Guten abend my fellow Lange PuristS!
I trust you all are having a perfect evening this Monday!
I have just returned from the Zeitwerk event, and it was indeed a superb evening!
I had heaps of fun, and will share with you all the photos that I have taken throughout the day!
Without further ado, here we go!
My Lange for the day, naturlich die Richard Lange in Platin.
At lunchtime, I had a great paella !
Countdown to the event!
Me at the entrance to the restaurant.
They even put up a Lange banner on the street sign!
Ahh, the 1st pieces on display.
Unfortunately in white gold, thus not for me...
The new 31s...
Look at that price, "cheap" ay?
My beauties...
Come to me, my precious one...
An apparently rare and new piece that came just for the show, the Grand Lange 1 in white gold with black MOP dial.
A Platinum ingot for the wrist...
Platin, Platine, Platino!
Die Richard Lange "Pour le Merite", no introductions needed.
The entire RL family...
Mechanical poetry.
Ahh, here is my mom's watch for this year!
Herr Kesselmann, the Lange brand CEO for Japan introducing the staff von Lange GmbH.
Ohhh, this is MINE_!
The platinum version is a blank without the movement, but they adjusted the blank so that it weighs almost similar as the actual product.
Table shot of the 1st session we attended, about the design.
The Grand father of the Zeitwerk, manufactured in 1885.
Numerous prototype designs for the Zeitwerk.
WHat do we have here? A drawing right in front of my eyes, but for who?
Oh? It's for me! ( Apparently the designer gives it to whomever sits closest to him,and i was the lucky one!
Now on to session about the 3 springs utilised in the Zeitwerk.
This is the hairspring!
Mathematical formula for the manufacture of the hairspring
The mainspring for the 31.
Weights that allows you to feel the torque of the various springs, this one is for the remontoir of the Zeitwerk.
For the hairspring.
Dinner time!
With Ms. Ishida from Lange Japan.
Mit Herr Grossmann!
1st dish. ( I captured photos of everything, except the meat main, because i was so caught up in conversations that I totally forgot to take a photo of the meat dish! Enschuldigung!)
The Zeitwerk dessert!
All of us didn't start eating until it was actually 7:52pm here!
I put on the PLM for this shot!
Italian limited edition, blued steel hands for everything!
Special lizard belt!
Rare LE of 10 of the double split!
Well, hope you all enjoyed the shots! I have received a few more goodies, which I will try to post in the days to come.
Cheers and have a great night!
Tschuss!
