Acoustic Zeitwerk event, re-visited
Guten abend everyone,
As you may have noticed from Xavier's post note, that my previous thread on the coverage of the Lange Zeitwerk striking time had to be locked, and i have to repost once again due to certain blunders that i did with the indiscretion of some of my photos.
As such i will be covering the event once more with this post, please feel free to browse through and notice the difference.
I sincerely apologise to Lange for my blunder, and they have been very gracious to me despite what i did.
Enjoy the evening, once more!

Me and my beau, these shall be our wrist companions for the day. A perfect chronometer for me, a brilliant white night for her.
Grand entrance to the event
Where to drink champagne that is finer than this?
The crowd
A toast to A. Lange & Sohne!
Tis the season to be jolly! With Lange, it lasts the entire lifetime.
Like i mentioned before, white night & BluNotte.
And the wonderful session given by none other than the ultra eloquent Mrs Joanna Lange!
Some inspiration where the Zeitwerk piece came from.
Live demonstration by Herr Manfred Weber
The 2 goodies
Now, it's time to eat!
Everyone settled, with tummies growling!
The name of my table. How appropriate.
The menu of the soiree.
With free flow of the best drinks in town!
Herr Giacobini giving a opening speech
In the flesh! Or rather, in the label!
In the liquid!
Finally we get hands on experience of the star of the evening.
Lange everywhere, both here.......
And even there!
The watch in White gold.
And the back.
I sure hope you all enjoyed it as much as i did, and thanks for looking!

You described the ambiance with brio. But what about the watch?
Would have preferred more horological insights, though... Best, Nicolas.
I admit i was too focussed on the happenings at the event
And not so much on the watch itself which was not very appealing to me personally. Maybe when Lange comes out with a full fledged minute repeater, i'd be so engrossed in it i'd forget to eat! Tschuss Stephen
A great event for a nice watch!
Sometimes, we are all just working and slaving away, unaware that hours have passed on by. We are only subtly reminded by the chiming of a grand sonnerie or another type of active striking watch. The sound on the Striking Zeitwerk is enjoyably succinct. I...
Just like you
I hope to hear once again the sounds of bells ringing in from Glashutte! Thanks for the repost! Tschuss Stephen
I have a blast of a time!
Even more so for i attended the event with someone really special! Tschuss Stephen
Thanks Stephen ...
for sharing your first-hand impressions/pictures. It is a good looking "toy" ... ... even when it is "slightly" too big for my wrist. Oliver...
A tad too big because...
the smaller brother is a touch too ..perfect......can t take away that pic of the phantom on your wrist from my mind. Mo
Hey, that suited you nonetheless!
Thanks for sharing these shots taken at headquarters! Tschuss Stephen
Thanks a lot Stephen for your report !
I take the opportunity of the new thread to paste the reply I made to Moritz in the previous one: I think my answer was too short. Again, and I already wrote it several time, I was happy to see this Zeitwerk Acoustic because it is the first Lange striking...
Thanks for reposting this Xavier!
And my thoughts are with you exactly on this piece! Let's hope for something much more true to what will totally blow us away! Tschuss Stephen
Not a fan of this watch
Too big, too thick, underwhelming complication. I'd prefer Lange to stick to 40mm max, no thicker than 13mm.
I understand about the complication
But i find the size very appealing though! Thanks for your opinion! Tschuss Stephen
Stephen, how would you rate the chime?
?/10 It is thick and big. Is it for the acoustic effect? Your blue shoes are nice. Regards Ling
The fact that this was NOT the prototype
And the actual product, i personally rate it 4/10. Quite disappointing. Like i said I know that Lange is capable of doing something way more than this, in terms of function, volume, and plus we cannot hide the fact that we really were expecting more made ...
