A. Lange & Söhne Richard Perpetual Calendar “Terra Luna”
First & foremost, wishing everyone in this forum, who celebrate the Lunar New Year, A Happy & Prosperous Year Of The Horse!
And the FIRST watch that caught my eye, and most probably will vie against my top listed Lange 31 would be this new watch, the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Perpetual Calendar “Terra Luna”.
The following extracted from a watch forum best describe this latest masterpiece from A Lange & Sohne:
In the buzz around the halls of the Palexpo where the SIHH is held, there are many who found the 1815 Tourbillon to be a candidate for Most Interesting. The watch is approachable in the simple 3 hand design. It also features the world premier of a zero reset of the seconds hand mounted on the axe of the stop second tourbillon, so that alone is grounds to be a candidate for the most impressive list. But I found the Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar “Terra Luna” to be more interesting.
The Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar “Terra Luna” houses a totally new movement with perpetual calendar, the L096.1 is a 14 day power reserve and remontoir escapement, with a unique and beautiful way to present the progress of the moon across the firmament.
As is typical of the Lange brand DNA, the movement is beautifully laid out, and nicely finished. The watch is very teutonic in feel, being rather large at 45.5mm diameter and 16.5mm thick.
The time display on the main dial is regulator style, with the perpetual calendar indications in window cutouts. The trademark outsized date takes center stage. An arc cutout reveals the power reserve indication in days.
The moonphase display is also totally interesting. The setting is a large disc with an artistic representation of the sky with gold stars set on a stunning blue disc, revolving around the earth. And the moon, also revolving around the earth shows the phases of the moon in its orbit.
It is indeed a very beautiful creation. Here are some pictures to share. Salivating? Oh yes, indeed I am!SME Synergy

Re: A. Lange & Söhne Richard Perpetual Calendar “Terra Luna”
Is that the same watch? ...The top cover is removable and it reveals the "terra luna"? ...Or it's the underside?
