8 Tourbillons in 20 years.

 
 By: amanico : February 3rd, 2015-08:05

This is the message we received from Lange, showing the diversity of the Lange Tourbillon collection from 1994 to 2014.

Two impressive pictures.

 

My two favourites? The PLM from 1994, and the first Lange One Tourbillon.

For you?

Best,

Nicolas

Very impressive...

especially as they are quite different from the models we see from other traditional brands.

Very complicated for some, very well finished, not too big (on the contrary of other complications from the brand).

They could all be elected as someone best watch but I think from the moement I could try it, even if not represented in your pictures, my favorite would be the Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkskunst:





And my less favorite would be the "simple" 1815 Tourbillon because, as a former owner of the 3 hands version, I have a problem with the dia'sl balance with the tourbillon. An invisible one hidden behind the dial would have been a great work of understatement imho.

Cheers, Mark

Well, I was waiting for something simpler, such as a Lange One Black Enamel for the 20th

Anniversary. Very disappointed to see this one chosen for such an event...

Best,

Nicolas

I would dearly love to have the original - platinum

The newest Lange One of 20 would make a nice duo!

But I would not be greedy. Original, even in the YG and I would be happy

Nice pix

Thanks

Joe

The PLM was really something, indeed. Less of the latest black enamel, to say all. [nt]

Such diversity

 
 By: colton_d : February 3rd, 2015-09:59
Given the choice.. I would choose this one for an everyday piece



This one to lose myself and enjoy the show..



and this one if I allow myself to dream..


I hope to have a chance to handle a Lange 1 tourbillon at some point, the Pt version looks beautiful in photos.

I'm interested to hear what others would choose, and congratulations to Lange for 8 successful Tourbillons

Best,

Colton

You see, the PLM remains the star! ;) [nt]

I would choose a Tourbillon PLM blue dial

Even better in this version, I agree. [nt]

Fx, I forgot about this version!

This is pure beauty. Were there only one made? Is this blue the same as the original Lange One blue?

Best

Joe

Classic photo =) [nt]

Awesome, but missing one of my favorites

 
 By: vitalsigns : February 3rd, 2015-10:34

the Richard Lange PLM tourbillon

enamel dial with no tourbillon aperture in the dial

clean, elegant and subtle, yet so horologically gifted

Cheers,

John

You mean the RL PLM? No tourbillon, here...

 
 By: amanico : February 3rd, 2015-10:40

Or the RL Tourbillon PLM, but with a tourbillon on the dial side?

Oops. Yes, my mistake...no tourbillion there.

 
 By: vitalsigns : February 3rd, 2015-11:16

But it sure would be nice...

Not sure why I was thinking it was a tourby.

A spectacular watch, though, even without the tourbillion.

Thanks for clarifying,

John

Fusée à Chaine, not tourbillon, but not bad! [nt]

The Honey Gold L1 for me if I have to choose one

 
 By: TdotBean : February 4th, 2015-14:54
I still have problem with tourbillon watches that have a hole in the dial. 

I know I know you say why not the L1 Perpetual but I feel that the tourbillon is more a minus than a plus for this perpetual. To me the watch would be much better without the tourbillon. 

I hope we get to see a san tourbilllon L1 PC in the future and if god were kind enough? A regular production instead of limited edition

I also have a problem with the Big Rotor in a Lange watch. I must be too picky. [nt]

Yes, but this damn big rotor spoils the watch for me. [nt]

Yes but here it is at leastmandatory. It is impossible to use a 3/4 rotor in this context. [nt]
