In 'Deployant' Peter Chong noted that Jens Schneider is taking over L&H and wants to use the type of rounded bridges Marco developed in the Georg in the rounded models. It's pure speculation as to what Marco Lang will be doing, but he's been working w...  

There's a certain style, Redcorals, that's far closer than apparent at first blush. In your mind's eye, rotate the UWD so that the crown at the same angle as the Caliber VIII. Not identical, but artwork by the same artists. (BTW, I mislabeled it as VII in...  

but style and execution is very very different. Thanks for pointing it out though.

It is A. Lange & Sohne of Glashutte.

Willie was suggesting if Marco were to work his father, Rolf Lang, then the company could be called Lang & Sohne but this one being based in Dresden. That’s where the irony/confusion would come into play. Notice the “e” missing of this Lang surname? ... 

Sad at least for me to see these type of indi guys like Peter Speake-Marin leaving their original companies. Now both L and H have left Lang and Heyne.

I talked with a rep from Rolf Lang Dresden and the notice by Saso (re: north data) was about the "liquidation" of a business relationship with some Russian company; not the company.

Company relationships are not part of the "Handelsregister" except it is a subsidiary company, which is unlikely as the "Rolf Lang Dresden GmbH" is clearly named. Also the "Elektronischer Bundesanzeiger" clearly states regarding the Rolf Lang Dresden GmbH... 

I contacted Lang, and his rep. told me that they did indeed liquidate one of his businesses. He still has one left; so Saso, you were right; one business was liquidated. I didn't know he had two, but he's certainly in business still... wonder what will be... 

That may amuse Christian Klings. Cheers, pplater.

PPlater, for pointing out who previously has done the original work.

Is all well in your universe? Credit where credit is due, don’t you think? None more so than in respect of your own work, which is exquisite by any measure. Cheers, pplater.

I am currently working on Azur, a new pocket watch with 2 barrels, crown winding and setting, it will have a silver engine turned dial with a Tantalum case and display back and it will have my unique shaped wheel cocks that others have copied and yes ther...
