Part I: The Watches
Most of the 2010 collection was on show, but the highlight was of course the Homage set. More photos of the watches in the reprint of my SIHH report below.
Clockwise from left: Zeitwerk Luminous, Saxonia Annual Calendar in rose and white gold, and Saxonia for ladies
My favourite iteration of the Zeitwerk
Saxonia Annual Calendar - not technically significant but an important product to broaden Lange's entry to mid range
From left: Datograph Perpetual in rose gold, Saxonia Annual Calendar in white gold, Richard Lange Referenzuhr in rose gold, Lange 1 Luminous, Lange 1 Daymatic in rose gold and 1815 Chronograph in white gold
And now for the highlight of the event, the Homage to FA Lange set. Starting with the incredible Tourbograph Pour le Merite.
Followed by the Lange 1 Tourbillon. This differs from the first generation in several respects, including the larger tourbillon aperture and stop seconds function. The movement decoration is also different and the case as well as balance cock are honey gold.
And finally the 1815 Moon Phase in honey gold.

I'm definitely the minority.....
I really don't like the guilloche on the dial and the decoration on the movement. To me, these 3 watches.....hmmmm.....I really dunno what to say except 'are they necessary?' The honey gold looks great though. I must really see these watch in person , it ...
CL, what do you not like about the guilloche?
I think it adds a lot to the dial, especially on the 1815 mondphase. The Tourbograph is nice but not for me. Cheers, -- Richard.
it's really personal preference......
I just don't think the guilloche look "Lange" and it reminds me of the new Patek Perpetual. It just look like an afterthought in design but then it is very subjective. To me the old 1815 MP just hit the chord perfectly, so was the Tuetonic looking Turbogr...
I understand...
but I love the look of the new 1815 mondphase. The Tourbograph isn't for me, I would be happy with a Richard Lange PLM PT instead. Cheers, -- Richard.
I am with you CL..I like the Daymatic most. It stays on course with Blumlein's vision
I will 100% get the Daymatic this year or the next...in RG or YG..it combines the deep engraving on the rotor which I adore on the Langematic with the clean cut indexes of the Lange 1. I always had a major problem with minute flaws on the Langematic's ind...

And I conclude with proper photos of the 2010 collection. This is my SIHH 2010 report on Lange. Many thanks to the team at Lange as well as Sincere for the excellent press conference. - SJX Lange had a superb range of products this year. In contrast to pr...
Thank you SJX!
Thank you SJX for attending this event and taking these great photographs for me to drool at. It is certainly reminding me of my favorite A. Lange & Soehne timepieces. This is certainly an important event, considering all the important watches are present...

..mouth watering report, thanks for the write up. Im afraid as much as I like all of those pieces I have eyes for only one piece ... Tourbograph Pour le Mérite..... It is simple stunning.. I am in love, alas very limited numbers & not enough pennies=...
Just amazing watches and coverage ...
Thanks SJX, Superb coverage and wonderful watches. So many of those images, particularly the movements, are now saved as wallpaper. I love the 1815 moonphase and the honey gold. Lange are really pushing through the touch of Teutonic coldness I felt in som...
wowww...
Impressive, thanks for sharing SJX. and the Zeitwerk again get my vote thanks Eddy
Thanks for sharing JX...
the box housing the Homage set looks mighty nice. Wonder if that will be the presentation case for actual Homage set owners if there are any out there? I recall when the TimeZone was released before, they seem to have had a similar box to house all three ...
If someone buys the entire set
I believe he will get separate boxes for each watch. - SJX
I think this and separate boxes
which I must rememebr to tell a certain gentlement friend who's interested in this...
very very impressive

sitting beside JX that may have placed an order for a set...
Thanks a lot SJX for the report !
I'm in love with the 1815 moonphase and the Zeitwerk Luminous... Fr.Xavier
What can you say?
We can see that you put a lot of work into this to our benifit. What can we say but ....hats off...and thank you.
Just came home from the Kuala Lumpur Event.
I must say the event is more like a get together than a formal dinner. Old friends chit chatting, great food (Lafite@Shangri-La). I manage to snap a few photo, mostly casual shot of the wrist. Here goes: Lange 1 Tourbillon 'Homage to F.A. Lange' This is t...
Fully agree on the Zeitwerk Phantom. Much better in person than
on te net and best of all the Zeitwerks I think... but whether its worth the premium....
Agreed. Beautiful pictures...
Btw Bluenotte, I'm a friend of Patrick Y and a Purist from New York. I recently moved to Tokyo and would love to meet you over lunch or a coffee. I can be reached at jeffrey at binstock dot net. Look forward to hearing from you.
