...with the minute hand jerking or with it changing at seconds 57-59, but that is no longer the issue with more recent production models. My advice is, get a recent production used model, and ask the seller to send you a photo of the watch in motion.

The zietwerk is a beautiful and iconic watch, especially for A Lange & Sohne. Happy hunting!

Once you send your watch in for service it will come back with the instantaneous jumping minutes- its a small adjustment that they are doing to any Zeitwerk that goes in for service in addition to new models.

I am attaching his pic and one from Hodinkee for comparison. The article from Hodinkee is from 2014 so the picture should be one from an older movement. ...
