G'Day,

long awaited (with unintended teasers meanwhile) the compendium of news and views, which together represent the new model year by A. Lange & Söhne for 2009, can be seen at the Lange website (2009 debuts):

Litte Lange 1 Moonphase

 

 

1815 range

 

Greetings from Geneva,

Peter

Looks the business. Or do I wait for a black dial in pt???

Thanks Peter!

Edwin

that Little Lange One is by far the best looking one yet... at least IMHO. The prior ones were just a teeny bit too fanciful/trendy to my wife. I think this one can finally pose a threat as a legitimate contender to lady's watch held for the past few years by Breguet's Queen of Naples and GP's Cat Eye... Thanks again for sharing!!

looks great. I love blued steel hands. I like watches in Pt but it's too bad that the Pt. version don't come in blued steel hands.

Until know nearly everybody votes for the WG with blue hands.

To me it looks like the "old" 1815 PT. Now you get the same look in WG.

The "stealth" look of the new 1815 PT inspires me. Classic, charming, understated, ...

My old steel PP Ref. 96 comes to my mind - which I like very much. Or what´s about the charming PP 5196P, but even better with a fitting movement ;-)

BUT, we all have to see them in metal before our final statement ;-)

Oliver

but many of us present here have this blued steel hands fetish

:-D

I'm not sure how easy the pt version is to read as the hands are a similar color to the dial. The advantage of the wg version is the contrast of the blued steel hands, in addition to the fact that this seems to be the most traditional look as well.

I go for (pure) beauty.

Hey, we talk about watches in a time nobody needs one. When you saw me looking at my watch, don´t ask me about the time. LOL

Cheers
Oliver

so elegant.

LOL

Thanks
Oliver

As much as i love blued steel hands too, in this case where a Pt case exists along a white gold version, there is NO WAY i'm going to get the WG, the Pt for me!

Plus a surprise...

I will prepare my report when I will be back to Paris.

 

 

SS Tourbograph "Pour le Merite"?

;-D

Looking forward to your report FX - how was dinner tonight?

Edwin

but doesn't seem very satsifying to reintroduce basically the same watch plus 3 or 4 mm, even if the movement has been enlarged.  I like a 40mm watch very much, but this one looks better in the original smaller case.

Enlarging watches just for the sake of enlarging watches doesn't do much for me.

I saw them in the flesh in Geneva.

The pt RL PLM is out of this world. I tried it on and it is probably the best looking piece out there in my view.

The new size of the 1815 is also spot on. I was worried that the 40 mm size might be on the larger size. boy was I wrong. it is perfect.

The datograph perpertual in WG is also amazingly balanced. the red on the grey dial makes it all the more special....

did not take a single photo... Francois -Xavier did !!!!

I was too selfishly busy trying on every watch on display  !!!
