A. Lange & Söhne

I have a question for anyone who attended the SIHH and saw the new honey gold colored watches in person, as no matter how good a photograph might be, it's been my experience that the appearance of something may differ when actually viewed in person.  My question is, based upon your observation, to which of the standard Lange metals is the honey gold metal closest in color and appearance, the YG or the PG?  Thank you. 

Have yet to see the material in the metal, but i have heard that under certain lighting conditions the metal is almost white, so when Lange refers to it being honey coloured, i don'T think it's so much of it being like pure natural honey, but more like honey dissolved in water, that light colour with the tinge of brown, i believe that this is what Lange refers to!

Consider it as a mix between pink and white gold. At the end, it is closer to PG because it is not a neutral color.

Merci beaucoup Francois Xavier.  As you have actually seen the watch (I loved your post and pictures) I really appreciate your observations.  I am seriously considering purchasing one of the honey gold pieces and, as I always wear a deployant, was pondering which color of clasp would work best with the watch, as to the best of my knowledge, there are no plans to produce a honey gold deployant.  As I have a PG clasp just gathering dust, this is a good thing.  While it won't be a perfect match, from what you report, it should be close enough.

a very interesting colour.....

Cannot wait to see it in up close....

Hopefully it is a warm colour and understating at the same time....

Cheers

As far as I know and heard from Lange Boutique, honey gold deployant buckle has not been produced yet. According to the boutique, the metal is too hard and they are having tough time to make one.

Thanks for this insight!

And sumimasen again for not being able to meet up!

Stephen

No problem, my friend!
Next time, probably when I have been transferred back permanently, let us meet up anytime!

Ken

I do hope though that when you come back, the irony is NOT that i will be back home in Indonesia!

Cheers

The yellow gold watches looked VERY YELLOW compared with the honey colored gold.
I liked the look a lot being a white metal person.
