Once you go Lange it is hard to turn back... Real congrats, Ken.

May I suggest the ALS 1 Time Zone - the Buenos Aires edition next? :-)

I don't believe a word of it, Ken.

You are out of control, gloriously so.

Just fantastic.

Absolutely incredible!

I viewed the video of it's action (function) and I adore it.

Crisp, and yet smooth.

You guys remember that time when Ken made a bet with his wife about not buying more watches? That was funny.

Congrats Ken, another beauty!

Ken, congrats on an AMAZING piece. That movement is one of my favorites. It shares the same base movement as the Lange 31 day PR movement, but this one is more advanced that it can be wound from the crown and not a special key. All those flipping numbers needs a ton of power. Major congrats. What a watch!!!!!!!
