Btw the movement is exposed because its a tourbillion (I know some Ts are hidden, but its pretty standard to show it off).

Unfortunately I find the interlocking sub-dials, exposed movement and single hands make the overall look a complete mess. Can't fault the finishing or the movement but it just doesn't do it for me.
^ Kari's doing his own movements now? Nice.

My point is that the overall execution, or the combination of design choices, makes this a very messy dial. One can have an exposed dial to draw attention to the tourbillon but in most cases, that is the central feature and the overall design draws your attention to it. Unfortunately, the approach Lange has taken here recalls the disasters that Zenith produced under Thierry Nastaf.
So much hate, but I remain in love.
^ Interesting. Agree with you on the Panny's and the Sax ultra-thin, but I like the JLC Navy Seals and dislike the Gruebel Forsey. Dislike the whole GF collection really. Same w/ Urwerk. Haven't focused on Cartier, but will check it out.
I agree on the PAM line-up. I almost regained hope in the brand. First good year IMO since they introduced the 1st in-house movement and started heading down the toilet. Not a fan of ceramic Radiomirs but everything else is pretty impressive in a retro kind of way.

I still prefer the Lange though. Move aside Konrad der Grosse - this could be my new grail
