A. Lange & Söhne

The new Lange 1 moonphase is a very clever solution to combine a day nite indicator with a moonphase.. Such a design will be very useful for perpetual calendars.. Also, the moon rotates over a evolving skyline, which is rather appealing and novel for a mo...  

as competition get stiffer. I like the new black dial version. Rgds Raymond

They don't show a full moon in the videos, but wouldn't the seconds hand be sitting above this anyway? However, bravo again A Lange & Sohne, this is actually a very cool way to display the moonphase. Only WIS's will care about a moving day/night disc as w... 

But I found one pic which illustrates what I mean (look at the bottom of the moon).. the moon is attached to the pivot via a ledge.. At full moon, it may be more obvious.. In any case it's a clever and elegant solution.. ...  

It could also be showing just because it is macro at an angle that we might never see without a loupe.... lets await a full moon to see!!

And I agree with Imran: You will not see the stud...

A sapphire disc would shatter easily when you drop the watch and therefore I welcome the pivot solution. Lange is known to make good and also solid watches. Thank you for the post. Best Moritz

It's a clever and novel moonphase.. Hope to see it implemented in a perpetual cal too

A Zenith reference book says Zenith first used a multi-disc day/night moonphase indicator in February 2008, with the launch of the El Primero 4034 reference. Lange's implementation of this concept may be a bit nicer. Zenith actually did use a sapphire dis... 

They are ages ahead of others. Wonder if their innovations are patented?

mounting the moon on a sapphire disc will certainly increase the thickness of the movement so Langes approach definitely helped in keeping the case thickness to 10mms.. More brands should do this..

I\'m impressed with Zenith there!

I don\'t find this day-night plus moon phase particularly clever or elegant. For one thing, it gives 12 hour "days" which is almost always wrong. And I think that most future owners of this watch will miss seeing the starry sky disk on their wrists. Near ... 

I'm interested to see this in person because I wonder if I'd miss seeing the stars in the background all the time. I suspect I might. For me, those background stars are the main aesthetic appeal of the Lange 1 moonphase complication. I think I'd prefer to... 

Sorry I missed your post on the other forum, Craig, I\'ve been remiss on the forums generally. Knowing your serious interest in moonphases, your comments carry a lot of weight! -pay
