My first Lange
Feb 21, 2015,20:02 PM
A friend of mine introduce me to the world of horology back in 2000. I was looking for a nice watch and he pointed me to the direction of Patek. I immediately took notice of the annual complications and perpetual ones. I picked up my first PP which was a 5036G then sold it a few years later to get the 5056P. After a few years I came to take note of Lange and saw the Lange one and Perpetual. I had no budget yet for a new watch but have decided that Lange will be the next watch I will get.
Fast forward a few years, I have been fortunate now to have the funds to get a Lange but which one?
The Lange one is at the top of my list but a 2nd hand Langematik Perpetual was also there. I found this site and saw the posts from Ian. He posted the Saxonia annual calendar with blue hands, that is a beauty so I set my sight on that one.
After asking for prices and waiting for the right time, I saw a post for a new watch from Lange around October. I immediately fell in love with the watch.
Of course I also tried a few before jumping in as they say.
I was fortunate enough to be in HK Lange store and saw a dummy watch of the new WG Langematik perpetual. I just look and look at it. My wife asked the shop keeper to pull it out and for me to wear it. wow! that did it for me. I immediately ordered one from my AD as soon as i got back home.
I got a call friday from my AD and they told me the watch is on hand for pick up.
I am happy to wear it today
