Any thoughts about the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna 180.032FE
Any thoughts about the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna 180.032FE. I am considering it. Thanks for any feedback.
I’ve always wanted to see one of these in the metal
I know they’re huge, but the shear number of complications is just unreal
Wish I could find an example somewhere, so I could try it on... I too worry about the size?!?
Found it, thanks!
I have tried it and find it unwearable even though my wrist can take the diameter, thick and extremely top heavy - those are the real challenges.
A masterpiece, unquestionably. But in the pocket watch category ...
You should definitely try it before buying. But to give you an idea - it is substantially bigger than double split for example.

I once heard from a fellow collector who has this in Pt....
He has to ask his tailor to alter all his shirts for the left side to cater for the watch because it's not going under the cuff

I was lucky enough to see it once.
It was very, very, VERY impressive. And a “monster” regarding size and weight. And I had to try hard to read the time and think I would have to practice to get all the informations when just taking a quick look at the dial.
A couple of questions ...
(a) Is this an "instantaneous change" perpetual calendar? i.e. do all the indications change exactly at the same time?
(b) And, if so, does the change happens precisely at midnight when the second hand hits 0? (i.e. like the Zeitwerk date)
It's incredible to see in person. I sort of "sold" one (not mine) to someone once.
I was in a store with an acquaintance who was ambivalent. He was asking me what I thought, and it actually looked okay on his very large wrist. He pulled the trigger while I was there. Not sure how long he kept it, though.
Personally, I dislike subdials with significant overlap, so even if it were smaller I wouldn't really like it. But of course, we all have different tastes.
Let us know what you decide!
To me
aside from being way too large and heavy for most people to wear comfortably and not knock it into everything, the regulator dials overlap which makes it very difficult to tell the time at a glance. Obviously, a superb masterpiece, but a watch to be enjoyed on occasion by holding and admiring but not really wearing.
