Lange & Sohne Grande Lange One Moon Phase Lumen ( 2016 ).
I am not a big fan of the Lumen, at the exception of two watches, the Datograph Lumen, which I find really magnificent, and this Grande Lange One Moon Phase Lumen, which is very romantic. The idea of making a luminous moon phase is really and and great, i...
I love the Lange 1, obviously a cult classic...
I have never seen these lumen models in the flesh. I was rather impressed by the Lange 1 Grande MoonPhase, was seriously on my grail list but I put something before it which I will show you soon enough, silly COVID put my plans back a couple of months. As...
It is an interesting watch but not a favorite of mine.
The Lumen concept works for me best with the more technical Datograph. I am of course biased owning the PT version of the Grand Lange 1 moonphase ….
My fav lumen is actually the zeitwerk phantom
Love the effect of numerals all over the dial
Beautiful shots of a great piece.
I'm a big fan of the lumen series, both the Dato Lumen and Zeitwerk Phantom are amongst my favourite pieces. ...
This is my favourite Lange 1
In general I have not been drawn to Lange 1 while I love most every other collection for ALS. However the first time the grand Lange 1 lumen, everything changed!
On this one nothing!
With age it gets harder for me to properly see time without my glasses on watch smaller then 40mm. The Lange 1 by design having a smaller “time display then the size of the case” makes it harder for me read time ... I love the design though...just less pr...
Stars shine bright
I love this watch. While some moon Lange 1s don’t do it for me (I love Lange 1 and it’s my daily wear, but the bright moon feels more casual for this watch - just one opinion), this one looks spectacular. I absolutely love the lumen stars. This watch woul...
The Lumens are very cool looking...but what happens in ten years...
or whatever, when the luminosity loses its 'juice.'? Does everything have to be replaced? Silly question I know, but does anyone know the answer?
I doubt so. I mean, I doubt that Luminova will loose its luminous with time passing. I may be wrong, but Luminova is not tritium, and from what we see with 22 or 23 years old watches...
They don't loose their luminous at all! Best, Nicolas
So what in the heck is on my '83 Submariner?...
...the glow disappeared 20 years ago...
Yes, I know...
...what I meant was, radium was found to be quite dangerous which is why it was replaced by tritium and then luminova. With radium, the watch glowed and so did you : )
Thanks Nico for discussing the Lumens... what is so innovative to me
Is the coatings Lange put on the dial so it is transparent to UV to charge the luminova while under the dial...
