Sascha presents a captivating photo essay from a 'Sunday Lange Summit Meeting,' showcasing an impressive array of A. Lange & Söhne timepieces. His post provides side-by-side comparisons, notably between the Datograph Flyback and the imposing Lange 31, offering readers a rare glimpse into the brand's diverse and technically sophisticated collection. Sascha also hints at an upcoming article focused on the Lange 31, promising deeper insights into this unique reference.
The Lange 31 looks ( and is ) enormous! That was the big con for me, when I tried it several times. But I love the concept. As for the Datograph / Langematik perpetual pair, this is such a killing duo. Two champions in their respective category. Thanks for the post, Sascha. Nicolas
The watch was very important for Lange technically speaking to prepare the Zeitwerk with the constant force constraints but I don't see the point to achieve such power reserve, I mean I don't see what it brings to clients. As a wise man said, so you want an unlimited power reserve? Buy an automatic watch. LOL A very rare bird in the Lange collection what makes it so special. Fx
But it stays in your mind. Best, Nicolas
He told me it was really to prove they could do it and go that way i.e. the very long power reserve while remaining constant in the acccuracy. So, I imagine the longer the power reserve with keeping accuracy is and the better was the work of the watchmakers team. More a Showcase than a real watch made to sell. Me think )
Very different layout, though the same DNA. But what is the most interesting is the movements diversity. The Lange 31 article will be very interesting to read. Cheers, Mark
The movement picture Sascha showed is a really superb example of the values of Lange that I love. What I would be interested to see, is the number of models in a range vs the number of different movements used across the range. Lange don't have a HUGE stable of watches, like many other brands. But what I find is that they don't seem to take the easy road, i.e. using just one or two movements across their range. There isn't a weak movement at all at Lange. Thanks for the pics, a great collection.
