Thanks for your comment, my friend. That's a very original watch, for sure.

Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk movement shots.
No words are needed, here: Except that the movement is my favorite part of a Zeitwerk watch. A real feast for the eyes and the brain. Best, Nicolas ...
Great shots of a beautiful movement.
I find it interesting and impressive that Lange continually updates movements but always keeps the same movement number. Your shots are of the original movement, later pieces (also upgraded on serviced pieces) had a development of the regulating system to...
Great input!
I am very interested in the ALS Zeitwerk. I prefer the simple version black dial to the Zeitwerk date even if the movement of the Zeitwerk date is much improved. So - if possible - I would like a most updated movement of the „simple version“ where for exa...
Check out this post Thomas, answer to your question.

We have the same taste!
But I would prefer the better movement of the Date version. Especially the longer power reserve. Best Thomas
I never had the opportunity
to wind it. Do you have to use a lot of force? Best Thomas
That’s really cool Nicolas.
I can’t even begin to figure out how this all works together. It is truly a feast for the eyes. Well said
A true masterpiece from ALS imho
The movement is absolute beautiful and a fest for the eyes, but so is the whole watch imho
Breathtaking movements and great photos 👍🏻
I really love to add a ZW someday. It’s such an icon family of the brand with its distinctive looks. One thing that holds me back is the 36hr PR and like wearing a hockey puck....I know the new ZW date is 72hr. This original ZW is discontinued and I think...
You have to experience the winding for yourself, Raymond, because you might actually like the feel...
Winding the (old) ZW is very different -- much crisper and stiffer -- from winding other Langes that we're used to. It definitely requires more force. Personally, I found this to be delightful because each click feels and sounds quite distinctive. I reall...
Thank you CR for the good input...you have a point too for winding ritual :)
Hopefully someday I can own a ZW and RL to complete the family.
I own both the RL PLM and Zeitwerk Raymond and can honestly say both are a pleasure to wind BUT the PLM is better IMHO...
Let me explain. The tactile sensation of both are amazing. The PLM is slightly smoother than the Zeitwerk BUT still gives the same feedback, tactile sensation, sound, and click feeling you can from the Zeitwerk. Basically it is a smoother and more refined...
I have no doubt about the winding sensation and descriptions by esteem owners like yourself and CR....
Owning both ZW and RL will be a dream come true but will take time, lol....you know what I mean Now that the original ZW is discontinued, I'm sure a new model with 72 hrs like the ZW date will emerge.
You could be correct Raymond but as CR mentioned I actually like winding the PLM and Zeitwerk daily if I wear them. This is why I prefer manual wind watches over automatics..
If you look at some of my recent posts you will see that I have a fetish for manual wind chronographs. Why manual wind over automatics? There are many reasons but to keep it brief, it is due to the fact that I like the action of winding the watch myself a...
I am glad you mentioned the winding feel of Lange's PLM watches, too. The worst part about winding a Lange with a fusee and chain mechanism...
... is how few turns it takes to fully wind it. Just when you're starting to enjoy it, after only a few turns, the fun is over because it's fully wound.
Absolute stellar movement and design this Zeitwerk...
Has it has been discontinued? Does anyone know what will replace this? Quite excited to see what AL&S have been working on. 😊
