It is the inspiration for the large date and Zeitwerk for which Lange are known.




And the actual piece in the Opera.

Looks like the Odysseus is your next favorite after the Dato Lumen?

It is a great piece.

Zeitwerk is also calling loud.

I know ZW is a great piece to add for the Lange family ...

But, it’s kind of big for my wrist.

Understood.

Measurements do not tell the whole story as it is actually thinner by 0.8mm than my Dato and only 0.9mm wider.

If you like you can refer to my report in ALS forum

My wrist is 16cm, tiny, but I think I am ok to wear it.

I agree. It looks great on you and it is all about personal taste.

I am very comfortable with the size of the standard Zeitwerk.

I really think you should spend an extended period of time with a ZW on...

as I find it wears well on my wrist which is 16cm + or - 0.5cm depending on humidity. Have a look below at different angles. ...  

It definitely is an iconic piece of Lange history and looks great too.

Hopefully some day I will own one.

Many thanks. It really was a great trip.

The factory and above all the staff were amazing and the other guests on the trip all had a great passion for the brand.

This beauty was in the Mathematical museum

Thanks for the photos Russell! Did you get to see the "stamping room" with no dies nor stamps but all the wire spark erosion machines?

Glad you had a good visit Russell! I've yet to visit since the expansion!

Had a wonderful trip, but it was short.

Unfortunately Patrick we didn’t get time to see everything. Robert did an amazing job showing us around and of course he took great pleasure showing us around his own department - Zeitwerk.
