Lange 1 Tourbillon

Two new watches: 1) LANGE 1 TOURBILLON PERPETUAL CALENDAR "Lumen". Platinum, limited to 50 pieces. Looks absolutely incredible. ( link ) 2) SAXONIA ANNUAL CALENDAR - Feels like a modern and sleeker version of the Langmatik. Available in pink or white gold

I know I am beginning to sound like Eliza Doolittle but after an anxious wait of six months, I can hardly contain my excitement when the time piece arrives. This is the 1815 Tourbillon with black enamel dial. In the flesh, the watch surpassed my expectati

With this release, I think Lange has now made 2,155 honey gold pieces: REF. MODEL # 101.050 Lange 1 20 116.050 Lange 1 Timezone 100 142.055 Zeitwerk HG Lumen 200 143.050 Zeitwerk Decimal Strike 100 211.052 Saxonia Thin 200 212.050 1815 Moonphase "F.A. Lan

I am happy to report the arrival of my long-awaited Lange 1 PC. I expressed my interest in buying this watch 5 minutes after W&W 2021 opened (no joke), and it is finally here! This watch is the perfect perpetual calendar, and I feel privileged to own it.

When Lange first introduced honey gold in 2010, I got the 1815 Moonphase and the Lange 1 Tourbillon, both in HG (matching numbers). I did this primarily because HG seemed like a special metal, and I thought Lange wouldn't use it very often. But then, in s
