Which color combination?
Nov 17, 2006,01:01 AM
The Lange 1 will feel like hit has more substance. It's a heavier piece with crisp finishing. The dial design with big date is always impressive to look at. The CS on the other hand is equally impressive but has a completely different feel. In addition to superior craftmenship the watch is filled with artistic creativity typical of all Journe pieces. The location of the power supply, the smaller 7 & 8 hour markers near the subdial, the ribbed crown and mezmerizing rose gold movement. You are not the first person to debate between Lange and Journe, or a Lange 1 and CS.
Are you considering the PT or RG CS? Which Lange 1 combination?

Chronometre Souverain vs. Lange 1
By: Samuel Lock : November 16th, 2006-05:05
I'm considering a three hand manual winding watch. Sadly, the Roger Smith Series 2 is out of my budget so I've narrowed my choices down to these two watches. I know it's like comparing apples to oranges but I like to hear what you have to say regarding th...
Tough Choice

Sam, tough choice. I will suggest what others have suggested me. Choose which one speaks the loudest to you. try both if you can and see how they look like on your wrist. Both watches are quality products. Another one that you might want to consider is th...

Lange 1 in white gold with guilloche MOP dial since it has a striking resemblance to the Lange 1A. As for the Chronometre Souverain, I like it in platinum. My dealer quoted me the price for the platinum CS which is a mere $1000 more than the white gold La...
Too weak to decide between these two...

I feel drawn to both watches, and I agree with the others' comments completely. So I own a "Stealth" Lange 1, which has solid, smooth and modern presence, and a CS in platinum, which feels like much more of a classic. I will say that while I appreciate bo...
If you must have SHEER quality, then the Lange is above it.

I am more than familiar with both watches, and the Lange has an edge over the FP in both visually obvious quality in finish, and tactile quality...feel the wind of the crown, and also as you pull and push the crown in and out. Also, if you run your finger...

I've been quietly awaiting your perceptive response. You never fail to deliver when most needed! Thank you for your feedback...
LOL! Pull up your pants folks, because it's too late to save the shoes

>> Also, if you run your fingers around each watch, you can feel the difference in Lange's better finish. According to this scientific study, blind people have better tactile spacial resolution than non-blind people, and even that is only about 0.8 mm wit...
Perhaps if we are going to discuss this on a scientific level...

then we'll need to distinguish between different "types of touching". Active touch is when a subject's finger moves over sa tationary surface which I believe is the motion that is being described. The limit of discrimination with touch is about 0.8mm. The...

Hi Mike, I thought I might get such a response. I have to admit that what you have highlighted is true in certain contexts, but you have to remember that as alluded to in ISO 13091 (click here) , when identifying or manipulating curved objects such as a w...

Sorry as this diverges offtopic but it was a research project of mine so hence the interest. You are right that the limit of discrimination that I quoted was for active touch along a linear surface not along a curved plane. The edge sensitivity of mechano...
