Lange & Sohne Datograph Lumen, 2018.
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 ...
Sorry to differ this time mon ami.
Personally this uniquely beats the original. Gorgeous while teutonically true at the same time
I must confess I am not a huge fan of all the A. Lange & Sohne watches but I do like this one a lot.
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...
If you are.given the opportunity
this piece at release price (below market price) vs original at today market price Which one would you buy ? 🙂
I meant the lumen at 93K Euro which is discounted from today market price
VS Data Original at current market price (Used 60K ?)
I prefer the non-Lumen versions...
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.
The Zeitwerk came first I believe... and the concept was developed so that time telling isn't compromised in the dark.
I like the Grande Lange 1 Lumen too (without the moonphase).
I know...
That's why I had to specifically mention without the moonphase. 😄 I like the moon to be in its original location.
Yes, the Lumen moon is special…
The glowing moon seems to be the perfect pairing for the Lumen series.
I agree with you, Nicolas.
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...
Understood. Good choice - certainly spectacular with the Lumen treatment.
Wow, what a gorgeous and interesting photo - merci. Love them both so much!!!
