True, it might be almost too thin for a 41mm watch.

But it should be okay. The Nautilus is around 40mm and around 8mm thick. It doesn't seem out of proportion.

2022 A. Lange & Søhne Novelties
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-09:14
2022 has come for A. Lange & Soehne, and the Saxon-based brand has blessed us with a traditional slide-powered minute repeater! The star of this year's selection. 1. A Richard Lange Minute repeater is launched this year. Like the Richard Lange Pour Le Mer...
Probably!

I'm personally not a fan of the shape of the Odysseus. I don't find the design my thing at all. But there are definitely fans of the Odysseus out there!
They didn't give me the pricing...
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-10:12
A lot of press releases this year aren't mentioning the pricing. But I bet it's going to be super expensive!
Perhaps!
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-10:40
It's arguable that the entire Odysseus line was designed to take advantage of the sports watch hype. I still remember 10 years ago when Lange executives like Timo Bobeck were saying that a sports watch wasn't in their DNA.
Ouch!

woah more than the gold crazy

and unjustified but..at the same time may be it will cool off the secondary market
That would be a nice watch if it sounds good!
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-15:51
I'm a little worried about the sound. The Swiss-French brands like Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, and even Jaeger-leCoultre do such a good job... Will the Lange be able to compete objectively?
Exactly!

And the ZW MR was huge! And difficult to wear! I had the ZW Hour striker and that was huge. Never wore it out except for a few hours in the house.
That’s because..

The nautilus wears like a < 40mm watch.. A better example would be the 1815 40mm version, the thickness is ~ 9mm? I find the proportion would be better if it was a tad thicker
Here is a shot

from the side.. it is a very classy piece nonetheless ...
Gorgeous!

Really well done from Lange!
By: houstonian : March 30th, 2022-14:23
The RL minute repeater is amazing and perfect … enamel, platinum, 39mm! The Grand Lange 1 looks fabulous with the new graining on the dial, and thinner case should be really well received. Titanium Odysseus is very attractive… I’m told its only for the me...
Sounds like you're happy!
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-15:52
I'm not happy that they made the Titanium Odysseus so hard to get, but oh well, I'm not a fan of the Odysseus - but I feel bad for the people who do like it.
Let's hear how it sounds first!
By: patrick_y : March 30th, 2022-16:00
The Germans aren't known for their minute repeaters. But I'm hoping it to have good tonality, a medium to loud volume (not likely due to platinum case), and a good speed (17-19 seconds for the 12:59 sequence).
Sounded a bit quiet.
By: patrick_y : March 31st, 2022-02:32
Good tonality, but not great. Good speed, maybe slightly slow. After one hears the Vacheron Constantin and the Patek Philippes, I feel a little spoiled. The JLCs are super loud too, although tonality and speed can actually vary quite a bit at JLC.
It is indeed a magical moment.
By: patrick_y : April 1st, 2022-01:51
In all honesty, the modern Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, and Audemars Piguet minute repeaters are all very good. Keep in mind, Audemars Piguet makes the most special minute repeaters, as they have a history with Carillons (three gong or more repeat...
You're welcome!
By: patrick_y : April 2nd, 2022-01:08
I can describe the sound of minute repeaters probably more thoroughly as I describe the tasting notes in wine. Hence why I could be a watch sommelier, but I haven't passed the basic certification for a wine sommelier by the Court of Master Sommeliers. But...
Not at all!
By: patrick_y : April 3rd, 2022-01:21
They're rare everywhere! Even I don't always get to hear them! But sometimes I get so excited that they sound "better" than they actually are. So I have to go back to my objective reasoning.
Love Lange and happy to see them addressing thickness
By: g_schroder : March 31st, 2022-13:57
There's no question that the Richard Lange Minute repeater is the start of the show, but as you note - impossible to obtain but for a lucky few. So, I'll need to be content just knowing they exist and hope our paths cross someday to see on in the metal. T...
Glad you like it!
By: patrick_y : March 31st, 2022-15:05
It's a little thick for me, and I still have to hear it! Our man on the ground, Amanico, will be giving us a tone, volume, and speed report soon.
