Horological Meandering

Whenever I travel more than two weeks, I always take two watches, and these are the ones that made the cut for the festive season. Which I am spending in the UK (Somerset) and France (Lorraine). I feel I have all bases covered, between a rugged every day ...  

Happy holidays!

How do you like that versus the strap it comes with. It looks more casual

The OEM Lange strap in black alligator is very stiff, and I quickly swapped it for a custom made Camille Fournet in navy alligator with a rubber lining. But even then, I found it a bit delicate and uncomfortable in the HK humidity and heat. This Nomos str... 

I may try that. I actually don’t wear my ALS in the warmer months due to the uncomfortable feeling of the heat and humidity. 😢 This is a solid solution. Although yours in white metal is more versatile and can be dressed down easier than mine in red metal.... 

*may* have a change at pulling it off on red gold case 🤷🏻‍♂️

I suspect this dark blue color would marry red gold pretty well. The only issue would be to find a 20mm red gold plated buckle to match it. Unless you don’t mind the buckle not matching the case.

A dark brown textile strap may fit the bill as well

And the up/down is an all-time great Lange - love what you did with the strap.

A strong German duo. Always interesting to see what could be a viable two watch collection and these choices definitely are a strong pair. Enjoy the holiday period.

Sure, your two German travel watches are not Swiss made. When i would travel i take a Swiss watch and a Japanese watch. It is a coincidenze both are GMT’s and my only GMT’s. Perfect in crowded cities. As i take a third watch for travel, think about dinner...  

They are to be found on the Nomos Club line, which has cases similar in design to that of the 1815. So when I was browsing Nomos online catalogue, I went: “Hang on, those fabric straps would loog good on my Lange too”.

and great straps, whish they had quick change, I would be so scared of scratching my watch during strap change
