So, I’m going to assume that it’s platinum as you said in the beginning and not titanium as you say later in the video..? Otherwise great video! Definitely a grail worthy watch.

Damn, I have titanium watch and was hoping the metal worth was $800 per oz. As light as titanium is, I might get a thousand bucks, and I'd be OK with that.

Good catch A B L, I was astonished for a second, as I'd never seen anyone get titanium to polish up that nicely. But I think when he commented on the weight it was telling also. Platinum is very heavy, but titanium is very light.

@ToldYouSo I'm not sure about Platinum, but Titanium is stronger than steel (tensile strength) if equal quantities (mass) are compared, which is why its relative lightness compared to steel is a talking point. By your statement, its lightness alone is the defining feature in its strength to weight ratio, which would be absurd, as many materials are lighter than steel but also not as strong as steel.

That clasp alone costs more than the combined prices of every watch I’ve ever purchased. That is just insane. But you better believe that I would own one of these if I could afford one. Lange is one of my absolute favorite watchmakers. Nearly everything they make is a grail for me.

Came across your video of this generation of Lange 1 moonphase in platinum - the others are the newer generation, with a different back and 383 stars or something. Very interesting coverage, and I can’t imagine why anyone would part with that watch.

Doppelfederhaus = twin mainspring barrel. I had the good fortune of seeing my first Lange 1 "in the metal" back in 1996, when a Swiss friend of mine, having just sold his company, treated himself to one as a special reward. A stunning piece, now as then. But even speaking German, I had no idea what a Doppelfederhaus was. Even if you had told me it was a twin mainspring barrel, knowing the English word wouldn't have helped, as I had no clue how mechanical watches operated. Having done a little research in the interim, I've learned that the Doppelfederhaus is what makes that 72 hour power reserve possible. One mainspring barrel equals 36 hours, plus or minus. Daisy chain them, and the power reserve increases. Lange uses two in this model; other brands use even more to extend the power reserve up to and even beyond a week. Lange even makes one model, the Monats-Werk, that has a 30 day power reserve and needs to be wound with a special key. Also, with the understanding that the word doesn't exactly roll off the tip of the tongue, "enteignen" = eks-PROH-pree--eight, as another viewer pointed out as well. Not fun to say, but even less fun to have happen to you. Excellent video, as usual. Hopefully this beautiful piece will find a good home. Gruß aus sonnigem Florida!

This is very nice, but I prefer the current production model, with the very quirky day / night indication through a second, transparent disc passing daily over the moonphase, making it appear light blue in the morning and midnight blue in the evening / night. This would be my grail watch, but in rose gold.

Absolutely adore it! I might've to get in touch with the Master Watchmaker you recommended for my next service, as I travel to Europe regularly... Also the independent Watchmaker I am using at the moment is overwhelmed with work and is not confident enough to service these types of pieces. He always tells me that he doesn't like "projects" that he cannot buy his way out of, and he starts sweating when he sees a chronograph LOL
