At the “Watches and Miracles” exhibition in recent days, Lange launched a novel 34mm 1815 watch, which it claims is an “ideal companion in the workplace.” But will the design of this watch be popular among working men? The 34mm watch diameter seems a bit unusual in the current trend of large watch diameters. Is this design courage or strategy? Next, let’s take a closer look and see the charm of this watch.

Watch reviews

At this year’s “Watches and Wonders” exhibition, Lange launched a new 34mm 1815 watch. The dial of the watch is made of 925 sterling silver, which is very luxurious, and the strap is made of crocodile leather with a gold pin buckle. This configuration looks perfect. The price is 27,000 euros, equivalent to about 220,000 yuan. Although it is expensive, it is still relatively reasonable for this watch.

From the appearance point of view, this new 34mm watch is very elegant, with a thickness of only 6.4mm, which can almost compete with the quartz watches on the market. The contrast between the curved polished bezel and different craftsmanship adds a lot of visual impact to the entire watch. This design is very pleasing. Lange said that this watch is an “ideal companion in the workplace.” Such a declaration makes people a little worried. After all, most working women still prefer smaller watches. If Lange’s watch is really designed for working men, then the 34 mm diameter is really rare.

And as a long-established company in the watchmaking industry, Lange is quite courageous in this design. In the field of high-end formal watches, 34 mm is almost a blank area. Most watches have a diameter between 38 and 42 mm. Even if it is smaller, few people have seen a watch below 30 mm. Lange’s new 34 mm watch seems to be redefining this field.

Movement performance

Of course, in addition to the surprises in appearance design, this new 1815 watch has also been greatly improved in movement performance. It is equipped with Lange’s 75th self-produced movement L152.1, which not only improves the stability and accuracy of the movement, but also increases the original 55-hour power reserve to 72 hours. This is already a very good result among mechanical watches.

At the same time, this movement also solves some problems existing in the old movement, such as low winding efficiency, excessive thickness of the movement, etc. With Lange’s improvements, this movement not only has higher winding efficiency, but the thickness of the movement is also effectively controlled.

Conclusion

Lange’s new 1815 watch has made considerable breakthroughs in appearance and movement performance. Especially in this era when large watch diameters are the mainstream, the 34mm design is eye-catching. For professionals, whether this watch can really become an “ideal companion” is still worth discussing. Do you think this size is suitable for the workplace?
