You've got my favorite version. But it frustrates me that Lange hasn't done my dream version: they can keep the case and movement unchanged, just give me some kind of black sporty dial. Maybe sector, maybe painted arabics, maybe mixed painted arabics and indices, maybe luminous hands.... there are lots of ways it might go nicely. Remember this unique Rexhepi? It would be so easy for Lange to do a Richard Lange that hits the same great notes:
Love the white colours, they are matching very well to the snow!
In fact, in the early 2000's, it posed quite a design challenge for Lange. The long seconds hand kept fluttering - and this was something Lange could simply not accept. Accordingly, after trying several mitigating options but not being happy with the resulting drag on balance amplitude, movement designer, Burkhardt Geyer, designed a split tensioning wheel in the raised centre-seconds train - it its the wheel that is typically silver in colour instead of the other two which are natural brass colo
