A. Lange & Söhne

Which one do you prefer? I have a clear winner ( pun intended, here ): The Lange One Moon Phase, because I think that the luminous moon is spot on. Now, there was a fourth one which should have been mentioned, the Datograph. Because its lumen dial saves t...  

My favorite is the Zeitwerk because the lumen concept was conceived for the Zeitwerk to charge the lume and be able to read the time in the dark. But agree with you on that spectacular moon phase!
