A. Lange & Söhne

Robin pointed this out to me and I saw the pics on the ALS Facebook page.  I am quite smitten. Thought I'd share the pics. This message has been edited by ianny on 2014-09-23 10:25:01

Love the dial and case combination.

A cherry on the nice cake...

I like it, to say the least.

There is an absolutely rave review on Hodinkee today. ALS seems to have another winner.

and I always wanted to see a white gold edition.

Thanks a lot for the news Ian, I love it !

Cheers, Mark

Ahh beautiful interpretation of a very nice Lange PC.. winner in my eyes.

If only they matched the Lange 1 and Cabaret Darth in having black date disc with white numbers; but that's only an observation.

I look forward to someone here taking some live shots

Also looking forward to seeing what they unveil at the NYC boutique opening

That really gets me racing. More affordable, great features, including the advance all functions with one pusher, the zero reset, and needless to see black. I own too many black Lange and I just love them.   I am hoping to get to NYC opening Thursday. I hope it's there!

I would be nice to finally meet you.

White case - black dial : this is a great combination for that watch.

Really like that model and that is a great version. Glad to see they continue the line,

Sometimes i wonder if this forum is only populated by like-minded aliens or if ALL the general public will LOVE this version.

I had the privilege of seeing the new WG Langematik Perpetual in the metal at the NY Boutique opening Thursday evening.  Truly a gorgeous piece.  I was interested to see that the dial is actually a very dark gray rather than black.  Side by side with a Datograph one can see that the WG LP is not as dark.  Darker than the WG Dato Perpetual though, so I would not describe the dial as "gray". Especially beautiful also is the cobalt blue color of the moonphase sky.

Now, I ma intrigued with this black almost grey dark dial. I would have preferred deep black.

The other variations of this pp calendar are also certainly gorgeous but the steps on the dial and the resulting unsymmetrical look were always a bit "annoying" to me.

Compared to Pateks all black annual 5205 g and pp 5139 calendar this one will still have the overhand as it will be much more legible due to the non-reflecting sapphire and the use of luminous material.

The only other "annoying" bit in this pp is the 24h sub dial.

It makes setting the watch easier but I do not like "intuitive" time display, a second time display next to the central.

The triangle sub dials that are used in the Timezone and the Dato pp are a genius idea of Lange and I do not understand why Lange does not use them as a "trade mark" feature in watches where a second time display is needed.

Therefore I favour Pateks 5146: no 24h sub dial which would suit their 5396 also well. 

 

So to recap: Lange pp calendar, Patek 5205, Patek 5139, Lange Timezone, Dato pp, Patek 5146, Patek 5396 ... I think I did not miss a watch in this context .
