A. Lange & Söhne

The moonphase display is one of the Lange & Söhne favorite complications. Perhaps because it gives the opportunity to bring a poetic touch to the Germanic discipline and precision which are found in the watches from the Manufacture in Glashütte. This ...  

I like the white gold, it feels more understated than what the actual watch is. I agree with regards to the small numbers on the moon phase dial but I have to say I didn't think about them until you mentioned it.

Overall, I think it's an excellent addition to the Saxonia family. It gives a little extra pizazz without losing the "Teutonic" aesthetic of the brand. The WG in particular is very appealing.

That this would be much better looking if it had the same length stick and minute markers as the AC. Imo, the markers are just too long and they intrude the dial much more than need to be… It makes the dial busier and takes the focus away from the 2 eleme... 

I love the dial layout of this new Saxonia moon phase a lot. Very nicely balanced and handsome I wish for 3 things to make this watch even nicer imho 1. A smaller size of 38.5 or 39mm max 2. A solid gold rotor - I think like the new auto Saxonias the roto... 

Its a home run in either metal. I actually like the rose gold a little better. The watch stands on its own but would also be a great complement to a Lange one. Tony

But not for the reason that is bothering Nicolas ... I guess you will know what my criticism is? Anyway, this precious looking (a small hint to the above issue) rotor aside it look like a very appealing watch with character. The moon phase gives this "goo... 

My issue with Lange rotors is that on their simpler automatic pieces, they do not decorate with screwed gold chatons They look a little flimsy given their thin stems but I dont know. At the very least, the rotor being gold is lined with platinum parameter... 

I give you some more chances to find out what is really an issue with this movement. Take my used words regarding the rotor literally " ... this precious looking rotor ...". I know, I am being cruel ... Best Moritz

Since the entire rotor is gold and Pt, for a simple watch movement it significantly boosts the price versus the standard 3/4 plate manual wind? Or, the connection of the gold rotor to the central steel hub may be poor? Regards, skyeriding

... I just gave him also a riddle to breed about another Lange, maybe he knows the answer to your riddle? But I am not totally cruel and give you another hint: it will lead to the same realisation that you had with the chrono scaling! NOW you should know ... 

Its a gold plated rotor, not solid (?!) That's news to me. Just for the sake of aesthetics I presume... I rather have a steel rotor with a Pt/Au peripheral mass with gold chatons Further to add, the font kerning between "S" and the "öhne" on the rotor alw... 

Means now I don't have to think about the Lange automatics too much anymore! I feel their manuals are much more iconic too afterall While we are on this topic, I'm not sure about current models but are their WG pieces Rh plated or raw WG with more palladi... 

It is the only movement with this condition. All the others generally and the Daymatic's lovely, lovely autos are top! The WG is not plated as far as I know, whether all WG models I am not sure though. Best Moritz

The others like the Daymatic, Langematik etc. has those really nice chunky gold rotors with the tremblage finish. Those are really impressive! I guess within this range, I would personally opt for the Lange 1 instead of the Sax Moonphase... Regards, skyer... 

Have you noticed that the balance wheel is next to the crown? Great!

...and despite most people aesthetically preferring the older movement with the extra bridges, the new movement is much more technically refined with the revised geartrain that conveniently avoids redundant wheels needed in the first-gen L1. Then they hav... 

I asked the manufacture and they confirmed that. You can actually notice it, the WG is ever so slightly dull (Champaign colour).

I vaguely remember it, but it involves a gear on the mainspring with a missing tooth on it allowing a lever to fall in when unwound. I can't remember how the seconds hand is coupled. If I manage to find it I'll link it here. Regards, skyeriding

Refer Here: Explanation by Edwin: forums.timezone.com I think the mechanism is similar to other Lange's, not just the PLM. Seems like quite abit of friction though! Regards, skyeriding ...  

Thank you skyrider! And yes: one tooth is missing. Cooooool! Best Moritz

This one or the Lange 1 moon.
