A. Lange & Soehne Richard Lange Tourbillion "Pour le Merite" Handwerkunst
Quite a mouthful!
Beyond the Superlative: RICHARD LANGE TOURBILLON “Pour le Mérite” HANDWERKSKUNST
The fourth “Pour le Mérite” timepiece presented by A. Lange & Söhne in a limited 15-watch edition is a manifestation of artisanal virtuosity at the highest level. The case in honey-coloured gold accommodates two complications – a fusée-and-chain transmiss...
As my lord said just above, a beauty.
I wonder what it looks like in the flesh but it seems clearly sumptuous ! Thanks Kong ! Best, Mark
It will definitely be a visual impact.
Not my cup of tea, but one has to give credit to all the extra work going into the dial. Which other manufacturer uses similar techniques for dial works? Best, Horo
The satin frost finishing but with 3D effect is what I like
Is there a Breguet with similar dial? I can't recall off the top of my head. Best, Horo
the frosted finishing is quite different
as usual, Lange is alot more "dramatic"...not sure if you agree? best, Horo
Agreed, Horo. A different expression for the Lange.
I wonder if I don't prefer the Breguet finish, here... Best, Nicolas.
As Lange is saying: State of the art tradition ...
Movement finish elements have been used also in the past for dial decoration: like the sunburst finish. It has become trendy to put geneva stripes on the dial and even screws. A clever and consequent move from Lange therefore to put the finish of theire n...
That's true...I did a double take when I first saw the name
It almost sounded vulgar...I see hand and wurst , and it's oktoberfest Best, Horo
Perfect demonstration of the prowess of Lange
Indeed Lange is to be commended time after time. Now, where is that Platinum dialed, platinum movement, platinum cased Lange? Tschuss Stephen
This one blew me away!
The unveiling! Wow! An amazing dial. A real transformation. Demonstration of how the dial is made On the screen Only 15 pieces that will be available as early as next month! Cheers fernando...
phhwooarrrr! What a dial ...
Was just wonderin, trying to imagine how delicate the carpet of light must look like on this dial and there a fellow Purist delivers a picture! I noticed and liked this kind of finish on the rotor of the new auto movements like the Daymatic has got. A gen...
Thank you Fernando
for this live picture because I don't remember seeing Press photo that do so little justice to watch Best Damjan
Not for me, sorry.
Even if of course, I'm still impressed by the technical features of the watch, by the finishings, I find it too "overloaded" due to the mix between the dial decorations and the dial layout. Not for my taste... I stay with the "classic" Richard Lange Tourb...
So we are two partybreakers, Fx. I'm not impressed at all
On an aesthetical point of view. Like you, I much prefer the RL PLM. But I didn' like the original, I have to say. Best, Nicolas.
I understand what both of you are feeling but
I would say this watch is not to be compared with the regular Lange's production. This is more of are rare challenge, stytlistic composition : it is a mix between the Langes we usually see and fine jewlery crafting. I would not wear it (I guess that in th...
I understand your point of view Mark...
But let's take this one, the famous 1A: You can't find more full gold watch than this one and there is a lot of engraving work on the dial. But... the watch managed to keep its initial coherence and despite its very flamboyant side, it remains elegant. i ...
Surely: not a simple watch but ...
This latest RL T PLM has got an added design feature that is utterly coherent with the watch! A RL T PLM can not look more "baroque", more period and timeless at the same time like this edition. The regular RL T PLM in RG is already a stunner by looks and...
Makes this watch many times more appealing to me
I quite disliked the original -- seemed to be acres of nothingness on the dial. This new version is just right, and actually makes me like the watch a lot! Best, Gary
