A. Lange & Söhne

I also would love to hear thoughts on future additions as well as your current collection!

And indeed Lange's rose gold watches have a wonderful look and is something you can really look toward.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

My former 1815:

Lange's rose gold blend is about perfect.

Very new to the world of A Lange & Söhne and learning about their work. Seeing the photos of a few Lange watches, now I understand why the Datograph is revered. It just stands out among others, with a very strong personality, and a beautiful movement. Ach! I'm bitten again!

I've been waiting, and wanting, to post some pictures of my Langes, so thanks for the doing this.

I see you also have a Dato and a new 1815 chrono, just curious, which one do you prefer? If I had to keep one over the other it would probably be the Datograph.

Honestly, Tony, I don't know. Some days I like the 1815 better; some days the Dato. I do think the 1815 looks a bit more casual, or unobtrusive, which I like. But, as you know, they are both "head of the class" when it comes to chronos. 

Nonetheless I am happy to share. If only my pockets could equal the passion I have for this brand.. but someday!

I would be thrilled to own either version, but I too prefer the watch in rose gold. Its a beautiful piece. In regards to the langematik date, I happen to love wearing the watch. It is just big enough for me to wear and the size makes it a great dress watch. I think its interesting when you look back at old price lists, the last year that the langematik date in platinum was in production the watch retailed for a few thousand less than the stealth and a few thousand more than the Richard Lange but in hindsight i think that the platinum RL ended up being the most popular of the three. Thanks for sharing!

Very few people on this earth can experience every single Lange that they would like to own. That's what makes this forum so great, even though we can't have them all we can still admire many of the pieces that we would like to own from other forum members which was the main reason for starting this post!

That is a very nice collection of watches. Maybe we will be posting pictures of our ZWs at the same time!

Judging by the picture of your Langes I would say you've been doing quite well without us so far .

Hi Colton

And Wow! again.

That is a great well thought out collection of Lange's that you have there. The Zeitwork and Lumen really stick out to me (of course I'd take them all!) Which piece is your favorite? This message has been edited by TonyR on 2014-11-11 16:29:06

The 2 you picked are also my favourite.

Of those two, I wear lumen the most only because it fits my work attire (suits) together with useful complications like date etc. In fact i wear that in almost all my business trips.

ZW is one of the earliest pieces that I got and it remains my top 2.

Thanks

Regards

TOM

 

 

 

 

 

Let me please add with my modest 2-piece Lange collection : the 1815 chrono in white gold and the Lange 1 Daymatic in yellow gold.

 

Many pictures lack of light, here it is perfect.

A great pair.

Cheers.

I collect watches but I find it difficult to understand why buy a number of watches from the same brand.  For me it's a personal decision, I would always only have the one.  I couldn't see myself for instance owning 2 hublots at the same time.  If I wanted another I would sell the first and then go for the other.  obviously if money is no object then a collection is of course is a no brainer.   Your watches are both fantastic and different but some of the watches are not too different.  I would rather have something the same but from a different brand just to mix it up.  I assume it's as they say horses for courses.

Like you, I am rather a one watch by brand collector as I favor diversity very strongly.

Lange (with Breguet) is the exception to this rule as I have a great admiration for what they are doing and I like their style at lot.

The 1815 chrono and the Daymatic are completely different watches:

- chrono vs calendar

- manual vs automatic

- white vs colored metal

So,diversity is guaranteed with this pair but I would not mind owning other Lange's as well .....

Best,

Gerard

After buying and selling many pieces within all of the major brands over the years I aquired a real understanding of what I really want. Lange's certainly are not the only brand that I like or own I just happen to think that the company currently makes the nicest watches vs any other brand. That opinion makes me want own as many of them as I can!
