I would rather like..
... the NEW Grand Lange 1 without overlapping circles, more original, more golden ratio circles, etc., but it is up to your taste.
Daymatik - the least discussed model. Some say it was a failure, but I actually like it. Slightly bigger than Lange 1, but less than 40mm and wearable enough for me. I think it makes sense to have the hour and minute on the right hand side so that it is more viewable when worn on our left wrist. Big date and day on the dial makes sense, too. And the new automatic caliber seems quite good as well. Lange's automatic is as good as, if not better than, Patek's IMVHO. The design concept is now applied to the 2012 SIHH Novelty - Lange 1 Perpetual Tourbillon. There may be more variation in the future.

Grand Lange 1 or Lange 1 Timezone ?
Hi everyone here, I am thinking to purchase my 1st Lange watch and was considering either Grand Lange 1 Platinium or Lange 1 timezone whiteGold since the price range is about the same. However I find that the Lange 1 timezone is very complicated, do anyon...
It is difficult to answer...
... as it "depends"; on your preference, on your priority, etc. I have owned neither, so I may not be qualified to give you specific answers - there are reasons why I have not owned either while I have owned, perhaps, more than 10 Langes. The reason why N...
Thank you for your comment
Hi Ken , thank you for writing these and really appreciated. I never owned Lange before and that day I saw the former version of grand lange 1 platinum at AD and fall in love. I owned several Patek and would like to try Lange this time. What u think the l...

Sweet dilemma
This is the kind of problem I would love to have ^^ Personally, I would choose a Lange 1 Timezone in either White Gold or Platinum. It's a personal thing but I'm not a big fan of yellow gold. Lange 1 Timezone is actually my next goal (fingers crossed) aft...
Thanks totoro
Thanks for your respond. Your explanation make me understand more on how the timezone work but it seems like there is two hand on the small dial and should the hand move or the city flag move. Anyway appreciated your view. thanks
I would go to the Grand Lange 1
I take the plunge... why? Because I love this new Grand Lange 1: its purer dial makes it very attractive. New movement, new dial... Grand Lange 1 for me! Fx...
I can say that the Timezone is extremely useful for me
Hi there Randy, Glad to see you are moving away from Patek and into the realm of the absolute best watch manufacturer in the world! While i do not own the Grand Lange 1 ( new nor old), i have had the Lange 1 TimeZone ( in Pt though) for a long time. I use...
Small dial got two hand ?
Hi Stephen Thank you so much for your reply. It is clear in your explanation of how the timezone work except I don't understand there are two hand at the smaller dial which show the destination timezone, one longer hand and one shorter hand. When it move ...
The small dial is hours and minutes
As the Timezone function jumps in increments of one hour the minute hand does not move. When the pusher is depressed at 8 o'clock, the city ring (or flags as you mentioned) moves by one city and the hour hand on the small dial moves by one hour. The minut...
Sorry to revive an old thread!
I've been seriously considering my first Lange, to commemorate a career achievement. Being a frequent traveler I've always been drawn to dual-time watches, but I have found that not all dual-time watches are made equal. I have been researching on the Time...
I would go with the new Grand Lange 1..........
I think the new layout is spectacular! I love the timezone as well I just think the new layout and platinum is such a nice combination. Good luck with your decision. Tony
