A. Lange & Söhne

Most likely the first in the world...

... this one has been delivered so far?

Photo credit belongs to a good friend mine who is also an avid Lange fan but this one goes to another lucky collector. I was unfortunately not there to feel or see it myself, but according to him, the actual one was far better and solemn than the mock-up we have all seen or handled.

Congrats, new owner, for the year-end present for yourself!

The first box (on top is the outer cover)

And the smaller second box which is...

Full of these....?

Wow, very nice wooden winder box!

The instruction manual is without any photo and feels "solemn".

And, this time, there is a detailed instruction manual for the winder box as well.

PS: This was shipped via a chartered flight from Dresden.... the rumor says

VERY NICE!

Have a great year end and a happy new year!

Best,
Ken

I think you are right...

And I also believe this one is the first to be delivered. We heard this rumour at the same place. ;) Thanks Ken for the pics! Fx

Would have liked to see it with my own eyes!

... :-(

Thank you KIH

She is wonderful :-) -- Richard.

Have to see and touch to believe it...

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-02:33

.. I guess!

Well, if that was my piece...

By: Enriguf : December 29th, 2012-22:00

... I certainly wouldn't have it be shipped via a postal service! A watch like that deserves it's own seat on a plane ;) Enrique

Can't agree more :-) [nt]

Super!

By: sidneyc : December 29th, 2012-23:51

Amazing watch - the lucky first owner in the world must be super excited! The watch box is gorgeous - I think Lange should use a wooden box for all its watches! Look what they can do!

They may be changing it to the wooden boxes...

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-02:34

...? That would be really gorgeous and I would like that! Ken

Wow--Lucky friend!!

By: Highlander65 : December 30th, 2012-03:52

Happy New Year and amazing piece!! Thanks for sharing! Cheers,

Unfortunately, I don't know the owner so well..

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-06:30

.. so, it is not likely that I can report more on this :-( But it seems that it is really something! Thanks! Ken

thanks for the report

By: donizetti : December 30th, 2012-04:37

and congratulations to the lucky owner! The clean dial on this piece is really quite an achievement. Kudos Lange! Andreas

Hello my friend....

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-06:31

.. Andreas, yes, I wish I could see and handle it myself one day! Best, Ken

Wooden box

By: Soul_wolfin : December 30th, 2012-08:45

Hi , Just wanted to hear if the Lange 1 tourbillon comes in that super wooden box or is it just used as a winder and the watch is in another watchbox? Kind regards Flemming

The watch comes in...

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-16:22

.. the gorgeous wooden box which happens to be the winder box, too, as far as I understand it.... Nice! Ken

These are photos you will not see often.

By: BABKA : December 30th, 2012-12:48

Thanks for sharing! Congrats to your friend!

That's right...

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-16:23

.. Congrats to him and thank you! Ken

That was quick, must be a first. [nt]

By: Ed. W : December 30th, 2012-17:49

That's confirmed... :-)

By: KIH : December 30th, 2012-19:20

99 more to be delivered! Ken

At first I thought you were opening an electric toothbrush...

By: jeffrey2 : December 30th, 2012-20:57

But then I realized what this actually was. It's beautiful... almost brought tears to my eyes. The complications of perpetual calendar and tourbillon aren't particularly new to any of us, but I love the execution and the clean Lange interpretation. Beside...

Glad to hear that!

By: KIH : December 31st, 2012-20:03

Go for it :-) You won't regret it. Ken

First one I've heard of...

By: patrick_y : December 31st, 2012-16:44

Amazing. Thanks for sharing Ken!

Yeah, prettty surprising to me, too!

By: KIH : December 31st, 2012-20:04

That was a quick one - must have been rushed by the new owner? Must be a very good customer, I guess... :-) Happy new year, Patrick! Ken

Great gigantic piece!

By: BluNotte : January 3rd, 2013-16:44

Congrats to the new owner, and may he, or she wear it in the best of health! And lol, where did you go to my friend? For the 1st time you're NOT there for a collection? Tschuss Stephen
