A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous (Ref. 140.035)Originally revealed a year ago, the gorgeous A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk manual-wind wrist watch started the digital revolution in the world of mainstream mechanical time keepers. Now, the new A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous takes the idea even further.In fact, there are two main selling points for the A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk Luminous. The one that gets noticed from the first glance is its semi-skeletonized dial, which is covered with a semi-opaque crystal highlighting the digital hour and minutes display with its already famous “Time Bridge” element, which is this time made of PVD-coated German silver.The second selling point is hinted in the watch’s name but remains hidden until after dark. You see, the watch’s jumping hour and minute Arabic numerals are covered with a luminescent substance that glows for several hours after the night comes. Must be pretty fascinating, that.The watch is powered by the same Caliber L043.1 manual-wind movement, which is housed in the same massive-looking round case 41.9 mm in diameter and only 12.6 mm high.Unfortunately, while the original Zeitwerk was available in rose, yellow and white gold, as well as platinum, the Zeitwerk Luminous comes only in an expensive platinum body, which makes it a really expensive piece of work. A. Lange & Sohne still stays mum about the model’s recommended price, but let me remind you that the original “Leap of time” model in platinum was priced at impressive €59,000, and this one is limited at only 100 pieces!
