A. Lange & Söhne

And he is so true!

Each time I see the Langematik Anniversary, it is the same song... Errrr... Feeling.

I had the pleasure and the pain to wear it for a while, during the last SIHH, thanks ( or because.... ) of our friend Patrice.

I think this is my favourite Lange, and that I prefer it to the Datograph, which means a lot.

A great watch must have a great movement, a superb dial and a nice case.

Obviously, the Langematik Anniversary has all these assets.











Best,

Nicolas

And I hope that you will have it back to your collection soon.

I had the opportunity to see this one in the metal for he first time just a couple of weeks ago, and I was duely impressed.  I still have quite a learning curve ahead of me with regard to Lange, but even I can appreciate how nice this one is. 

Thanks for sharing some lovely photos of this materialization of your pleasure and pain.

The depth, the silky / milky look of the dial, its charm are evident in the real, though.

Trying it is adopting it.

Evn if the dial has some imperfections, that adds to its charm and appeal.

Yes, a great watch.

Best,

Nicolas

I also once owned the Anniversary, but in a weak moment, let it go, and almost immediately regreted it.  Fortunately, not too long ago, basically by just being at the right place at the right time to take a phone call, I was able to replace it.  Everything that you have said about the watch is true, and, yes, pictures don't do it justice. I also prefer it over the Dato, and even over my 1815 Chrono.

Certainly my " next " Lange....

Not as iconic as a Datograph, but hey, this " Anniversary " has so mcuh pwer and charm!

Hi Nico

Your photos are superb.  Some of the best I have seen for the watch.  But in the flesh, it is even better.  It is hard to describe how mesmerizing is the enamel dial.  Is it my favorite Lange?  Beating the Double Split and Dato Perpetual?  Hmmmmm.  Does a Griottes Chambertin beat a Musigny or Richebourg?  Get back to you on that one.

Words and pictures are not enough to fully describe the charm of this watch.

Nicolas, it was all your original posts on this watch that drove me to lust, search, and own. I can't thank you enough. I trust that when you are ready, you will network to a beauty to own again. 

Thanks for your very kind words, Joe. These are the best compliment you could give me!

Best,

Nicolas, on the hunt!

 

In my case, I have been suffering for four months, of which the last two weeks was my own deliberate extension, from which by tomorrow, my horological Lange pain will translate into pleasure -

Anniversary Langematik has been my favorite watch. This means if I could have only one watch for the rest of my life, I would choose Anniversary Langematik. This means... a lot, to me.

I am more into "reasonnable" size and the Anniversary along the 1815 Moonphase platinum are the best you can hope for such watches.
The only thing is that I got a heart attack when trying the Platinum Moonphase and it didn't happen with the Anniversary. Many times I thought it can't be possible not to fall in love with such a watch, a Lange in platinum with an enamel dial and the most beautiful automatic caliber since a long long time, everything is at its best in a modern watch.
I admire that watch, but it doesn't work on me. The only explanation I could find is that my heart is sometimes stupid.

cheers

Honestly, if I had to choose two watches from Lange, it would be the Anniversary and the 1815 MP Pt.

Without any doubt.

Best,

Nicolas

thanks for the great pictures, a serene piece but so alluring! Hope you get one back soon, Andreas
