When I first saw this watch, I think it is so special that I would like to write about it. It’s called Zeitwerk Luminous from A. Lange & Sohne.
I really appreciate the watch designer who figure out such a creative disply of time for the Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous. As we know that the watch dial is just about 15-20 cm2, there is only little room for the watch designers to impress the watch collectors. Besides, there are so many watches unveiled to the market each year, it’s really hard to figure out something totally different.
But the watch designers at A. Lange & Sohne made it. The Zeitwerk Luminous presents time in an interesting new way. It’s a mechnical watch, but what it shows to us is like a digital watch. The hour and minute is shown in the two windows at 9 o’clock and 3 o’clock repectively in digit format. As the numbers is on a rotating plate, so there is no need to have watch hands to indicate hour and minute. This interesting design leave you only the essential infomration. You won’t see other numbers as they are only shown when it’s time for them to show up. But I guess it may take you some time to get used to such “handless” watch as it shows the time too straight.
Maybe to make you feel at ease, the watch designers introduce two watch hands as compensation. These two watch hands indicate the power reserve and seconds. They are located at 12 o’clock and 6 o’clock respectively, which match the two digit window harmoniously.
The watch will make its debut at this year’s SIHH. I anticipate to see it personally.
