I would hihglight the big seconds subdial and its target/shotgun sight aspect. The inner side of the minutes track at six surrounds it, nice detail.

I have mixed feeling about it…

I absolutely admire RGL for reviving the Swiss watch industry, love chronoswiss and owned a few over the years, Am just not sure what is the plan for Lang 1943 as a brand.

A chronograph, a regulator?? Time will tell.

I find this first release a good debut. Do/did you have a Chronoswiss with a C.112 caliber? If so, what is your opinion?
