Indeed, the usual magnifience of a moonphase display is dwarfed here.
It would be a deal-breaker for those who prioritise this complication. The array of stars is also better represented in the Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.
Impressions after a week with the Datograph Perpetual
When it comes to watches, the fun is in the hunt. However, the past week has turned this notion completely around for me. The obsession has only grown, and I have spent even more time researching about the reference 410.025 than before. Here are some quic...
Indeed my friend, an extended honeymoon is very likely for the foreseeable future.
The 5960 is probably miffed with its new roommate!
Nice ! Thanks for sharing your experience
And belated congrats! Great pics too. My white gold bro of your watch says hi Cheers Robin ...
You have no idea Robin,
But your post on your 410.038 was one of the "push" factors toward me getting this watch. I am mesmerized by both dial variations.
Haha happy to "enable"
Yes both versions are handsome I agree! Enjoy yours in the best of health my friend Cheers Robin
Indeed my friend, the L95 series is superlative and a game changer.
It shaped my expectations of standards.
No offense to your 5960 but the start button is an offense, being a Patek 😱
It is,quite harsh to activate and makes in some watches even a."pong" noise. Your Lange is a momumental watch, a top pp calendar.
Your observation is most astute, dear Count.
In defence of the Patek, the 5960 is not the fairest comparison. I have to see the difference with a 5970 / 5270.
Thank you for the nice review…you might be an enabler now too, lol…
However the 36hr PR is what’s deterring me from these earlier Langes, like the 1815 Chrono, Dato, ZW etc. The moon phase window is also too small for me, but the watch is mighty and capable, no doubt. Some may say it’s reconnecting with the watch more oft...
Your observation is spot-on, my friend.
The 36-hour power reserve is a drawback that hopefully Lange will address in its next iteration. My 1815 Chrono was the 1st generation release, so in a way I am more or less used to this quirk.
It's a stunning watch in almost every visual regard
The one negative is the moon phase complication, which looks like it's been sacrificed to accommodate other features on the dial.

Oh I'm pretty sure you can pull it off my friend!
Do give it a try in person, you might be surprised! I had similar reservations, but was assured after trying the white gold version, which is of the same dimension.
Thank you for your kind words my friend!
I do not dare to call it a king, but it definitely represents the pinnacle of my watch collection journey thus far. Thank you!
Thanks for the the great photos and insight - it is a beautiful watch for sure
I'm glad you mention "tactile response", and this important merit seems to be a Lange hallmark!
Thanks for the kind words Michael!
I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment that tactile response is a Lange hallmark. It is a critical attribute that is paradoxically unnoticeable, except to the wearer. I definitely enjoy the winding!
No match
I realize many might disagree, but the Patek is no match for this ALS, its not even close.
Lange, with all its flourishes, seduced me into the path of watch collecting.
I am thankful to be fortunate enough to be blessed with both, and they provide versatility for different scenarios: The Lange for dressier occasions, and the Patek when I feel sportier.
Superb watches.
You're a truly lucky man. Enjoy them both. And keep posting those great shots.
Thank you for the kind words Davo!
I'm grateful for having them on my wrist. The pictures will definitely keep coming, hope you guys wouldn't get sick of them!
Thank you for your kind words Aperna!
There are still a number of mysteries I am discovering about this one, will share more in time!
Thank you for the kind words my friend....
.... And I have to say you have a fantastic username!
