Sorry, just saw this new thread. I just posted this in the other thread...
A Zenith reference book says Zenith first used a multi-disc day/night moonphase indicator in February 2008, with the launch of the El Primero 4034 reference. Lange's implementation of this concept may be a bit nicer. Zenith actually did use a sapphire disc -- see this video (specifically go to 3 minutes 24 seconds into the video to hear a description of the sapphire disc). I'm not sure if other brands did this as well.

Elegant solution for a day-nite indicator..
The new Lange 1 moonphase is a very clever solution to combine a day nite indicator with a moonphase.. Such a design will be very useful for perpetual calendars.. Also, the moon rotates over a evolving skyline, which is rather appealing and novel for a mo...
Nice...always good to see continuous improvement....better bang for bucks going forward
as competition get stiffer. I like the new black dial version. Rgds Raymond
Why do you think the pivot will be visible?
They don't show a full moon in the videos, but wouldn't the seconds hand be sitting above this anyway? However, bravo again A Lange & Sohne, this is actually a very cool way to display the moonphase. Only WIS's will care about a moving day/night disc as w...
Nearly all the pics show a waxing moon
But I found one pic which illustrates what I mean (look at the bottom of the moon).. the moon is attached to the pivot via a ledge.. At full moon, it may be more obvious.. In any case it's a clever and elegant solution.. ...
I see what you mean
It could also be showing just because it is macro at an angle that we might never see without a loupe.... lets await a full moon to see!!
a very liitle but equally huge new feature from Lange
A sapphire disc would shatter easily when you drop the watch and therefore I welcome the pivot solution. Lange is known to make good and also solid watches. Thank you for the post. Best Moritz
I get your point..
It's a clever and novel moonphase.. Hope to see it implemented in a perpetual cal too

Brilliant design
They are ages ahead of others. Wonder if their innovations are patented?
Thanks for the video..
mounting the moon on a sapphire disc will certainly increase the thickness of the movement so Langes approach definitely helped in keeping the case thickness to 10mms.. More brands should do this..
Sorry, but ...
I don\'t find this day-night plus moon phase particularly clever or elegant. For one thing, it gives 12 hour "days" which is almost always wrong. And I think that most future owners of this watch will miss seeing the starry sky disk on their wrists. Near ...
Yup, I posted a similar possible reaction on another forum.
I'm interested to see this in person because I wonder if I'd miss seeing the stars in the background all the time. I suspect I might. For me, those background stars are the main aesthetic appeal of the Lange 1 moonphase complication. I think I'd prefer to...
Right, seeing the watch sometimes changes the heart...
Sorry I missed your post on the other forum, Craig, I\'ve been remiss on the forums generally. Knowing your serious interest in moonphases, your comments carry a lot of weight! -pay
