If you'd have to choose one Zeitwerk, which one would you go for?
Rules are simple: choose only one. Doesn't matter If it's still in production or not. Don't Take Into Account your current collection (e.g. doesn't matter If you already own it).
Striking Time or Decimal Repeater, in platinum. Definitely not...
... the ZW Handwerkskunst or the ZW Phantom/Lumen. Never liked those particular Zeitwerks very much, though I know I'm in the minority there!
Were you able to compare striking time and decinal Strike iin the Metal?
Do they feel/Look a Lot different (other than the obvious "Sound"/strike difference)?
They're much more alike than different.
They're identical in size and I think appearance, except for the color of the case metal and the finish on the hammers. Both are really attractive. I prefer platinum to honey gold in general. I don't recall how much heavier platinum is compared to honey g...
I did TRY to like them! I stared at photos, waiting to feel the earth move. Still waiting!

Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst
limited edition of 30 with a tremblage engraved dial and grey time indication.. absolutely stunning! That is the fantasy watch. I did own an original zeitwerk in Wg, however would choose the striking time if I were to re-purchase a zeitwerk due to the nov...
WG Zeitwerk
White gold, black dial, time only zeitwerk. The most basic of them all and the most recognizable even from a distance.
Basic model
I think the dial is very pretty but it needs space to breathe. The other models kind of crowded out the spaces on the dial and detract from the original design.
The Lumen for me.
I do not think there are many watches that can top the ZW Lumen. In metal it is absolutely gorgeous, such badass watch. The smokey dial is breathtaking and suits very well to Zeitwerk. Closely followed by the white gold variant.
Zeitwerk MR. Just wears perfect.
Closely followed by the HWK then the Phantom, even if they are a bit on the small. Honorable mention is the Striking Time.
