My hearing is lousy, and both metals do chime softly. The PT version (which I own) sounded softer than the gold version (which I don't own) when I compared them many years ago, soon after they were introduced. That said, the Striking Time embodies an imme
Certainly not like Patek, Rolex, or Journe. That said, I’ve had the opportunity to handle the Striking Time on two different occasions in the past few months. It seems pretty wearable to me (7 1/4 - 7 1/2 inch wrist), and the instantaneously jumping hours

Tourbillions in Lange, even at today’s somewhat depressed prices, were never interesting. Unless it was the original PLM. But the trio of Dato, ZW and PLM. That’s a line up to compare to anything anyone else can offer. And each one, even the ZW, as you sa
It’s kinda how I’ve been with the Zeitwerk. Although the new ZW’s case is a definite improvement in terms it being less chunky and potentially more wearable for me. Even this PLM is boarder line for me on lug to lug size. It’s not quite right and starting
