Both wonderful watches,
and there is no cleaner display of a perpetual calendar than the Moser. I am a big fan of perpetual calendars, and this complication is a must-have for me.
But then there is Lange, and there is the Lange 1 Lumen. I do go back and forth in regard to the value of this watch relative to its high price. But I don't go back and forth in regard to the semi-transparent dial that Lange introduced first on the Zeitwerk Luminous and now on the L1 Lumen--I love this "complication."
I would go for the Lange. You will love the watch on your wrist. It will probably be one of your long-term "keepers," and it does not seem the Moser fits in this category for you. The Lumen has been in very high demand since it was introduced, it is never a bad opportunity to get a limited-edition Lange, and this is one of the best.
Go with your heart, though it is certainly possible your heart is in two places, and it is not a bad idea to get feedback here. Seems the opinions so far here are unanimous--go with the Lumen.
(And I think it will be easier in the future to find another Moser, if it turns out you have made a mistake.)
Would you swap an H.Moser Perpetual 1 for a Lange Lumen?
Hello Purist brothers, Today I come with an unusual comparison, more than unusual some will consider this a mis-placed comparison because both pieces have very little in common, but still I am very interested in knowing the opinion of the Purist family be...
It's always so sad ( but inevitable in the watch world) to make decision solely based on..
Potential investment or not.....what's the point collecting if it's not for your own pleasure? Save up and buy a flat ,that's in the long run a better investment. Obviously some sort soft money consideration moves any purchase we make,but watch collecting...
Alejandro, first of all ...
welcome at PuristSPro! Regarding discount, price and investment I will sent you a PM and had to do edit it. Back to your question: I would do it, but that is maybe just me and me taste. Also I am not crazy about perpetual calendar´s in general. Cheers, Ol...
First of all, welcome on board!
And my answer is YES! Why? Because I'm not a Perpetual Calendar guy. I find the Lange Lumen very breathtaking while the Moser is much more classic. You have to answer two questions: - do you think that there is no risk to be one day "bored" by the more da...

Agree with Mo's comments...
And as much as I like the Moser, the Lumen would be my choice. Cheers Andeew
Proof that the decision is a personal one...
First up, welcome here Alejandro. Hopefully we will see a lot more of you around here in the future. With watches we are entitled to be schizophrenic. Looking into the future as a cold headed investor: the Lange ticks all the boxes. Looking into the watch...
I think, therefore I am....a one-eyed Indie.....
in this case I will stay with the H.Moser...Definitely! Then, what's best? One fish in the pan or a thousand in the ocean;) Cheers Francois from Down Under
Lumen for me
I am a huge fan of perpetuals and in particular I do like this Moser in other variations. But Lange is Lange. The Lange 1 is iconic and I like the Lumen's design characteristics even though I do not like the numbers on the Hours/Minutes dial. This is a ca...
Whenever a decision is required ….
….. i think one of the best question to ask yourself, would be : the reverse thinking. if you own this lange and someone would like to trade his Moser with you, would you do it ?? the fun about collecting watches, at some point, the wheeling and dealing w...
I own the exact version of Moser P1
And like you, I have the dato, too. I'm also interested in the Lumen myself, and If I need to get the Lumen, I probably need to sell some of my watches, too. However, I won't trade my P1 for the Lumen. Why? 1. I prefer the Zeitwerk Phantom over Lumen. 2. ...
A huge NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from me
I had plenty of opportunities to buy this Lumen, offered by both boutique and grey dealers. and I also happened to be amongst the first owner of a Perpetual One in the world, and since 2010, I have never regretted the Moser P1. besides winning the GPHG aw...
Call me blonde, but I really can't see how the....
two can be compared. The H.Moser is unique, simple, elegant and beautiful. Its mouvement is exquisitely designed and finished. On the other hand, the Lumen is "robocopish" and not illuminating my heart nor soul. As much as I love the Lange 1 Moon Phase Pl...
Bravo!!!...
The word we have all been looking for, and for a long time, to describe the attractive but soul-less watch (and it comes to us from a Swisstralian!) - "Robocopish". Love it! Cheers, pplater.
Well, coming from The Guardian of the.........
Taj Mahal...... I take this as a grand compliment Pplater;) Cheers FransOZ
Thanks everyone!...you have messed even...
Thanks everyone!...you have messed even more my head! lol I think I will need to get them both...need to give it a few thoughts still and most of all, see the Lange 1 in the flesh. I find very smart the "reverse" approach of "tic-toc", despite not being s...
