A. Lange & Söhne

In recent months, the black dials have done a strong comeback in the Lange & Shne collection: after the Lange One Tourbillon Handwerkskunst and the Langematik Perpetual in white gold, here is the 1815 "200th Anniversary F.A. Lange" which offers a dial of...

where's the spark? :) Thanks for the review Fx - totally convincing. cheers fernando

It is different (black laquer dial), beautiful, the right size for a dark dial and very "Lange". The only thing we can regret is that it lacks something special for a 200th anniversary watch. But if I wanted a 3 hands Lange this would probably be a strong... 

... like the Kalenderwoche. But this one is still a safe and solid bet as Fernando is saying if we take into account that black dialled platinum watches are the collector's favourites. I would have found a 37.5 mm better, more special than the usage of a ... 

As a matter of fact; after seeing your pictures this watch has been placed on my wishlist directly. I think I need one. It looks like it to me that this is a very versatile watch. It will look great wearing suit & tie, but I can also see it in place b... 

I love this watch a lot. But I agree it\'s a nice normal edition watch. For anniversary edition I was hoping for more to be honest. At least some movement engraving? Nonetheless a great watch with a nice black dial and platinum case Cheers Robin ...  

I am completely seduced. Close my eyes pretend it isn't a 200th anniversary watch then reopen them with a huge smile at this piece on my wrist! :) Daddy needs a new Lange.

Thanks for the pics and write-up. The piece is gorgeous. I echo others' comments that something more special for the 200th anniversary was in order, but it doesn't take away from the independent merits of this piece. The black dial really tone's down the ... 

I think it's a great looking piece. I agree that the watch could have been made a little more "special" like a black enamel dial similar to the tourbillon but with that being said it's still a very nice looking watch. Does anyone know what the retail is g... 

I took the leap! Pictures say more than a thousand words. Excuse the phone camera res, I don't have macro skills... Pure & Simple Putting things into perspective (scale) Hanging out at the Haig Club A good vintage Pop! ...  

It's a lovely piece.. I am sooo jealous since I have been wanting an 1815 for the longest time

...with your comments and many thanks to you for your excellent and helpful review. Only further con in my view is the size. 38 (or less) would be more suitable but again, this is a very subjective point. Overall, I like this one even more than the RG or ... 

It so happened I wanted a deployant for my Perpetual and reserved one on my trip to Paris. The people at the boutique were friendly specially the boutique manager Ms. Sunny. I asked if they had the limited editions and she showed me three, 2 of which were... 

Sure that Sunny knows how to welcome the visitors! I'm in the boutique every week! :) Fx

Something about ALS black dial watches that always draws me in. Love the striking contrast!

... it is the reason why I would like to see them more often... at least dark dials! Fx
