A. Lange & Söhne

A.Lange VIP collectors dinner at Watches and Wonders 2014

In Hong Kong, I was fortunate enough to be invited by Lange Singapore to join a cosy dinner hosted by Lange for their collectors in the region.

Mr Wilhelm Schmid hosted the dinner for us.

It was a great dinner with great food and wine, great company with very knowledgable collectors and mgt staff from Lange.

The novelties from W&W 2014 were showcased too and here are some pics to share .

Sorry I only had my iPhone with me and the dining room was dark. Hopefully we can still see the guilloche of these 20th anniversary Lange 1 sets from the pics.

Special thanks to Michelle, Frank, Aun and Terrence from Lange Singapore and APAC for the fun company that night

Enjoy!

Cheers

Robin

And some pics of the food and drinks. Sigh... Life as a moderator is really hard ! :p

But after a whole day of running around the booths, such a nice dinner with friends and collectors really recharges me for the next day!

You know how I am feeling so well Nicolas!

I just arrived in Singapore and am exhausted! Slept throughout the flight almost! I slept only 4 hours for the past 3 days with all those dinners, partying post dinner with friends and then posting articles after the partying! :p Going to zzzz the rest of...

A moderator's life. ;) Get some rest, my friend and thanks for your superb reports. [nt]

Great shots af the anniversary models

As I was expecting: the RG ones are fab! Interesting that the WG blue dialled looks nearly black indoors. Best Moritz

Thanks Moritz!

I wished I have a better camera. My iPhone is not great in darker rooms. Agree the blue dial WG version's blue color looks different in various lighting. Sometimes more blue, sometimes quite black/grey looking. Many stated the blue/WG version was their fa...

The "Darth 2.0" is missing! Who is in charge ...

By: small-luxury-world : October 2nd, 2014-04:31

of that? Thefts? ... Don´t tell me it was a fellow Purist :-) Just finished lunch, but now I am hungry again. Thanks! Cheers, Oliver

Darth 2.0... was indeed missing!

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 2nd, 2014-20:40

Someone bought the display piece maybe LOL! I think it happened to be on another table when I was looking at the rest. Good spot Oliver! Cheers robin

Thanks for the report.......

By: TonyR : October 4th, 2014-10:21

Looks like it was a good time. Its nice to see all the new Lange 1's there, from the photos the blue dials look to be my favorite. Tony

Thanks Tony! I like the blue dial WG too

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 5th, 2014-02:48

I only wish the date window is in blue too and not white. Blue with white fonts like the darth :) Cheers Robin

"wish the date window is in blue too and not white"

By: small-luxury-world : October 5th, 2014-02:58

Me too, from day one :-) That was the main reason why I had to go for the Darth, at least in the beginning. In the "tradition" of ALS you can get this only with a platinum case. Let´s see for how long they will stick to it ... By the way, there was one me...

so far only Darth right?

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 6th, 2014-04:11

With black date window with a black dial. Is there another Oliver? Wow that lucky staff ! I assume he had a rare rg with black dial Lange 1 and he got the date window changed to black from white? Thanks for the info Oliver! Cheers Robin

No wrist shot of the diamond Langes?

By: BABKA : October 8th, 2014-22:08

Thanks for sharing though!

the ladies grabbed them before I could ! :)

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 9th, 2014-20:55

Kidding. I feel weird with diamonds on my wrist lol Cheers Robin

Robin, did you manage to get the scissors cutting art work?

By: lhk1 : October 10th, 2014-20:55

The artist was specially arranged by Lange to perform scissors cutting art pieces for guess. Unfortunately, due to constraint of time, not all guess could get her work in time. Agreed. Lange hosted wonderful dinner. Regards Ling

Yep I got it Ling

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : October 11th, 2014-00:15

It was in the goody bag given when we were leaving. The art work was intricate. I can't remember where I left it now though! Maybe in my office :p Cheers Robin

You could even request her to cut your Chinese Zodiac for you.
