Part 6: Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar (PG)
Jan 26, 2014,07:54 AM
The Lange 1 Tourbillon Perpetual Calendar is now available with a Pink Gold case, all the other elements remain the same. I liked to see this version because it brings the warm feeling of the material. I remind you that the Lange 1 Tourbillon PC is a very complex watch, famous for its months display, its instantaneous jump of data and its Tourbillon non-visible dial side. The production is very limited and a few Platinum watches have been delivered. Maybe I would have waited a bit more before unveiling this version.
Only the Tourbillon written on the dial reminds us the presence of the complication:
The watch uses a central rotor automatic movement. The choice of a central rotor was made to make the movement as thin as possible.
On the wrist, still a very legible dial despite an original lay-out:
Some data:
Case: PG
Diameter: 41,9mm
Thickness: 12,2mm
Power Reserve: 50 hours
Automatic movement, 624 parts, 76 jewels
Pros:
+ the warm touch of the material
+ still an impressive watch which takes advantage of the Lange 1 dial lay-out
+ the instantaneous jump of the data
+ a very legible dial
Cons:
- the power reserve is short for a PC watch but a winder can be used of course
