Horological Meandering

If essentially had the power to design your dream watch from your favorite brand, what would it be? Would you design an entirely new case shape? Would you redesign something in it's current line up? What complication would it feature? What metal would it feature? It is important to know that this watch shouldn't exist, you're essentially playing watch designer here and asked to brainstorm up an entirely new piece, your dream piece!

 Below is my answer, which can also sorta serve as an example:

If I were to design my dream watch, it would definitely be from A. Lange & Sohne. It would be (the first) of the repeater family of complication, I'm thinking minute repeater (but grand/petite sonnerie would probably follow later on).  It would be based around the case of the Richard Lange PLM, and will feature the signature blue hands on a white dial, and it will be made in Platinum. Also, it would feature a 60 hour power reserve (wishful thinking!) and a manual wind calibre. I wouldn't ask for any sort of calendar complication as I feel that the sober nature of the RL PLM is so exquisite as it is, that any sort of sub dial BESIDES the existing one for the seconds would spoil the watch.

Anyways, if you have more then one please share, I obviously do, but I'm just using the one above as an example!

Enjoy! 

PS. I do apologize if this has been done before, I just thought it would be a fun little game to get the creative juices going. 

Best,

Enrique
