So here is my latest baby!

Actually, I have to tell you that being a PuristSPro mod is a very dangerous position. I saw this watch because I wished to write a review about it. After having handled it, I wrote the review (to be published here soon...) and I felt in love with it. So I bought it... this is the most expensive review I have ever made, LOL!!! I hope it will not occur another time.
Anyway, let's come back to the interesting point: my new Lange watch is a Grand Lange One Luminous.
I am very happy with it for several reasons:
- we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Lange One and I didn't have a member of the Lange One family in my collection (yes, I have to be blamed)
- this watch is far from being the fav watches for Lange fans... what makes it very attractive! More seriously, I love it because it embodies an unusual design for a Lange watch with a more "relaxed" approach
- the Grand Lange One dial lay-out received a lot of critics due to the overlapping circles but it works very well in this more "sportive" design.
- it left the collection at the end of 2007 and I sill consider it as one of the most contemporary watches ever made by Lange
- my first 3 Lange watches have a silver/light dial so purchasing a black one brings fresh air to my collection!
Anyway, here are a few pics and I come back soon with the famous review which cost me a lot:
Best.

Writing reviews is very dangerous, indeed, as we poison ourself. ;)

No doubt it will happen, again... But at least, we know what we buy. You surprised me, as I was expecting a rose gold tic tac. Congrats, it is a daring addition, because, as you said, this is not the most consensual Lange. But at least, it goes out of the...
Thanks Nicolas.

I have already several dressed watches in RG so I think that I didn't want to add another one... I preferred to explore a Lange side I didn't have in my collection. Fx
Congrats Fx! Speaking of Lange 1s....

Never mind I should leave that for the next post hehe. Here's wishing you lots of joy as you wear this beautiful and very special Lange 1! Cheers Robin
Thanks Robin!

And I can't wait to discover that you want to write about the Lange One! Fx
Thanks a lot Joe!

Actually, the calfskin strap is the original strap. I will see if I change it later or not. Fx
So unusual for you,but wow!

I well remember another luminous or night owl presented at SIHH in 2010 or 2011?an I thought that I would have loved to own it....you must have some pictures of that one too...would be nice to see them both together.... I love the roman and Arabic mix,lov...
Thanks a lot Mo for your words!

We discussed in the past about this watch and about the Lumen/Luminous family. I had your Grand Lange One in my mind when I decided to buy it! Thanks for your nice words Mo! Fx

I offer you sincere congratulations on a rarely seen, but uniquely beautiful Lange! I eagerly await your review Fx, I will hazard a guess that the review was a positive one ;) Perhaps this will be a good one to accompany you to SIHH this coming January? B...
Congrats & welcome to the L1 family!

I agree with you, this design works well for the G Lange 1 and is still so contemporary. It's sporty and elegant and I can see you wearing it more than you would like to. :) Best fernando
Very quirky...
By: vitalsigns : September 14th, 2014-18:41
...and so very unlike a Lange 1 in my opinion, but...BUT...I've always liked the Lange 1 luminous. And the grande Lange 1 is much more successful IMO in the luminous iteration than the regular iterations. Enjoy it. It is a very nice and distinctive piece....
As long as the watch..

speaks to you, it doesnt matter if its not the most popular lange.. Life is too short, get what you love.. My lange 1 says hi.. ...
I would lose bet heavily...

Congratulation, Fx! :)
