Thanks Brego
I agree on micro rotors - the beauty and thinness of manual movements with the practicality of automatics. I would also love to get a Patek with the caliber 240 or the Geneva seal version of the Chopard L.U.C. Laurent Ferrier is still a bit too pricy for me

Some thoughts on my A. Lange & Söhne 308.031 ‘Langematik’
I have just celebrated my one-year ownership anniversary with my first Lange, a 308.031 'Langematik'. In accordance with Lange’s numbering conventions, the first three digits (308) indicate the model (Langematik with big-date at 12 o’clock, 37mm case) and...
This pink gold / black dial combo is so gorgeous. Very nice. Your shots bring to my mind my 301.021 I let go few years ago
Thank you for your review MG. Best wishes Alkiro
What a great read, and beautiful pics, too! Just heard a few hours ago...
... that my 308.021 is back from servicing (for the first time in about 13 years) and waiting for me. I'll pick it up in a week or two. I am excited to see what the dial and movement look like through the newly instaled AR-coated crystals (the original cr...
Yellow gold/champagne dial?
I love that configuration too. To me, Langes in yellow gold look great. To be honest, I went with pink gold/black dial because I found the watch for the right price. I would be just as happy with that combo too. Please let me know if the new crystal is a ...
Yes, YG/champagne dial, but with blue hands.
Below is an old pic. I'll take another one of dial and movement after I get the watch back. I've had Lange replace non-AR-coated crystals with AR-coated crystals on several other watches over the years, and I've always found it to be a very noticeable, po...
Updated pics...
Just got the watch back with the new AR-coated crystals installed. The difference is most definitely apparent in person, when the lighting conditions vary. The crystals are invisible in many lighting conditions. I'm very happy with the result. [On a relat...
The glass is invisible!
Truly gorgeous CR, I will definitely consider this upgrade when it comes time to put my watch in for service. And I love Lange in Yellow Gold/Champagne dial! I'm currently favouring that configuration for my next Lange. I love the feeling when a watch com...
The three quarter rotor has a charm that the center rotor doesn't have
I can only assume that Lange is switching to a center rotor because it is more efficient at winding the movement (larger rotor=greater moment of inertia)? I suppose the other 'upside' with the center rotor is that you seem to get a bit more 22k gold and p...
Great review.
Thanks. Walter Lange owning one really is the maximum accolade a watch can have, isn’t it? I love those small rotor movements. They have the best of both worlds in my appreciation

Thanks Chromatic Fugue
It goes without saying that your Lange 1 moonphase is simply stunning
Thank you for the knowledgeable review!
Considered an oddity by many, I enjoy my rare 309.031 on its both sides. ...
Beautiful piece - thanks for sharing
It is an interesting design, being symmetrical around the x-axis (with the text) and asymmetrical around the y-axis (with the different hour markers and minutes track at 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock). The overall effect is quite different from the (perhaps more...
