A. Lange & Söhne

…simple, elegant, effortless 👍🏻

in the ALS catalog, imo. Absolutely exquisite. Perfect size. Great refinement and a 3/4 plate movement with apparent crown and ratchet wheels if I remember well.
Best, Emmanuel

…but executed to perfection, in true ALS fashion

captivating isn’t that easy.

would it be this or your Breguet 5177?!

enamel dial, Breguet hands and numerals, is absolutely gorgeous, unfortunately, the Breguet lugs makes it wearing way too large on my tiny wrist.

Those long luds make the watch wear large. I believe the lug to lug is between 47 and 47.5mm ie each lug is 4.5mm to 4.75mm long which is too long. I have a small wrist too and the watch just about fits me because those straight long lugs are sloping downwards.

…if I really had to pick, I might go with the Breguet because I just love their numerals and hands, plus the black enamel dial is stunning

I would opt for the Breguet too which I am seriously considering on buying too.

Not only is this a truly stunning looking beautiful watch but A.Lange & Sohne receive huge bonus credit from me for calling a watch that is just 5.9mm thin a thin watch and not an Ultra Thin watch although it could easily be classed as Extra Thin. When so many other Grand Maisons that will not be named yet call watches much thicker Ultra Thin their honesty in not just adding a false descriptor to help sales is refreshing and deserves added respect IMHO.

Trifecta

Elegant, and low key.

amongst all my watches ❤️

The 72-hour power reserve in this calibre became the model for Lange to build off with others. And the micro-beveled teeth on the gear-train are found on few other Lange calibres at any level of complication.

…and the winding feel is simply delightful
