if you already have a Lange in your collection, than go for the JLC. Both have different functionalities and purpose. As for me, this black dial L1 is lovely !

AL&S vs. JLC moonphases

 
 By: Chromatic Fugue : February 15th, 2017-18:59
I'm considering two similar yet very different watches. I've placed an order for the new Lange 1 moonphase in WG with black dial, announced at SIHH 2017. But last weekend I spent time with a friend's JLC Duometre Quantieme Lunaire in RG, which I had never... 

and the photos

No question for me - the Lange!

I love Lange and JLC but the Lange is (a) better sized on the wrist while the Duometre is a tad big (b) the new moonphase day-night is just so cool

ALS.

Cheers, John.

They are both wonderful watches.

If I had to chose one though it would be the Lange. Best, Martin

If the moon phase is the most important for you, go for the Lange. If not...

Go for the JLC. Explanation: The moon phase is accurate to only one day each 2, 5 years while it is at least 122 years for the Lange One MP. Now, if it is not important for you, then the JLC Duometre à QL. It is a vey special watch due to its construction...

Looks like there is some kind of consensus and... I'm going to participate to it...

Hard choice - a toss-up for me.

It depends what else you have in your collection would be my answer (as useless an answer as that may be!). The L1 is an update to a super classic, but the movement and ethos of the Duometre is more interesting in my opinion. Visually, do you (and your co... 

Thank you all...

I am surprised at the degree of consensus on such a clearly subjective judgment. But maybe not that surprised: AL&S is hard to surpass in its austere beauty. In response to some questions: I don\'t have a Lange currently, and I don\'t need more RG in the ...
