In a captivating thread, donizetti explores the concept of a 'lucky watch,' proposing his A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual as a potential candidate due to its horological significance and business-appropriate aesthetic. This discussion delves into the personal connections collectors forge with their timepieces, examining how certain watches become imbued with sentimental value and perceived good fortune. donizetti's initial post invites the community to reflect on their own experiences with watches that transcend mere timekeeping to become talismans.

I haven't *yet* but I have a very important work event tonight and if it goes well I think I will promote the Datograph Perpetual to this role. I guess it should be horologically interesting enough that I will keep it long term and wearable in a business context and this watch ticks both those boxes. What about you?

but you can consider yourself very lucky to have such a beauty on your wrist. Metal bracelet Langes exude an air of 'ultimate' watch like a Mercedes 600 does.

A lucky watch, luck to have the grail. Yes. So i have no rush at all. I have my beloved ones and a fantastic cat. A fast car and be a member of a great watch community who understand luxury watches as it should be. Not only the famous brands, also the rare and independents.
