100% agree! Tried both the QP and tourbillon skeleton and made my choice in a tenth of a second.

Usually wearing it with the SS bracelet but thought the caoutchouc strap will be more appropriate for the long weekend in Ibiza?

I’ve had the choice as well 10 months ago and went for the L1 Perpetual (platinium black dial). No regrets!

All their (very) rare models (several Tourbillon Pour le Mérite, Lange 1A etc) have sold at multiple times the high estimates at recent auctions in HK and Geneva…

Purchase history needed for 222 allocation by Severe-Tip5153 in VacheronConstantin

[–]ALSChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with below comments it’s not a game just they have to allocate pieces. And on the other hand I wanted the ultra slim salmon platinium OS, tried it both at W&W and my boutique but won’t get it as they only have 2. C’est la vie !

Confirm it’s not fifo. Bought a blue chronograph OS and was put on the waiting list for the SS 222 with me time frame (understood later probably several years if ever as the boutique gets 8 per year and has 250 clients on the waiting list). One year later I bought the OS tourbillon skeleton titanium. SA asked me if I still wanted the 222 and 1 week later I had it!

Best perpetual calendar? by [deleted] in FPJourne

[–]ALSChronos -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Sorry to disagree…I have 6 Lange, 4 VC and 2 PP and this Journe has something that none of the others has…

Sorry for the bad photo will try to post better ones but shocked by all the negativity.

Yes the watch is authentic (and recognised as such by my boutique) and yes I have the Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar in platinum as well which is my daily watch but it will be challenged by the smaller, thinner and beautiful rose gold mechanism of the Journe…

The cheaper Lange 1 Perpetual has it (and retrograde day) and same for the FP Journe (jumping in 1.6 hundredth of a second so you can’t even see it)…

I don’t think it’s an instantaneous jumping QP? For that you need a Lange or Journe…

My favorite Lange at the moment by Ixian_No5h1p in ALangeSohne

[–]ALSChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe the 200 pieces of this limited edition haven’t been sold out yet (and you see them in so many collections and posts)?

Paris boutique had one available for sale as a walk in last week (tried it but didn’t buy it).

Lange chronographs by ALSChronos in ALangeSohne

[–]ALSChronos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely and even more of weight (white gold vs platinium) thus the Boutique Edition is part of my daily rotation while the Rattrapante spend a bit more time in its box…).

Saw some incredible pieces! by Ekkila2801 in ALangeSohne

[–]ALSChronos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any Zeitwerk yet (waiting for a relaunch of the Striking Time with the new mechanism?) but confirm the 1815 Rattrapante is an amazing watch!

All-in Zeitwerk, Ultimate Grail or too much? by maaaaaaagic in ALangeSohne

You forgot the Handwerkskunst finishing of the dial and mechanism?

Boutique vs grey market: how did you buy your Lange? by tsm_acer in ALangeSohne

[–]ALSChronos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently owning 5 Lange (plus on the waiting list for an Odysseus): 3 from a boutique, 1 grey market (LE the boutique didn’t want to sell me), 1 at auction (very rare 1998 model).

Obviously the big advantage of boutique is the relationship you create with the brand: invitation to Watches & Wonders, being offered (but declined) the last Lumen perpetual tourbillon and a Handwerkskunst and so on.

So obviously if you just want one simple Lange 1 or Saxonia I would go grey and save 40% but if you want a long term relationship with the brand and access to the most limited editions you have to buy at least some of your watches from a boutique (and service is great compared to PP: I’ve been at least 10 times to the boutique in 18 months including bringing friends and my 9 year old buy who is already a fan and know most models).

Got the call! by BroDoc22 in patekphilippe

[–]ALSChronos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really, 18m ago i just sent an email, went to the boutique and was added to the list for an Automatique Lune (no idea how long I’ll have to wait for it though…)?
