In a captivating post, lm6 introduces a unique A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph, a special commission for the Concorso d'Eleganza. This article delves into the community's enthusiastic reception of this salmon-dialed masterpiece, exploring its potential impact on future Lange collections and the broader luxury watch market.
A unique piece from Lange to be presented to the winner of the Concorsa d'eleganza. This 1815 Chrono is an absolute stunner! At least to my eyes. One can only hope that they will include something like this in the permanent collection! Picture from Monochrome.
Key Points from the Discussion
- The 1815 Chronograph's design is highly praised, with its comfortable wrist presence and the choice of a salmon dial generating significant excitement among collectors.
- The exclusivity of this unique piece, awarded to a car show winner rather than an established collector, sparks discussion about brand allocation strategies and potential collector frustration, despite its legitimacy.
- There's a strong desire among collectors for A. Lange & Söhne to incorporate more color, particularly salmon dials, into their standard production models, moving beyond the prevalent white and black dials.
- Collectors speculate on ideal color combinations for salmon dials, suggesting tone-on-tone variations or even unconventional pairings like green subdials for a 'funky but cool' aesthetic.
- A question is raised regarding A. Lange & Söhne's historical custom caseback options, specifically for engravings and officer/hunter casebacks, indicating collector interest in personalization.
- The discussion touches upon the broader trend in luxury goods where access to highly desirable pieces is increasingly restricted to a select clientele, regardless of purchasing power.
