Glad to see Marco Lange moving forward again.

I have one of his watches and I must say that it's a shame his name isn't as prominent as some of the others, because he has an absolutely wonderful eye and his craftsmanship is of the highest order. His watches are beautifully executed from both a design and construction standpoint, and extremely classical in a "pure" way that Lange & Sohne and Journe were before they started doing all the variations they have now (which, and I know not everyone agrees with my point of view on this, have diluted their brands).

His movements also are uniquely beautiful as the second picture shows and the picture below of the back of my King Johann also illustrates. There are many fine things about his watches, but the finish of the movement is what pushed me over the collecting edge.

Has anyone actually handled this watch? Are the pushers flawless

in their fuction, or is it a little finicky in their function. Thank You, Jay

Whatever you mean with "flawless", Jay..... :-)

....I'm not sure - however, I'm sure it's one pusher only to start with. And yes I handled it (how should I do pictures otherwise ) - describing pusher action is a bit difficult though - as the personal preferences differ quite a bit. Some are fascinated ... 

Beautiful
