The first one posted, which was more than $100K at the site linked. This one is a mere $48K.Originally Posted by Manton
Ah ok, making sure. The one I posted retails for an inexpensive $580,000 (if memory serves).

no doubt they have a strong following and looking at their movements i can understand.
the problem, for me ,is how the dial looks and there isn't a single one besides the simple 1815 in wg with blued hands that i like; everything else is too asymetrical and busy.
Do you like it?. Discuss.

This is my preferred watchmaker. And Lange 1 is my preferred model.Originally Posted by Miguel Antonio

Well, lucky me, because I still like the $48K one more.Originally Posted by Manton
Well, if you can afford one, you can certainly afford the other. BTW, I agree with your choice, I think I would rather have the perpetual, if only for the more everyday functionality.

I can see what you mean. My Saxonia's design (for an ALS) is very simple and symmetrical to my eye...maybe a generation II Saxonia without date, like the one below, is somewhat the same and represents the most austere current Lange:
But, when I want to wear something really subdued, I reach for my vintage JLC, which I had the fortune of acquiring unused:
Generally, though, a lot of Lange dials are like cuckoo clocks.

No, it from around 45 years ago. It is nearly as thin as an ultra-thin, however, and reflects a period where well made, thin mechanical watches were common.
This JLC was never worn until I acquired it...tags and stickers all intact. I did swap out the original acrylic crystal for a saphire replacement so that the original crystal would remain unscratched, since it is a daily wearer, and the calf strap for a new Audemars Piguet strap that fits perfectly.
It tells remarkably reliable and accurate time.
