The “dead donkey”
Nov 27, 2022,19:55 PM
As those in the “know”… the OEM box for Langematik Perpetual doubles as a winder for the piece and tips the scales at a hefty 7 kgs…hence its moniker “the dead donkey.”
This bulk is so prohibitive that many sets don’t come with the winder, but just come with a plain box or no box at all.
Note the 2nd picture you can see the gears from the back side and the battery compartment that holds 2 D cells and rotation control.

As this model is discontinued… my comment is more towards those that are looking for complete sets; many times the sellers don’t want to ship the watch with the heavy winder (high insurance high weight) = high expense. All new Lange LP come with this wind...
You also got the best version 1 with pusher advance 👍

If I remember correctly, they removed this because of inadvertent advances. But I think it is the smartest feature on a PC. If I was interested in a perpetual, this is a top contender. As for shipping, I agree the prices to ship are going up, and collecto...
Yup, you are correct. Lange removed the physical

Pusher button. But to be clear, this synchronized advance still exists on all Lange perpetual and annual calendars… but require the stylus or toothpick. Yeah this extra accessories are nice but for me it’s more for completeness, than actual useful ness ...
Yea seems silly

But I have definitely heard it on an interview on YouTube, just can't remember which or where. Regardless it is unfortunate because that is such a great way to interact with a perpetual without needing any "tools"
Agreed!
