A. Lange & Söhne

Platinum case. The power reserve indicator is better included, in this open dial. It won't beat the Dato first generation for me, but it is cool looking, like this. Best, Nicolas ...  

Nice Dato...

Personally this uniquely beats the original. Gorgeous while teutonically true at the same time

It may be in part due to the lovely blue/grey dial colour which is one of my favourite colours for a dial as well as the way everything is so clean and legible and I really like the big date. I know what i have said may be considered blasphemy by some but... 

this piece at release price (below market price) vs original at today market price Which one would you buy ? 🙂

VS Data Original at current market price (Used 60K ?)

first or second is fine. I was really excited about the first Lumen (the Zeitwerk) but the novelty worn off after the second release for me. This Dato Lumen is the forth Lumen I believe.

I like the Grande Lange 1 Lumen too (without the moonphase).

That's why I had to specifically mention without the moonphase. 😄 I like the moon to be in its original location.

The glowing moon seems to be the perfect pairing for the Lumen series.

I like the Lumen series - but I think the Zeitwerk was the peak of the species and that Lange perhaps ought to have stuck with that. I much prefer the argenté dials - and, by tradition, black dials on their chronographs. First generation vs. second genera...

Wow, what a gorgeous and interesting photo - merci. Love them both so much!!!
