In this comparison I would say the 1815.

However, I would say under a loupe, that the finishing on my 5370 is superior to my Dato - possibly not a surprise given the price points and that the 5370 is double assembled by one watchmaker in the high grand comps department (Dato is of course also double assembled).

Dear fellow WIS, As witnessed by the topic matter, please find below (somewhat) recent movement shots I took of my Lange 1815 chronograph (not in my possession anymore BTW) and my Patek 5270G, respectively. Keen to hear your opinions on which movement you...

Lange....

I think the Lange looks more pleasing, more artfully decorated and the architecture is more appealing and pleasing to admire. The Patek looks more industrial by comparison. Finishing certainly looks to be more detailed in the Lange but as you mentioned, t...

I know I’m in the minority.

As much as I love ALS, being part of Richemont knocks it down a notch in my book. Both brands make beautiful watches (front and back). But Patek is Patek for a reason.
Lange wins hands down here

I've compared them in real life and Lange was much much better. I am a proud owner of Dato and, at some stage, was considering buying this Patek too. But after comparing them in my own hands my interest in Patek evaporated completely...

Reminds me of the US Olympic basketball team years ago. They dominated everything. Then the world started catching up. Patek was king. Then the world started catching up. And maybe exceeding their excellence.
Lange!

The finishing of the Lange is superior
By: Eric67 : May 18th, 2024-14:59
But it's very decorated, it's sort of a christmas tree while the Patek is more sober. Objectively, the Lange, subjectively, it's a matter of taste.
