My first ALS, a 1999 Saxonia

This early Lange popped up from 1999 and I had to have it. A svelte 34mm, it’s such a pure ALS dress watch!

Always loved their oversized, easy to read dates, and the amazing horological details regarding movement finishing.
THIS is the way watches are supposed to be manufactured.

Are there Lange collectors these days still interested in the original pocket watches? This one here I believe is from 1866. Beautiful piece in our family with interesting history between two continents

Platinum Dato at auction is now $60KUS with buyers premium.

I'd argue current market price is even higher. The recent sales I followed have rather been in the € 65k range, ie. USD >70k

I guess one can argue that this is also supported by the big greys like WB and some others but price levels seem to be there to stay.

I would be curious to better understand how Lange collectors structure their collections (including pictures), what Lange pieces are the sought after ones and some of the thinking behind. Since there is only a thread about pics of the daily wearers, I thought it's the time to start a new one to share pictures of Lange collections and some stories around their genesis.

To start with my modest collection:
- 101.001 the OG Lange with closed case back: one of the first 100 watches ever left the factory
- 101.035 Lange 1 Darth: definitively the coolest L1 since 1994
- 401.031 1st gen Chrono in rose gold: a clear must have for every chronograph enthusiast
- 414.028 3rd gen Chrono: best pure chrono over the last years
- 403.035 1st gen Datograph: the most important watch for Lange and a game changer for the whole industry
- 363.179 Odysseus in steel: Lange's move into the stainless steel sports watch segment but still a great reflection of their DNA

There are still a couple of pieces I'm looking for to complement my collection, but since supply is getting smaller and smaller, I keep the references for me at this point in time...

I’ve recently added another Lange to my collection:
231.031: the most romantic Lange among the Teutonic models in the whole line up since 1994

Really hard to grasp the beauty of the dial on picture.

Congratulations! I love the new time zone. My personal favorite combo is the black dial white gold but the rose gold looks stunning too. Good pickup!

What time frames were you guys quoted for your Steel Odysseus? Mine keeps getting delayed. I wasn't required to put a deposit down but still a little annoyed.

How did Lange cancel your order?

You ordered directly from ALS website or ordered with your AD?

Sorry for simple question, I am new to ALS so I don't know much about it.

The model discussed is the SS Odysseus; it’s on allocation and requires an application/ approval.

A couple of pics of my 40mm Saxonia Thin that I bought last Saturday
It's my first ALS, I'd like to add the 39mm copper blue Saxonia Thin one day and maybe a Lange 1.
I must say these are the only models I like, in my opinion too many others like the original Saxonia and 1815 models look very dated and not that pretty to me

You're right, 1815 looks grandpa.
