Horological Meandering

Hello!  Lange1 moonphase is beautiful, Lange1 is practical, the PP is even more practical.  Which one would you preferably own?  I seem to lean towards the beautiful one   Cheers!

I would go for the Lange One, with a black dial.

;=)

Best,

nicolas

thats a beauty....well if they did it with black dial...but they don t..anyway...no doubt for me,that mp is well integrated...lovely.

Mo

Hi Mo, wouldn't a black dial be harder to accentuate the moonphase?  Guess it's hard to imagine how it would look.  Cheers!  Sunway.

actually it will accentuate the dramatic look of the watch...dark like the night with a shiny moon...

Mo

...an entirely different look and feel for the watch.  Maybe moonphase will be added to the new GL1 someday in black dial.  I would love to see that!

...so I'd pick the PP.

I'm a traditionalist too but get fascinated with the less regular sometimes so a self-inflicted dilemma here :-P.  Appreciate your comments!   

Hi Nicolas, I completely overlooked the L1 black dial!  But it does not seem available in the Lange website.  Is it discontinued?  Cheers! Sunway.

because it was "photoshoped" by me and never done by ALS




If you find one, let me know ;-)

That was what Mo was referring earlier!  Black dial like the night with a shiny moon.  It does look pretty good in black dial I must say!  Photoshop should be banned 'cause it makes people long for things that are unavailable...LOL

No, it could be inspiration ...

Oliver

wwe could with your efforts put together a catalog for "One 'wish-they-would-make-it' Watch"!

L1 moonphase. U have to see it in the metal to understand its elegant yet Teutonic feel.

Like this...

Looks dressier than the regular production model with the added details.  Is the guilloche dial in solid gold like the Breguet?  

... but my point is, L1 MP all the way   And begs a question what you expect from the watch - annual calendar automatic, or just big date and cute moon phase handwind.....

beautiful

Oliver

and I did not select any of your candidates. My choice was Lange 1 in WG and a Navy Blue dial. It is simply stunning!

Have never seen one in blue dial!  Much thanks!

Joe

...OK, the blue dial Lange is making me think I would chose this over the PP, so I'm changing my vote if the blue dial is an option.

Thanks Joe!  A nice looking L1 you got there.  Is that also limited edition or you got it before ALS stop producing them?  It's not in the current catalogue.

Now withdrawn

However, my watch is at the moment in the bank vault and I will pick it up tomorrow for a short photo session. So the delivery time will be 24 hours. Trust me; the photo is worth waiting (I don't mean the quality of the photo but the beauty of the watch).

what can I say - I have a think about moonphases and I love the Lange 1 dial.
