Grand Lange 1

But my preference goes to the smaller version (that indeed at over 38 is not so small). The best in my opinion is the one with the specular dial with hours on the right, the problem is that it is the tourbillon version with its hefty price tag... Out of s... 

I'm not sure many prefer the new design

In my case I prefer the former one. Why? Because it has character. The new one is just an enlarged Lange One. The former one was offering something different. Fx

A great pic, great looking watch as well
