Why not a Lange, Kari?
Have a look into the technical aspect of a Double Split, for instance:
it is a mechanical chrono where you can store a once taken time (best time of a race) and than set the "other" chrono back (as it is a
double chono) and start again.
And if the new time is better you can even make an adjustment of the former best time and store the new best time by only pushing a
pusher twice and there you are: the former best time has been beaten and with the same hands you have stored it.
There is no other watch on the market with this "complication".
One thing is a bit of a minus of the DS: it is rather big, BUT for a reason

Everybody must hate my 5131G already
so back to the other white-and-blue 240 calibre watches. I love the Golden Ellipse and this color combination is without hesitation my favorite. And the dial loves natural light. The very slim profile of Golden Ellipse does not harm at all! For years I ha...
Well, " Hate " is not the approriate word, my friend. :)
But it is always interesting to see a Cal 240. Best, Nicolas
Kari, thank you. :)
Just came back from Odessa, have not seen all this terrific snapshots of your navy blue marvels. I am a big fan of navi blue color. Seriously. 80% of my suits are navy blue and thats why i love 5140 face in platinum so much. Kari, as the person who spend ...
I know something about the "hot spots" of
Russia. My first visit was in 1961 to Leningrad when I was still the size of a dick... In 1974 I started to work in the agency of Soviet Ministry of Merchant Marine and after that I had probably hundreds of business trips to Soviet Union, later to Russia,...
with pleasure, Kari!
Night Flight is on place and still working but I will show you some new fresh places :)
When Moscow is concerned,
fresh is always good. I have gone a lot around with the local oil companies without knowing where I am but still enjoying Big Time. Best, Kari
Not to get off topic but...
Something must be getting lost in the translation: "My first visit was in 1961 to Leningrad when I was still the size of a dick..."
English is not my mother tongue...
but my dictionary tells that dick and tool are meaning the same. In Lapland many people say that when a boy is small and still very short that "he's the size of "työkalu" that I translated to dick. Lol. I wish you a wonderful day! Best, Kari
Interesting
Always interesting to learn the nuances of another language, and I thank you for your clarification. The term does have a somewhat more vulgar connotation here in the U.S. Thank you for sharing not only your beautiful collection of fine timepieces but you...
Stunning
Your golden ellipse exudes a quiet elegance defined by its simplicity. Breathtaking really. I share your thoughts about the 'messiness' of the perpetual's dial. For me the radial inversions of the numbers and letters make it look a bit confused at times. ...
There are still some slots available....
at the baby sitters if these need to be wound up while your on holiday..!! The blue dial is sublime my friend Speak soon, Andy.
Yes, the blue dial makes me to dream
One day 5102G or 6102P, 5070P or preferably a blue dialed 5170P. And what might come on the 175 years Anniversary? I have asked many but got only one piece of information and about that, I have to shut up. Best, Kari
We love all of them ...and you great shots!
Hello Kari, you are really treating us well with your pictures: makes one feel to buy urgently a Patek again :-). But my personal economics do not really allow me to get one so I have to stick to your pics and the visits to ADs. However: the passion and f...
Thank you dear Count.
It also makes me happy that my modest trials to take some pictures satisfy you. I'm still a learner... Best, Kari

Very interesting points dear Count,
if I should name my favorite watch brand from the back, it would be Lange without any hesitation. When speaking about the dial and total appearance, Patek is my favorite brand. Typically Lange is somehow too "cold" for me and in most of the cases it's the...
