My vote goes for the Zenith Academy George Favre Jacot
Why?
Because it's a more interesting watch if you ask me. And I feel it's better value.
I've always liked the Lange Zeitwerk and wouldn't mind a black dialed version one day, but the Zenith is a better candidate if you ask me. Then again, if you're question was for the Zenith Christophe Colomb, my vote would be hands down for the Colomb.
Tough choice! The dial is definitely more interesting to look at on the Zenith though.
Cheers,
Anthony
This or That ?
Hey Guys Cross posted this on the Zenith forums. In the market for a nice classic piece but would like to get something with a real complication. Have zeroed in on the following - a. Lange Zeitwerk b. Zenith Academy George Favre Jacot (the constant force)...
Interesting Comparison
I will admit I just had to do a quick background-read to fully appreciate the Zenith, it is a beauty. I enjoy the exposed chain & fusee constant force, even if I would tend to prefer it to be a more stealthy-complication. From a time-reading perspecti...
The Zeitwerk of course!
Don't get me wrong: the Zenith is a great watch, maybe my fav one from the brand these last years. But I think that on a long run, you may become a bit tired of the dial lay-out with the strong presence of the chain. On the other hand, the Zeitwerk offers...

Why it is more interesting?
The Lange has also an impressive constant force system which in its case has a real impact on the time display. I find the value of the Zeitwerk much higher. Fx
For me, it's mainly the Zenith dial that's more interesting
Even though I like the Zeitwerk, I'm afraid I may get tired of the dial because it does looks weight-scale'ish to me. It's one of the reasons why I haven't pulled the trigger on this Lange. Cheers, Anthony
That's what makes it a tough call -- movement side vs. dial side...
I'd have a hard time deciding between the ZW and the Zenith based upon the dial side. The Zenith is a very cool dial to look at! But then, when you turn them over, the ZW wins hands-down. The ZW is a watch that I find myself constantly removing from my wr...
Zeitwerk hands down..
Aesthetically I prefer it way better than the Zenith.. But that's me.. Good luck with ur selection
