It's a good watch...

But... It really feels like a watch that was put into the Lange line-up as a necessity rather than a good watch in its own respect.

However, this is not necessarily a bad thing. The Porsche Cayman filled a gap between the 911 and the Boxster. Today, the Porsche Cayman is a great car in its own right.

Only time will tell with the new annual calendar. But personally, I find the perpetual calendar to be a beautiful watch. The dial design, thickness, and overall aesthetics of the LangeMatik perpetual really sing to me. I'm even now finding the Patek Philippe 5140 (my favorite perpetual calendar only watch of all time) to be too thin.

If the finances allow it, I would forgo the Lange annual calendar and go straight to the Lange perpetual calendar. However, I still find that there is a large amount of charm with the Patek Philippe perpetual calendar. But my favorite Lange remains the Richard Lange Pour Le Merite. More realistically, I would consider a Lange One and the Zeitwerke.

Did you know that Patek Philippe perpetual calendars are also double assembled like all Langes.
