Both are great dress watches and you can’t go wrong with either
But I personally will go for the L1 because it has more personality and it’s an iconic watch. The beautiful Lange movement is also a bonus. The Traditionnelle although nice doesn’t have a strong enough identity, at least that’s how I feel.
VC Traditionnelle pt. vs. Lange 1 pt.
I have a hard time deciding between them. What is your preference? Thank you for viewing. fernando ...
Lange 1 looks more visually interesting on the dial side ...
Any side-by-side movement pics?
I'll be the (authentic) contrarian here then....
and say the Vacheron. It is simply even more elegant and timeless, despite the L1 boasting its fair share of classically good aesthetics.... Overall, I'm just a VC person, as opposed to an ALS person .... Great image, cheers, Filip
The VC Traditionelle as first choice. Ridiculously simple and elegant.
But if you prefer complications or more “filled” dials the Lange.
My choice will be the VC traditionnelle plat ..
simply because I am "old school" .. to me it is the epitome of an elegant gentleman's watch - manual wind, time only (without of any complication) with petite second... .. the big date and PR are distractions imho
VC for me
if one can have only one, it would be the VC for me - due to its „less is more“ philosophy and impeccable execution. Must confess that it is a close call, and I was very close to buying a Lange1 darth (platinum black dial) 🤔 But I guess the conclusion is ...
As a dress and functional wear,it would be the vc for me,simply more elegant
sorry for the duplicate post
Ahh, the darth 😒
Nico, same here: As mentioned above, I came very close to pulling the trigger on a Pt/black … and now kind of regret now when I look back. But as I read on this site (?), collecting is choosing & learning to say no 🤨, isn’t?
The tables have turned: 6 for Lange & 9 for VC.
This should follow Gelato Monster's post.
It’s personal choice
Both are great watches. Personally, i am a sucker for simple dials - so it’s the traditionelle for me.
Lange 1 for me
Lange 1 stealth for me! Lange is classic but also different at the same time in my opinion...
VC for me
I am biased as I tried to buy one a few months back (now discontinued). To me it is the epitome of class- the case shape is interesting, beautiful dauphine hands, the slate dial, the railroad markings on the minute and seconds rings. Just top class dress ...
The VC for me
More versatile, and more readable! I find the Stealth harder to read as the contrast is less. Now if the Lange had blued hands…
What a classy duo
They perfectly complement each other so why spoil the harmony by picking one? Best Andreas
It depends on your intent.
The Vacheron is much thinner and fits discreetly under a cuff. The thinness makes it very comfortable. The Lange with date and longer power reserve is more of a daily wearer. I like having a date indication most days. I have a soft spot for VC and that wo...

They're sufficiently different watches to free each one from an either-or dilemma.
I do like the monochromatic theme, however. It makes them look like a proper, complementary duo.
Lange 1 - no contest for me.
VC is undeniably lovely but Lange 1 Is a true modern Horology icon (maybe top 10 designs of all time)
