Accuracy and Design
A competition in accuracy between the CS and RL would be very close and hard for me to differentiate. I appreciate Marcel's observation on number of pieces used. What I find interesting here is the two different approaches taken. The Richard Lange IMHO is all about the movement (the dial remains classic and understated). With the CS the design of the dial came first which added another level of complexity to a watch focused primarily on precision timekeeping. In comparison I prefer the CS for this reason. The RL while a wonderful piece comes in second place to my CS which combines accuracy and design.

CS vs Richard Lange ( Accuracy Consideration)
Dear forum members, Accuracy is one of the reasons for virtually every component and feature of a mechanical watch. And we are lucky enough that watchmakers at Journe and A. Lange have worked hard to develop timepieces with accuracy standards that are mor...

In rough translation: Never multiply entities beyond necessity. The CS (I own one) produces tremendous accuracy at approximately 140 parts. The Lange requires at least 50 parts more to achieve the same approximate result. I personally think that the answe...

…simple biological systems. In nature the simplest solution is often the most efficient (although in disease, redundancy can be useful). The CS is therefore the essence of a chronometer and it’s a darn good looking watch as well! I find your logic emotion...
Interesting thoughts / inputs...
Thanks Marcel and Andrew for your thoughts. Anyone here owns both CS and RL? If I remember correctly Brad owns both pieces and I would love to hear his ownership experiece. FYI-- I posted same topic on another FPJ forum. Some interesting inputs / thoughts...

a power reserve (where its hardest to place it) and still has a far lower parts count. To me that shows outstanding design while maintaining the highest aesthetics. P.S. I really like the RL anyway, but as Brad concludes it simply comes in 2nd place to th...

th sample of One is king. I only owned one of each FPJ CS and ALS Richard Lange. if a sample size of 1 piece of each but 1 user with identical usage will count: FPJ CS averaged +21 sec/day..... BAD ALS Richard Lange averaged +4 sec/day..... GOOD Have sold...

In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Desiderius Erasmus (1466 - 1536) , Adagia (III, IV, 96) Hi Melvyn, Erasmus seems to have beaten you to it, but I am enjoying your variations on this proverb. Do you have more? Andrew

Thanks Melvyn, For some reason I always credited that quote to Charlie Brown, but I can't seem to locate the original version. Perhaps it was you after all! From now on I will reference MTF. A
