    Any guesses on price..?

    That is without a doubt the finest wristwatch I have ever seen. Mindblowing.

    Slightly above $200k if I'm not mistaken.

    That thing is stunning. Amazing piece. That moon phase complication is really unbelievable...

    The Lange 31 was about £130,000 iirc.....this has something like twice the number of parts, it's gonna be a fortune!!!!

    Doesn't really do anything for me. I love the combination of blue hands and red accents on the white dial. Also would love this to be the first step for lange to dive into annual/perp without the subdials. Looks so much tidier this way.

    As a horological masterpiece it gets full marks but doesn't quite do it for me, it's a work of art of that there's no doubt

    If you can afford one of these, you can afford a man to wind it for you.

    That's just astounding. Normally that style of watch doesn't do anything for me, but if I had that on my wrist I'd never look at anything else!

    (I'd wear it backwards, obviously)

    Beautiful movement, high standard, extremely well put together and so on but all of that does not detract from the fact that to me it just looks plain ugly. Large (45mm), a very thick case (16.5mm) and appears that it would look like a huge oversized watch on the wrist. Yes I am sure its made with the finest materials with a price to match but even the design of the dial does absolutely nothing for me.

    Another ugly offering from them! Cut off Roman numerals, and the sub dials overlap in a poorly considered way. Big, clever and expensive, yes, beautiful, no.

    It's based on this 1807 design.

    Price aside, I want to like it but just can't. That Roman and Arabic numerals combo always looks strange to me.
    Thanks OP for the post.

    Absolutely gorgeous, this timepiece is on a different level altogether!

  22. #22
    I am a fan of many of the L&S pieces.

    But I have to say that most of their recent releases have left me cold. And the front of this piece is no exception!

    Though, I of love the moon phase & movement :)

    very eye catching

    Catches the eye without doubt and stunning looks, especially the back. Not sure I'd have one tho even if I did win Euro-millions.

    That is seriously cool! I wouldn't get any work done the first few days I owned that watch, I'd simply watch the moon phase dials go round. But, then again, if I could afford that watch I probably wouldn't have to worry about working....
