Hands-On: With The A. Lange & S?hne 1815 Tourbillon With Stop-Seconds Mechanism And Zero Reset (
Let's get one thing straight. I'm not a tourbillon guy at all. In fact, I think most of them are downright ridiculous. There are, of course, a few exceptions, where I believe the technical thoughtfulness, artistic integrity, and the simple beauty of them in motion outweigh my general belief that this complication is more than useless (then again, aren't all mechanical watches?). Some that I give a pass to include those from Laurent Ferrier and FP Journe, the Tradition tourbillon from Breguet, the?14-day guys from VC, the Gyro from JLC, the downright?ridiculousness of the mega RM's, and the occasional?ultra-slim Royal Oak tourbillon. But, if it came down to it, and I were forced to spend my own (pretend) money on a tourbillon wristwatch, it would likely (though not definitely) be from A. Lange & S?hne. 2 OF 12 Now I'm not going to lie and tell you that if given my druthers, the Lange tourbillon I'd buy would be this new 1815 (first shown to you in January during the SIHH)

anybody got some great ceramic pics?
preferably anthracite dial.I ordered one but part of me still thinking about RG. So please show me some beautiful ceramic pics to ease my mind...Thanks!!

Any Omega guys have any experience with this model?
I've always been on the fence about Speedmasters until today, I tried this on and fell in love!! The weight, stainless bezel, etc. The smaller LE would be nice but I can't wean a 38.5. This watch was perfect! Any pics or experiences with any 57s?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Braclet Market Strategy
I'm a little curious. What if Rolex began offering the option to ditch the braclet on certain models (like the DJ or GMT) in favor of a strap? Certain brands do this already (Omega, Blancpain) and it lowers the cost of the watch by over $2k. This is especially useful for people (like myself) who prefer straps over bracelets, particularly on watches that aren't specifically designed to be in the water.Just wondering the general thoughts of the community.
