Timezone 2009 Watch of the Year

Jump Hour AND Minutes...pretty sweet!

Very nice! It would never be practical for a dirt bag such as myself, but definately a winner!

looks like my bathroom scale.maybe a Gshock should be the watch of the year.Why vote for something that only twenty guys in the world will buy?
Sorry, bad night, up early, no coffee and the demerol hasn't kicked in yet.

Nothing wrong with having an opinion dude!

That is one of the jumpers I like. Very much.

I have to be 100% honest and say that I do not like that watch at all. I appreciate it, but it is not my style or something I would ever purchase, even if I had the money.

Expected, sadly expected. If it didn't cost a mint it wouldn't even have been on their radar - sad.

most likely a super watch but to be honest i wouldnt trade my breitling superocean for it unless i had a buyer lined up! The watch does nothing for me!

A Lange & Sohne, Glashutte Original, both adhere to the Glashutte watchmaking rules for German made.I just wish they would make something simple out of steel that we all could afford.All of us can save up and buy a Omega or a tag.Even get a Rolex.But companies like this make watch watches.They should all produce something thats within our reach.

what does the watch shown cost Sean? I have no idea?

. . . cost not considered, I like it.

Must be quite a movement to make it run as well. . . .

They do make it in White Gold!

It's only $49,500 for it in steel or $75,900 for platinum (from discounters).

Handwound movement with jumping numerical displays for the hours and
minutes, a power reserve indicator, and small seconds; a constant force
escapement ensures precise switching of both jumping displays. The
Zeitwerk watch features a convex sapphire crystal over the dial, and a
sapphire crystal exhibition caseback to allow viewing of the
hand-finished Lange movement.

What is the point of the screw and electric eye? This thing have a remote?

I owned a jump hour and just didnt like it.

There is a brand out there that just has one hand that tells the minutes by its position between hour markers. I find that more interesting.

It`s a very nice watch, but watch of the year? Nah, not for this guy at least.

It's got to be hard trying to pick out a watch of the year !
There are just SO many models each year to choose from
and many of the ones people choose seem to be very expensive.
This watch is AMAZINGLY classy ! The jump hours theme is
something you don't see every day. Plus the way that plate on
the dial shows it off, is a NICE touch ! Definitely a pretty cool
looking watch !..What would be great is if they had a bunch of
categories for Watch of the Year ! For example to go along
with these high-end watches if they had less expensive watches
too. Like watches under $500, $1000, $2000 etc ! Maybe
different magazines and websites could have a variety of awards
for these sections. From sport to dive watches, and from quartz
to automatic and digital watches !..It would be good, because
you might actually see a watch of yours win, or at least see a
company that you like, win too ! Could even have the readers
vote for the different choices in each category !

That's TimeZone for ya!

Wll, I have to say that is one that does absolutely nothing for me! I'm not a big fan of jumpers anyway. I'm sure there is an extremely small percent of people that could even afford it too. I'll take something else please.

After reading the WatchTime article about this watch, and the work L&S did to manufacture it, congratulations.

I rather like it!

Give it to me in white gold or SS...awesome!!!

I like it. It looks like a very nice dress watch. However; I wish
they would judge watches from varying levels of cost or type.

+1 - I don't think you can really appreciate the Zeitwerk unless you read what went into the movement development. It's bad ass. But I voted for that insane Concord. That thing is wild.
