\'s hard to go wrong. Tried on the Time Zone in platinum at my Lange AD this afternoon and was absolutely taken by it. I\'m trying to compare other Lange offerings to th...
L1 Timezone Would be a Great Choice
The Timezone would be a great choice for your second Lange, especially if you travel. I would agree that a Dato and a representative of the Lange 1 family would be obvious obligatory models for a Lange collection, and next (not necessarily in this order) ...
ah! u have made the right choice. now for the next ..
it has to be a lange one. or a zeitwerk
Thanks!
It\'s an interesting dial that manages to appear complicated yet easy to read and understand at the same time. At 42mm and Platinum, I feel that it\'s possible to pull off in both dressy or casual attire.. Great all around watch!
Welcome to the Lange world!
that is a great start! The Dato up down is a beautifully finished watch from movement to case Enjoy in the best of health and congrats :) Cheers Robin
That's a stunning wrist shot
Congrats and thanks for sharing. Since you travel often, a TZ would be a great addition. Regards, Ian
Congratulations and thank you for these pictures!
Yes, Lange is a brand that should be recognized more. And will be with time I presume. Its fame is already strong within the people interested by watchmaking and I hope it will conquer new ranges of people. Enjoy it! Cheers, Mark
Congrats ! Looks amazing on your wrist....
.. strangely I prefer the this new model with the power reserve... Wear it in good health !
Congratulations
And welcome to the growing group of Lange fans. The Datograph is an iconic watch and the movement is mesmerizing. I adore my "Albino" ...
