A. Lange & Söhne

Allow me to join the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph club

As I have recently seen some forum member here joined the Datograph club

And after years contemplating, I've finally made the move...

Thanks for the help from a friend here and Hororgasm who pushed me to purchase this spectacular piece

The first time I tried on the piece, I felt it was sitting too high on the wrist, but after being explained, I heard that Lange purposely made the caseback thicker so the case looks thinner.. And now it felt just right on the wrist

I'm sure all you guys knows more about this classic piece than I do, so here I just share some photos I took

I just love the balanced design of this dial, just perfectly balanced

And the movement... What more I can say about it.. Stunning!

On the wrist, is just perfect... The weight feels very nice... Feels more solid than the 5960P

And I've been playing with the Loupe System and the iPhone mount, here's some shots:

Hope you guys enjoy the pictorial

Have a wonderful weekend!

Sam

Thank you for your kind words.. Acutally I was inspired by your posts when you first acquired this datograph... I also really like your Montblanc chrono.. Thanks again Robin Cheers Sam

Hi Sam, let's catch up

When you next visit Singapore and we can have our Lange Datos side by side my Montblanc Villeret grand feu email chronograph for a face off comparison! :) I ended up liking them both as much! Cheers Robin

By: Haagen : April 13th, 2014-07:00

I am still looking for an early platinum Datograph for myself. Love this watch. Congrats!

I wish you luck with the hunt...

By: i_am_Sam : April 22nd, 2014-09:01

May I ask, any particular reason why it has to be early datograph? Thanks! Best, Sam

Well, I just like to own pioneering watches.

By: Haagen : April 22nd, 2014-09:15

The closer to the actual launch date, the better. My hunt is however over and the perfect ALS is now on its way to my wrist.

Bravo, Kristian! Can't wait to see your first pictures. And...

By the way, I love the way you are thinking... ;) All the best, my friend. Nicolas.

Are you on Instagram, my friend?

By: Haagen : April 27th, 2014-23:55

My Datograph Perpetual with grey dial is rather frequent on my IG account these days ;-)

Naaah, I am old school guy, and quite reluctant with these new media tools. ;) [nt]
