This or That ?
Hey Guys
In the market for a nice classic piece but would like to get something with a real complication. Have zeroed in on the following -
a. Lange Zeitwerk
b. Zenith Academy George Favre Jacot (the constant force)
Appreciate your thoughts on what to go for as I like both equally

A complicated watch vs. a throughbred high end timekeeper
Using a very strict definition, a complication is a mechanism which is added to the base timekeeping mechanism, but has nothing to with it or its performance per se. In this sense, the constant force mechanism of the Zenith Academy George Favre Jacot is n...
I've seen the Zenith here in Hong Kong...
and I own the Zeiwerk. It is a big watch by Lange standards, but quite wearable. To me the finish is superb and the complication quite extraordinary. I think either is a good choice. Dave
Now that is a tough one....
They are 2 totally different watches and to be honest I have for a long time been a fan of the Zeitwerk and recently of the Zeitwerk Striking.... BUT.... If I had to chose just one which would it be... Why? I love the fusee, the multi depth dial, stunning...

For me the choice is very clear
I agree with the comments above. I think that Zenith has significantly upped thier game with the Academy line of watches. I have seen the George Favre Jacot and am very taken by it. The fusee chain is fascinating and carries with it a historically signifi...
