After a great deal of thought I finally came to the conclusion that I Needed another Lange. Then I had to decide which one? Langematik was a choice but the more I thought about it, I really didn't want a perpetual on Lange (Dato Perpetual would be the exception but is out of my league), I rather get one of their unique designs like the Lange 1 series or Datograph where the magic of Lange lives. . And even though the Datograph is a very important piece for Lange, and I am not going into why just is such a great piece just a glance to the movement I can easily rest my case, but I needed a piece that sing to me like the Grand Lange 1 for example.
Actually the Grand Lange 1 Platinum was a contender, costs about the same as the Time Zone but I want it a complication and what a beautiful complication (TZ) . Timezone takes the distinctive layout of the Lange 1 and adds the useful complication of a secondary timezone with quick-set adjustment linked to a rotating inner bezel, and the best part "is Manual" (How many manuals with this kind of complication you can find out there?) .The inner bezel lists the major cities of the World, giving the watch the look of a Worldtimer, purists should note it is not a true worldtimer but instead a dual time watch with region indication.

The movement with the traditional German Silver 3/4 plate and two balance cocks, each balance cock is engraved by hand by a single technician. No two balances are the same, and each engraver has a distinctive style. Little flourishes like that is what set Lange apart. The extra complications are visible through the caseback; an additional set of gears and a bridge is engraved just like the balance cock, which is to say spectacularly. Considering the Timezone is a significant premium over the standard model, it's the least they can do. I really love the watch, just looking at the dial, it feels almost alive, like sticking out at you, don't know how to explain it but it's as close as I can describe it. A big plus is how the inner bezel balances out the dial, is just perfect! (well to my eyes, of course I am a just a tad bias) Without any further introduction here it is

Thanks mates, I appreciate your kind words. This is the piece that the child inside of me always wanted, but I follow the textbook and got Patek first. I feel complete!

Thanks for your nice comments; I seen some amazing pieces here from you guys as well, that's makes me drool and wanting more, but I will stay calm and enjoy what I have. After all I am relatively new to this, with just 1 year and half under my belt I have a lot to learn.

Thanks again

Israguard · 29 September 2013, 08:00 AM

Question please. On the beautiful ALS posted here.. In the subdial and again on main dial are two super small hands with a blue line in the circle.. I've seen them spin around.. What purpose do they serve?

Tks
