Clueless_Collector shares his recent acquisitions of A. Lange & Söhne timepieces, reflecting on 2019 as a bountiful year for mechanical wonders. The post celebrates the excitement of watch collecting amidst new releases and collaborations, showcasing his growing collection with stunning imagery.

2019 has been kind to me with these mechanical wonders.

Year is not over but with brands announcing new releases ad hoc, not waiting for major shows/events, mini-collaborations with retailers etc, watch collecting has never been so exciting.

Looking forward to more goodies to come.

Key Points from the Discussion

The passion for watch collecting can be generational, with children sometimes rediscovering interest in their parents' collections as they mature.
Collecting can become a family affair, with spouses and children developing their own collections across various esteemed brands like Omega, IWC, Rolex, Cartier, JLC, and Vacheron Constantin.
Wrist size and shape significantly impact how a watch wears, with some collectors finding 38.5mm ideal, while others can comfortably wear a wider range from 36mm to 44mm, prioritizing 'look' over perfect fit.
The collecting journey can quickly escalate into an 'addiction,' with collectors rapidly accumulating multiple pieces from favored brands within a few years.
The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph and the 1815 with blue dial, moonphase, and stars are highlighted as particularly desirable models within the brand's offerings.

Thanks Raymond, that's a correct (and interesting) consideration! I've never seen the dial of the second ALS and it's extremely attractive, was it made for a special occasion? Cheers. [nt]

You're welcome Fab. The 2nd one is the 1815 Boutique Edition Chrono, released back in 2015 to celebrate 200th year of the founder, still a current production. [nt]

Great year indeed! Wonderful choices!

A very nice variety of Langes! It would very difficult to pick a favorite from those three. Do you have one?

Hopefully I can get a nice RL or ZW in future to round up the collection family. Thanks DarrenKats.
