Three years ago, I was told that Zeitwerk was to become the family of complications. The next year we saw a minute repeating Zeitwerk and I started to understand. Just yesterday, Jack told you about the new Zeitwerk Decimal Strike which is somewhere between a minute repeater (which is a decimal repeater capable of chiming the minute) and the original and existing striking time, which chimes only on the hours and quarters. To many, it feels like a “whatever” product because it is neither here (a traditional complication like a perpetual or chrono) nor there (a true high end comp like a minute repeater), but rather right in the middle. It is a middle high complication, if that makes any sense. It might not seem like there is a big market for something like this, but in thinking about it for the last 24 hours, I think Lange might be onto something here. I’ll explain as I walk you through some live photos of this chiming watch.
