1815 Chrono 402.026
Hi All,
Just wanted to share a pic of my 1815 402.026 that I acquired about 2 months ago.
I have been eyeing this watch for sometime, and was nearly distracted by the Saxonia Annual Calender and new 1815 up/down but as a member of this forum advised me "..a chronograph movement maybe the best way to enter Lange world!" Am I glad I listened to him! Thank you Forversta.
From what i read off the internet, I know the 402.026 is not the most popular ALS model around; it appears a lot more collectors prefer its predecessor. Some find it too bland and dull etc. For me, it's cool, sombre, clean cut look reminiscence of the vintage Lange pocket watches was just perfect.

Congrats Chye!
You have a lovely 1815 Chrono! Looks great on you. The movement is to die for and what a way to enter the Lange world. Agree it brings out the old world charm of Lange's pocket watches. I love the blued hands too. Thanks for sharing here and pls share mor...

It is a lovely chrono, no matter from what side, angle or point of view. Enjoy your new watch! Moritz
Congrats Chye
That's a real beauty! I love the blued hands, and needless to say, it's got an amazing movement. And the watch looks great on your wrist too. Wear it in the best of health. Regards, ian
Congrats!
I have been thinking about this watch as well. I just hope it won't be too small for my 7.5" wrist...
My wrist is about 7.3"
The bezel construct and silve/white face made the watch wear larger than its actual 39.5 diameter. I am especially sensitive to size as some of my favourite pieces were 44mm and above (eg a pam 190, a vintage ploprof etc) but I find it just right, especia...
Thanks for the advise
Yeah, that is what I was worried about. I have a Speedmaster 9300 (which is also 44mm) so I am curious to see how this will look on my wrist. I am going to an AD this next week.
Congrats Chye for your superb chronograph!
I'm glad to read that you listened to my advice, lol... but the most important is what your heart said. Fx
