I'm a Lange fan and have been pursuing the Datograph Perpetual as a sort of grail for a while now, but lately I'm becoming enamored of the Striking Time. I like the "digital" display and the watch is obviously very unique. Of course, I love the hammers on the dial. And at a shade over 44mm, it's a nice size (especially for a Lange). Anyone have any experience with this one? Opinions and thoughts are welcome.  Videos of the hammers chiming are available on YouTube. |

The only experience I have with this watch is drooling all over the computer screen every time I see it. I love it also. I'd even settle for the for the "standard" one without the hammers. |

What can you say - it is amazing, but at 90K gold and 110k platinum, it better clean my house, make my dinner, and "other" household duties. |

The books are just taking up too much room. Bad market right now, but I think they'd get me most of the way there. |

That must be a hell of a book collection. |

A friend has the Zeitwerk Luminous (next to my 294). The pt feels very heavy on the wrist & extremely drool-worthy...
