Battle of the perpetuals
Good day everyone,
I am a fan of perpetuals, there is just that special something in a watch that tells the time and the date simultaneously that fascinates me. There are two that stands out for me, the lange and sohne langematik perpetual and the VC malte perpetual calendar retrograde, though i do not own any of them (how i wish i could...lol...) i would like to know the opinion of others; which of the two perpetuals would they take if they have a chance to pick one. Both are on the same price range and almost the same sizes. Everyones opinion is welcome.
Thank you. : )

Langematik perpetual for me too
A superb clean dial, with a nice legibility, and an awesome movement, in a reasonably sized case. A winner, to me! Aaah, I perfectly understand your passion about perpetuals, and you will notice that you're not alone, here! Best, and ...Keep us updated, p...
Both are very nice in design but do take a look at them
in the metal. If you have issues with short sightedness, both, lovely as they are, may not be too practical which some may place as a secondary consideration given the beauty of both pieces.
I have to agree with wmclaren
Although its a very beautifully made watch. some of the dials - especially the leap year are not always easy to read. This message has been edited by Topcat30093 on 2009-05-24 02:07:48
