I hope you enjoy your stay in the city. Your pictures are great, its much easier to take them without a party going on! It looks like a decent percentage of the watches there are being borrowed from a collector?

Lange New York Boutique Visit!
Belatedly (I missed the opening event, I missed the Oktober Fest, the day before yesterday), I could finally visit A. Lange & Sohne New York Boutique.
On Madison, between 66th and 67th.
Gaetan says it took more than a few years to find the suitable location.
Obviously, a different approach for a Lange boutique.
There is the second floor, and the famous wall clock is here.
The same fixtures.....
This is new
Ah, and the kitchen cabinet
Display case is a bit different, too.
On the wall are the movements of Lange ever made - this is new!
They didn't have this special NY Boutique Edition, yet.
... and on the second floor are....
Here it is. Notice a bit of difference from most of other boutiques in other regions.

Now, showing wonderful pieces borrowed from a private collector, just for now..... Wow!
Sorry for bad color - this is PT, blue dial original PLM.

And looking down where I entered and looked up.
This is the second floor space.
And on the other hand (near the stairs) is the watchmaker's bench where someone from Germany will sit on weekdays to handle customer service.
Secret door to the second floor
They use lots of natural lights, on both floors. Very nice idea.
And, hard-to-find pieces in their stock.
Surely, even the desk has ALS logo.
It was so very nice to see you, Gaetan, and congratulations to have such a wonderful boutique! Will stop buy whenever I visit NY.

Special thanks to Gaetan and Lange USA, Lange NY Boutique Staff (including but not limited to Lindsey), Lange Japan who has coordinated with them, and Alkis and Stacy, of course.
A very nice boutique, indeed.
Many thanks!

Thanks a lot Ken for the wonderful report!
Your pictures really show the specific lay-out of the boutique and the nice decoration details. And you were welcomed by Gaetem himself!
Thanks a lot for the report!

That NYC boutique is looking good. Definitely going to be one of my stops next time I'm in NYC.
Thanks Ken.......

We were very lucky to have Gaetan in charge of the French Market.
We deeply miss him.
Thanks for the report, Ken.
Best,

but still to me it is a great piece.
Many thanks for the pics.

Thank You Ken
Thanks for the very thorough report and the great photos Ken. I was at the opening when the boutique was packed with people and pictures were impossible. By the way, there are no customers in your pictures!?
Fantastic report Ken!
I was supposed to be there with you! :P
Unfortunately I am changing my work schedules and my trip to NY will be in late Oct now.
Will definitely visit the Lange boutique when I am there!
It does look different from the other boutiques but I like it. It looks more airy and brighter somehow.
Oh man all those rare pieces there!
The RL boutique edition with its yummy blued hands continue to sing to me. I need to get over its size as it wears a tad big for me.
Thanks for the great photos Ken and your report!
cheers

Very nice report Ken..
The boutique really is spacious with the upper floor. That special collector is someone truly special indeed, a wonderful kind friend that will always make you laugh and deserving of every piece he has Our paths need to cross at some point my friend.
