3 brands I love...
though not exactly the ones you've shown. ...but that givree finish dial on the L&H looks awesome.
Yes, this finish seems impressive.
But, a bit like you, none of these three particular examples is really for me, even if I admire the watchmaking they involve. Best, Emmanuel
wow ! All are great watches but L&H Dial is amazing
love the color, the numeral, the hands, just whole thing is Gorgeous .
The lumen is a dream watch
When I had a Zeitwerk, I eventually got bored of the dial. I wished it had something moving or more visible. The lumen fixes that! But it’s a watch I wouldn’t buy until many, many others are crossed off the list.
all 3 are top ... but
LANGE I can't stand luminova on a non sports watch A rolex sub, 50 fathoms, and a lot of other get away with it but on something elegant as a lange or a classic watch in general I really hate it So It should have been another Lange , never understood that...
YES
3 friends of me have one ... Im the only sucker that can't afford it And the one you posted is one of the 3 ( obvious with that strap)
Three gems indeed 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻
Of the three it’s the Zeitwerk for me. I am a glhuge fan of the Hamatic movement and the MG but this version would not be my personal favorite 😊🤷🏻♂️ But any of the three is a true gem 💎
I really admire all three, but none really makes me dream here.
Even in different variants, these are not watches I would consider (the reason that comes to my mind is "too sophisticated", for what it's worth...). But the watchmaking is absolutely first class in each of them! Best, Emmanuel
NEW Holy Trinity fir 2026, AWESOME!!!! This is what we love about WPS :-)
So let it be written; so let it be done.
L&H for me.
The other two just vanish compared to this one. Look at those hands! Not even mentioning the rest. Tried on the “regular” Georg few weeks ago, but sadly it doesn’t wear well on my wrist, but it’s a masterpiece nevertheless…
No need to choose one, thankfully!
Admiring the watchmaking and craftsmanship is enough! Best, Emmanuel
I would go with the Lang and Heyne
My question about the Moritz Grossman is how well does that mechanism wind the watch and how serviceable is it? Would it have to back to MG in Germany if it needs work?
Two watches I really have loved for a long time.
The Georg and the ZW. And both, for me, suffer the same issue. Both are just that little bit too large for my wrist. I’ve tried both on for almost as long as each have been around. The Georg I so so wanted to work on my wrist. As at that time 2018/2019 I ...
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts.
The only one I've tried on is the Zeitwerk and it's clearly not for me. Also, even if I deeply admire these watches (in particular the Georg and the Zeitwerk), I tend to find them a bit too sophisticated. For me, they lack some simplicity. The MG is bette...
