Emil Lange

Sep 25, 2018,03:57 AM
 

Last night at 22:52 EDT the moon was full. I took that opportunity to align the lunar disc in my Emil Lange so as to be accurate to the minute.



This moonphase complication now need not be reset for over One Thousand years! One bit of remorse, however: unless Nicolas bites me I won't be around to readjust it.

That reminds me of a question I had re the moonphase (in general, not specific to the Emil).

The only watch I own with a moonpahse is a perpetual, and so I need not worry about the moon phase as I just need to set the date and all else follows. But without a date, and just a moonphase as you have here then how does one accurately set the moonphas... 

It is annoying...

If you want it to be accurate you find the nearest new / full moon, look up the time of it in a table that Lange give you and set the watch to it. Using the pusher you set the moon to full / new. Then you start moving the hour and minute hands to the curr... 

I used to set the moonphase accurately when I wore this but then...

... my habits changed so that I set the moonphase disc to whatever position I think is prettiest -- usually at least a quarter moon.

Normally there are pushers on the side of the case advancing the indicator one day at a time...

So you only need to know how many days have passed since the last full moon

I would. [nt]

How long until ALS fall under the Richemont spell, will they stop manual and go almost all automatic like they have done JLC 🤔

A flight to Paris, a tasty dinner and an exposed neck is all it takes... ;)

If that isn’t the deal of the millennium I don’t know what is

Let's make it April! [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 25th, 2018-06:44

Is there a particular moon in April? :)

 
 By: KMII : September 25th, 2018-07:17
Sounds like a plan!

13:12:12, on April 19th.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 25th, 2018-08:46
How does that sound?

Is 1:12 PM less scary? [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : September 25th, 2018-10:02

This all sounds like...

 
 By: KMII : September 25th, 2018-12:38
Some sort of pagan ritual timing to me But then again if we are talking a millennium of moon phase settings and vampires, what was I expecting?

Not one to chicken out...

At the sight of fangs, blood and the odd white robe

Well, then...

April 19th, at 1:12PM at Le Bar Gay Lussac. My favorite gay bar-happy bar! Happy bar! White robes will be optional.

Good! [nt]

Watchville

Is a great watch site, download it for free, if you go to the bottom of the front page and hit the time icon it will show you the exact phase of the moon, the new moon and the full moon. It’s also great to time your watches accuracy with...Jim

Yes. Watchville is a great app.

I use it to set my watches, check accuracy and set the moonphase. Well worth the cost. Actually it’s free!!

Mike is that you? [nt]
