I understand that shaving off a few mm means a drastic re-design from an engineering perspective. The engineers would say to me, "You'd need a technical redesign of the Caliber 238. You do realize there are 242 components, right?" To which I would channel my reply in the voice and gall of Roman Roy, "I don't know, just make everything smaller! And gold! Black and gold."

The lumen watches are absolutely fascinating, both intellectually and visually. The see-through dial gives us a rare glimpse of the dial-side of the movement along with all the extra bits of lume (hence the "lumen" name). Because of this, the lumen treatment works best on watches featuring complications as opposed to simple time-only watches (like Lange's 1815 model). But what if we met somewhere in the middle?
