I’m indifferent about this new Zeitwerk. The original has a wow factor. Initially, that’s not my reaction for the new one.

I have to see it in the flesh, but from the photos, the monochromatic-like look isn’t that appealing. I haven’t even got to the extra 2mm yet. Thus far, I’m not excited, but will reserve judgment for now.
A new Zeitwerk is born, this year: The Zeitwerk Date. The case is bigger than the original Zeitwerk (44, 2mm ) whilte the original was 41, 9 mm big, and tad ticker ( 12, 3 mm versus 12, 2 mm ). The combination of white gold and grey dial is very nice. But...
However, aesthetic wise, the date display takes up a portion of the entire dial and not sure how it will blend in with the hour/minute display. Will reserve my judgement until seeing the real thing.
Adding a date to it, I thought wouldn’t be possible but I would say ALS have done it aesthetically well (yes the color scheme is too serious/dull but it is Lange...). I also like the way the date is highlighted in RED, well thought out ! If anything I don...
The addition of date and quick-set functions have vastly improved day to day wearing practicality of the watch. The ability to adjust the hours independently in 1 hour increments should also come quite handy when travelling. The movement as well is improv...
I would have loved to see a chronograph Zeitwerk. Maybe a mono counter in place of the power reserve. Possibly not the direction ALS wants to go with the 1815 and datograph already in the lineup. The technical complexities may also make it to big, but one...
I love it aesthetically and technically. My third favourite piece of the year behind the VC dual frequency perpetual and the JLC masterpiece for immortals. You photos illustrate the dial beautifully. Thank you,

now the pr indicator become more useful.. But aesthetically I think the date ring doesn’t go well with the zeitwerk look.. Perhaps they could have left out the seconds indication and used a pointer date system in the 6 oclock subdial.. tat way the watch c...
Living with the original Zeitwerk, I have to say, it's a really cool watch. But there are some flaws... 1. It's huge for a dress watch. And thick! 2. It's really hard to wind, the crown is downright very painful to wind as the mainspring is a thick gauge ...
As a Zeitwerk owner, I never consider it as a dress watch. It is more like a smart casual wearing to me. That comes to the design nature of the watch, a thick and black dial with a significant weight adding a sportiness/ casual nature, simply reminding “o...
I have to say, if I didn’t have a Triple Split on order and if there was no limit to this craziness, I would have ordered one on the spot. By far my favorite watch at the fair.
