My wrist and a Lange for the first time..
I scoured NYC in search of trying on and hopefully purchasing my first Lange. I stopped in at Wempe and was able to see a few beautiful pieces.. The Lange 1 Moonphase and Datograph. The Saxonia Annual Calendar and 1815 I was able to see in Boston. Going in, I had my mind set that I wanted the Saxonia Annual Calendar. But now I am not sure if the 38.5mm is too small? The Saxonia Annual Calendar was the frontrunner going in.. unfortunately, the case seemed a little on the small side, the dial although beautiful in pictures didn't strike me as much in person and wasn't as legible as I thought (maybe because the case was so small to my eyes). And the lugs were awkwardly big in comparison to such a small case. I liked the Lange 1 Moonphase but still thought it was a bit on the small side and the dial didn't strike me as much as it did in pictures. Surprisingly the Datograph was my least favorite, a bit too busy for my eyes. Although no Annual Calendar or Perpetual, which I originally thought I wanted.. I loved the fit and look of the 40mm 1815 in RG. I really didn't consider it as an option as I thought I was more interested in a complicated timepiece.. However, the size felt great and I really enjoyed the simplicity and Arabic numerals. I think for me the 1815 will be the perfect simple first dress Lange. I left without making a purchase, but I gained much more knowledge and hopefully will weigh the pro's and con's and come to enjoy my first Lange soon! Now for some pictures:
