The A. Lange & Söhne Thread - including daily pics...
I couldn't find an A. Lange & Söhne thread for fans to show their pieces on TRF (Hopefully there isn't one already!). I love A. Lange & Söhne watches, so I thought I would start a thread and begin it with some pics of my current ALS watches and their movements...

The Datograph movements are art masterpieces IMO.

I have a few questions for ALS experts;

-How many years did Lange produce the Datograph 39mm in PT?

-How many pieces were made each year?

-Since when did they start making the 41mm platinum up/down?

-Do you think there is a risk that they might start to be harder to find in the near future thus have a price raise for mint pieces?

And last one do you prefer the Datograph in 39mm or the 41mm up/down? Of course the platinum ones

Thanks guys

That's very cool post indeed.

Ok let me tell you one thing. IMHO & 100%+, I can rank ...
1. Patek Philippe
1 AGAIN: A. Lange & Sohne
IN SAME LEVEL......

Nothing follows ....

Will post later some pics of my beloved AL&Ss: Zietwerk Pt, TZ Pt, DS & Referenzuhr Pt.

Their watches finishing, design, movement & rarity are unbelievable.

Fp journe, Greubel forsey and a few dozen others would disagree with nothing else follows. But out of the mass guys, you're 100% correct.

You are right Patek Philippe and A. Lange & Söhne are both number 1 in the world of watches.

I usually prefer the PP dial styles over Lange but that's just my humble opinion.
A. Lange & Söhne decorates the movements better though

Great photo's guys!

They are quite balanced once you look at them the right way

The first-generation Grand Lange 1 models had overlapping subdials and never looked quite right to me. Lange redesigned them shortly after they were first introduced. I wonder if those early Grand Lange 1's fit the "golden spiral" or if they broke from it.

I knew Lange 1 was based on the golden ratio / fibonacci numbers, but this illustration is very informative. Thank you

lange is created for people that understand money is for enjoyment (the sheer beauty of lange and intimacy between lange and me) I dont need to know whether my client know what I am wearing, I am not seeking other people's attention from the watch. I wear lange to impress myself that I own the most beautiful watch man can imagine.
