Agree!!
I had the 3 different sandpaper too. It takes patience and attention to detail. Makes you really appreciate the work that goes into creating these engineering and artistic masterpieces. Mine was inspected at the end and it actually turned out quite nice. The instructior said that it may not get much better due to the humidity and dust in the less than clean room conditions we were in.
Lange Watchmaking Experience
I had the opportunity to attend a watchmaking experience hosted by Lange in Bel Air. Wonderful time spent with great hosts, wonderful guests, fantastic watches and I got to try my hand at polishing a gold chaton. We had to remove a gold chaton from a unfi...
It's not easy!
I've been to the factory in Dresden a couple times and have attended a Lange Akademie in California too. And every time they have me doing something that isn't easy. I remember the first time I went to Dresden, I was polishing a metal part and putting it ...

Yes! I saw the three sandpapers on the glass block!
I also noticed the napkins said The Macallan. What kind of Scotch did they serve? Anything special?
Such experiences allows us to appreciate the work...
behind crafting these wrist objects that we love. That WG 1815 Rattrapante looks awesome! I wonder how many "extra" on top of the supposedly 100 they made.
Are you suggesting Lange cheated and made more than the limited edition number?
Generally a few extra prototypes are made but not sold. Are you suggesting that Lange sold more than 100 pieces on a piece that was officially limited to 100 pieces?
Lange can do what they like...
But for me there should not be more than the number on the denominator. Do you know what do they do with these prototypes?
Hmm, I don't think you fully answered my question, can you clarify please?
Are you suggesting that Lange has sold more than their limitation? Thus, if Lange promised the limitation of 100 pieces, do you suspect Lange sold more than 100 pieces? If you suspect this has happened, can you give us a little more details as to why you ...
I am not suggesting anything, dear Patrick.
I just saw a 000/100, that's all! And if all the numbers filled out, there will be more watches than the denominator. All good if the prototype(s) was/were to be destroyed. This particular watch in WG case/pink gold dial was released >2 years ago. And the...
The 000/100 Lange watch should not be sold.
So if you saw a Lange with 000/100 (these are usually carnet watches or press watches) that was sold to a normal customer, then that would be strange! Right, obviously if there was a 101/100 that would be strange too! Yes, Lange does manufacture new proto...
Excellent photos, Dimardi!
Loving that pink gold Zeitwerk Date, and the house in Bel Air! What a terrific experience - thrilled for you.
Superb photos of what sounds like an amazing event!
And I hope you're well, my friend!
