SIHH 2009 : My Lange & Sohne Report

Jan 23, 2009,05:08 AM
 

As always, it has been a great pleasure for us to be warmly welcome by the Lange Team. I would like to thank Julie and Gaetan for the time we spent all together, Fabian, Arnd, Tino and Anthony for the presentation and the dinner.

There are a lot of pictures to present so I will split the presentation by topic.

Of course, I start with the booth !

Part 1 : the Lange booth

 
 By: foversta : January 23rd, 2009-05:09
For whom who know the previous Lange booth, there were big changes this year. A very large part of it was dedicated to an exhibition about the art of precision watchmaking. All the calibers from Lange were displayed on a wall. We also were able to see por...

I love the "exploded" calibers

Part 2 : the Richard Lange PLM

 
 By: foversta : January 23rd, 2009-05:10
We already presented both versions of the Richard Lange PLM after the presentation in Paris by Fabian and Arnd. It's for me the ultimate 3 hands watch of the market. The fusée & chain system brings something magic to the winding feeling and adds an impres...

Your wristshots are perfect Xavier!

Part 3 :Richard Lange PLM vs Richard Lange

 
 By: foversta : January 23rd, 2009-05:11
Just a few shots to compare both version. Close... but very different. You can feel the contrast between the silver and the enamel dials. Fr.Xavier...

This year was a bit special due to the context but despite this atmosphere, Lange presented several beautiful watches: - the technical features of the Richard Lange are very convincing - the new caliber of the 1815 is also impressive with its big size - t...

Thanks a lot FX

You've done here a great report as usual! The RL PLM is definitely a big big hit but saddly it'll only one of my dreamwatch. However the new 1815 might be a good alternative .... i'll have to try that asap

Thanks Yves.

FX said and presented all. Julie and Gaetan are to be thanked for their very warm welcome, and for their disponibility. With Jerome, we spent quite 3 hours at the Lange stand, chatting with Julie and Gaetan who presented us not only the new pieces, but al...

You seem to really like...

 
 By: foversta : January 23rd, 2009-14:55
the pictures with Julie on the background. As I told to Anthony de Haas, yes I took a lot of pictures : 500 pictures of Julie, 3 of the watches : that's the french sense of humor ! Do you realize that Jerome's shirt is perfect with the Datograph bracelet ...

Love that French vision of Horology!

Is this all FX? ...

It was very dark in the restaurant. But maybe SJX has some pics of the dinner because he has its camera with him.. Fr.Xavier

OK I understand, life is hard for a WIS ...

IF there is light, it is bad light to shoot watch pictures with, and if these horrid light-sources are absent, guess what, then it is to dark to shoot pictures ... Say, FX, you seem to be granted a lot of time shooting pictures at the Lange booth ... did ...

I had an appointment.

 
 By: foversta : January 23rd, 2009-16:26
Of course, I got appointment before in order to have time to shoot the watches, to be able to see them (some are really difficult to catch...) and so on... Julie and Gaetan spent a lot of time with me and with Jerome and Nicilas the day after. Thanks a lo...
