As a lover of celestial skies,I love the back of this watch..

Very imaginative and original(not the fact to put it on the back…….),in the sense of using the balance as the sun…..maybe a light smoked sapphire disk oner the earth(a la Vacheron)would have made the effect more ….effective.
The front of the watch is another story,very close to a car crash…possibly one of the worse from Lange:dials,fonts,apertures of different shapes and sizes,but most of all,that text "perpetual calendar"and "14 days power reserve"on the dial….I don't like the functions of a watch written on the dial,I always find it…cheap,apart from when they are really useful…
I find a big incoherence between the back and the front of this watch,maybe less would be better as you said:moon display on back,chronometer on front thats it.Also because the sizes of the watches are usually very big,so its true,they are complicated,but not elegant so…less is more sometimes.
Lange though love to cram in a lot of complications(for example the tourbillon on the Lange 1PC….no need for a tourbi there),maybe because that is something that they can do so well,lets say that the lack of design and concept is very often compensate by Lange technical ability and supreme craftsmanship.
