Issues with Zeitwerk
Always interested in the Zeitwerk. To me it is a must have model in every Lange collection (apart from Lange 1 and Dato). I do noticed some issues regarding some early models has “sudden” jerk move of the minute plate and the watch stop for no reason...et...

Yes, no visible loading at all...
Hi. I don't have the watch in my house right now. Sleeping in the safe deposit ;-) but I will send you a video when I pick it up again ;-). The Lange website does not show the correct movement for the regular Zeitwerk. They are aware, but apparently not a...
