TBH I have no idea. It was in the local mall... LOL!

That Pour Le Merite is my one true grail. I haven't seen another watch I like as much. The ALS Perpetual Tourbillon is probably the closest to a second place though...

Yep, agree re the latter. I don't think you responded to my earlier question of pricing for this model. Any views?

I think it is boutique only. If so, then retail price only.

Thanks, what is sticker price in US please? I am at Eur220 so far from my preliminary investigations.

I'm not sure. I was offered one last spring, but I don't recall now.

The US List for the 720.025 is $341900. I do not believe that it is a Boutique only piece as I was offered one from a non-boutique AD.

I posted a thread earlier regarding a Lange event in NYC this past Thursday. Mr Anthony De Haas of Lange was actually sporting a Lange Toubillion Perpetual at the event. I spent some time looking at it and was quite surprised at how simple and uncluttered the dial was for such a complicated piece. I was "baiting" Mr. de Haas as to when they will be coming out with the non-Tourbillion version of that perpetual model as I told him i thought it would be a big seller, given the obvious cost reduction with the absence of the Tourbillion. He was quite coy and wouldn't give any hint if I was on the right track.

Personally , I think I am.

Time will tell.

QC, that's disappointing, I thought I was about to find out that you had an awesome car collection as well!

Nope, just my heavily modified AMS Nissan GT-R Alpha 10. Unless you consider off-roading in a Jeep Rubicon exotic....

Cool weapon of choice! Congrats! I left my car collecting days behind me when I moved back to HK. Hence more money for watches!

conkers · 10 November 2013, 05:08 PM

Good intel Ken thanks. I just bought something else today, so will return to the Lange strategy when I have digested the latest!

WhatTheDeuce · 13 December 2013, 02:08 PM

Got around to wearing this one...

CWIN · 13 December 2013, 03:06 PM

Love Lange. My favorite timepieces next to Patek. Had the opportunity to try a few on at a local AD. Beautiful. Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to own one. Until I hit the Mega Millions...

eeh100773 · 13 December 2013, 03:40 PM

Great examples guys. These are so damn cool.

FeelingTheBlues · 17 December 2013, 09:42 PM

Pictures aren't mine obviously but I found this watch on Hodinkee, what do you guys think? Personally I'm a big fan of the work they did on the dial and think the complications are well displayed, I usually prefer manual winding watches but with such a rotor I would gladly make an exception...

The work on that dial is beautiful Carl! Although, not for me, haha. It's amazing though. I'm a huge ALS fan. Perhaps one day...

Baco Noir · 18 December 2013, 12:26 AM

Carl - That's nothing but wrist art!

SearChart · 18 December 2013, 02:32 AM

Engraved dial, tourbillon, decorated movement ...

is this heaven?

The craftsmanship on that watch is outstanding!

the attention to detail and beauty is why ALS in on the grail list.

Indeed, A. Lange & Söhne is, to me, one of the best when it comes to craftsmanship and putting art in their watches.

paverman · 19 December 2013, 11:48 AM

Great stuff Carl. With only 15 to be produced, it'll definately be a rare find.
The Handwerkskunst treatment is very unique indeed, but at $350k, it will not be found in my dresser drawer

I also love the Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst. It's why lotteries were invented.
