Sorry but the only problem I have with Lange is the date window.
I have trouble with the level difference on the discs and that is the reason my Lange have no date. On the other hand, I love how Glashütte original has solved it.
I see your point but it’s something which has never bothered me as the separation between the two discs hides this “issue” for me
Now, I’m sure you’ll never own a Zeitwerk. The different levels between minute discs would drive you crazy 😁 I didn’t remember you had a Lange by the way. Which model is it? Best wishes Alkiro
You can learn a old dog to sit
of course I can change my mind if you sell me a daymatic cheap. I have a 40mm 1815 in WG.
It depends on what “cheap” means for you 😉
Hey my friend, the last shots of your Lange were taken at least one year ago. You have to take new shots of it soon 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
I would have to second this
I have two problems with the Lange date window: the metal bar separating the two numbers and the other is not having a zero before the digit for the first nine days of the calendar. I just can't get to like this arrangement for some reason, that is just m...
The design of the Lange date is clearly inspired by the Dresden Opera clock which implies advantages and drawbacks. I love it but I fully understand your position too. Just a matter of tastes nothing more
Regarding the GO date, I owned a Senator Perpetual Calendar and its date didn’t jump at midnight like the new Lange one and its date for instance. But, maybe the new GO models with date have an instantaneous jump at midnight (I would say no nevertheless)....
Thanks for this
I did not know the inspiration behind Lange's date windows. Yes, of course it is a personal taste. It is good that we enjoy different things, that is what makes the wonderful variety of everything in this world.
Lange uber alles, BUT
GO'd date has been by far better than Lange, since the beginning. Not only the old lange 1 took half an hour to set the date, but there's also a small misalignment of the windows. I'm aware that the Dresden opera watch is Lange's symbol, but it doesn't me...
Absolutely. But, I saw them (the II and the III) in real and sometimes, like the Zeitwerk, you have misalignments
But it’s another topic and I agree with you that the Lange date could be improve (partially done with the instant jump at midnight with the new caliber). The difference of level won’t be modify in my opinion as it’s now full part of the Lange date DNA. Be...
I hope i can get another lange (sooner or later)
Lange 1 is more likely, datograph is my grail!
