A. Lange & Söhne

Lange Folks,

As I do not yet have one

I have, however, mostly narrowed down to two models... the pink gold Richard Lange you so nicely capture, and the grey dial white gold L1.  I feel as though the L1 is more the "essence" of AL&S, but just cannot stop thinking about the RL.  It is perhaps the finest hours/minutes/seconds watch i have ever laid eyes on.

But so as to play along, I will show what I will wear, which is practically a polar opposite to either of the Langes I am considering.

 

MichaelC,

I know you have been ithching on RL for sometime.

It is totally another thing than your CarbonAP stuff.You will not regret buying a RL,take my words.Timeless enjoyment and timeless of admiration these are the words i can think of.

My RL was the first piece to Malaysia.I have seen the actual watch during my SIHH visit two years back.I was hesistate to have one despite handled it during the SIHH on that juncture.This feeling was mainly due to its price against its simplicity.But after sometime back,the emotion that witnessed and handled the watch back in SIHH hadoverpowered my consiousness......there it went,straight a phone call to the AD summoun him for the first piece which arrive.

By the way,congratulation on this hot cakes.

I hadn't thought of what to wear come Monday, but I guess you've now help me decide.

Rez,

Sometime back,i was wondering whether to get the saxonia or langematik saxonia or the grand one.

My AD provided me with the Grand Langematik Saxonia RG in black.All i can say is "irresistable".Rg is always beautifull with black.back then,the langematik with big date had the wording writen irregularly instead of the normal one.that's the onlt thing that let me passed on the watch.

Glad that,i help you decide on your monday's choice.....

......Happy Monday to you and may you whole week feel with happy and laughter.

You got the special 1815 Chrono?

Then, my choice for next monday...

Dear Sir Nicolas,

Vision help us pull through many obstacles,vision gives us hopes to survive,vision makes us dream to come through,all in all vision keeps us alive.

that's why you have so many pieces,because you dare to dream,you make vision,my friend.

I love reversos but do not own one.I wanted to get the perpetual which you put up,but out of reach.Look at the normal 8 days/big date,feel not liking it.Put on the squadra big date and chrono and feel too clumsy...Hmmm.....there go dreaming again.LOLOL...

thanks.

Hi Fr.Xavier,

We have the best chrono around the market.

I must admitt after looking at your wrist shot with close-up,the normal 1815chrono has it own beauty  which the one i have does not posseses.The dial work,although the one i have ia rare but chrono watch usual asthetic are not in art work but rather in the expression form of speed.Do you understand me?

Wear it in the best of everything.

Today I enjoyed my Platinum FA Jones from IWC

 

 

This is a very nice piece,traditionnaly made with its enamel dial, its old in house movement, the hands etc...

Love it...

Best.

Nicolas

Hi there,

FA Jones in pt.I am a big fan of IWC too.

Such a classical out look but with the modern size,it really blends a simple beauty beyond words.

Congrats.

Makes one appreciate the Regulateur format even more, an often unappreciated form of precision timekeeping. Thanks for sharing!!

The regulators are so under appreciated...

I wonder why.

Their Esthetic?

The difficulty to easily read the hour, at the beginning?

Don't know, but they ere interesting watches, I think, and original too.

Best.

nicolas

I think not due to aesthetics but more the difficulty of "reading".

I think the key to appreciating these Regulators is to set the mindset that these are precision chronometers and as such, the main focus of the eyes/attention should be on the minute hand as opposed to focussing on the entire watch/hour AND minute hands per say. Once this mindset is incorporated, I would imagine that appreciation for this form of watches would increase.

hi there,

For decade,the mind set are fix as what you mentioned,therefore its difficult and troublesome people have to read the time measured the other way round.

That would be the case even when we shorten the minutes hand and prolong the hour hand,there goes the confusion again.

Take care!
