Just went through a period of considering parting with mine, wanted to trade it in for the white gold perpetual. I really could use a date function at work! Tried, but could not get myself to part with the Homage! The sum is more than the parts (from a dial side perspective). The 1815 black arabic numerals and slender long blue hands, the elegant center dial second hand with its discreet jumps, the smaller second hand smoothly sweeping along, the champagne dial. But, I can't get enough of the movement. The datomatik and some others are busier, but this movement of the Homage is so beautiful and interesting. Finally, after reading Walter Lange's brief autobiography "Revival of Time", having an homage to him in really inspiring. His life was one of hardship and survival that blossomed into something really special, for both him and his home of Glashutte.
Keeping this watch for life. Just picked up a nice little Lange 1 Luminous to have a date, and share duties with the Homage (and a Czapek Ant for weekends and sport). Have a good weekend all!
