Well it was an event sponsored in part by ALS so lots of heavy hitting pieces on show. I was at the Concours of Elegance a few weeks back which is another event organised by ALS and at lunch on a table of 8 were 3 Lumens and a Phantom. Mr Schmid was wearing a Zeitwerk date that day.

That Lumen is incredible. Totally unique, and avant-garde while remaining absolutely faithful to the brand.

Enjoy it in good health Sir.

Man...whew... those Lumen pics are inciting my jealousy. Concorso would be such a fun event to attend. Wow, im glad you are able to showcase your Lumen in one of the most appropriate settings!!!

Hey guys, I’m considering this datograph perpetual in a trade. It’s a thing of beauty. Wondering if there’s anything I need to consider or look out for. What’s the general consensus on this piece among the ALS fans here?

Thanks. I agree that the sub-dials might be a bit difficult to read- especially as my eyes begin to age! But I’m happy to have to stare at this dial to figure out what the sub dials say :) Also, the perp calendar is more about the machine than it is about relaying data - at least for me

If the case dimensions work with your wrist,
I’d say it’s great. The dial is attractive and the movement is a work of art. Too big for me, fortunately...

Definitely has heft, but case dimensions work fine.

I hear you about the "fortunately"!

Both the Double Split and the Datograph Perpetual are amazing watches but they are just to big for my 6.7" wrists.

The earth rotates around the moon counterclockwise and the earth itself rotates counterclockwise.

Over the moon with this one, a true WIS watch that very elegantly flies below the radar until you turn it over...then just WOW! And she looks very good with the blue anniversary strap

Hi,
I do not know whether this thread is a right place to ask, but let me try: does anybody know how much does the proof of origin/certificate of authenticity issued by Lange & Söhne cost? I understood that it is necessary to send the watch physically to Glashutte to obtain one.
