Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.
Owners praise the A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 as an art piece, highlighting its beautiful guilloché dial and stunning moonphase complication. One owner found the 36.8mm case size to feel small on a 6.75" wrist. The retail price is $54,700, with some noting it is comparable to the regular Lange 1 despite a simpler movement. Overall, owners and reviewers consider the A. Lange & Söhne Little Lange 1 a highly regarded piece for its artistic dial and moonphase complication.
The German craftsmanship of the movement is a notable strength. No consensus on weaknesses. Reviewers did not explicitly disagree on any points.
The Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds is praised for its handcrafted dial and movement, featuring an in-house Calibre DB-G06 manual-wind movement with a deadbeat seconds complication. Reviewers note the movement is regulated to within +3 seconds per day. The 42mm stainless steel case is 10mm thick and offers 100m water resistance. A significant drawback is the long lead time, with one source stating at least a year and another specifying 16 months, and the watch is limited to 10 produced annually. On balance, reviewers highlight the bespoke nature and in-house craftsmanship as key strengths of the Garrick S2 Deadbeat Seconds, despite the considerable wait time.
