Lange Zeitwerk Minute Repeater in platinum, from 2015.
If I had to sum it in a few words, I would say that it is aesthetically great, but acoustically disappointing.
And the movement is always a feast for the eyes. Probably the part of the Zeitwerk I prefer .
Too bad the sound is too low!
Best,
Nicolas

Agreed...
The best Zeitwerk is still the simple one. Has anyone had one as a daily wearer and haven't had problems? Everyone I know who had one seems to have problems. Either stoppage, misaligned discs, or some other problem.
If you tell me, I don’t consider misaligned discs as a problem as it’s always very subtle and not obvious and the other competitors (FPJ Vagabondage II and III and DeWitt Mathematical. I didn’t handle the IWC Pallweber) have the same “problem”.
You have the Zeitwerk cufflinks. So cool! I was close to pull the trigger recently as I found a pair on eBay but the asking price was insane. Best wishes Alkiro
Zero issues

Yes and no...
I've had a ZW Striking Time for 5.5 years. When I first got it, it stopped running prematurely on a few occasions. Lange fixed it quickly, under warranty of course, and the problem never recurred -- zero issues since then. This happened when the Striking ...
All is well, except...
Had my Zeitwerk (white gold) for seven months.. it works perfectly.. no misaligned discs or stoppage.. however, I do notice one thing: the minute disc switches at the 59th second. For the first two months, it switched perfectly at the 60th second.. I hope...
I'd love to hear one in person sometime. I remember very well the reporting...
... when the ZW MR was first released. At that time (SIHH 2015 I think), everyone was very disappointed with the sound. Many said that it was too soft and that Lange shouldn't have released this watch until it sounded better. Then, about a year later I th...
So many things to love about this piece!
Love the depth of the windows, the muted colors...and a style that is unique unto itself. Such a stunner!
The sound was improved a lot between the prototype and the versions delivered in the boutiques.
The volume was not very loud but much more acceptable with a good purity. Much better than the disappointing prototype of the SIHH. Fx
