A. Lange & Söhne

Apologies...

 

G'day,

sorry for causing a confusion, but Edwin is right - including Peter Chong to be a great guy smile
Admittedly he´s looking better than i do. The proof can be found over on his Timezone A. Lange & Söhne forum (posted from SIHH last year, dating  Apr 23, 2007 - 05:56 AM)...

In terms of the watch, obviously some guys already touted out what it is.
Well, maybe not EXACTLY what it is - it´s fairly more than the paper specs do tell and that´s NOT seen easily. Actually it needs to KNOW...
And while i may have disclosed already too much, you can rest assured you will like it.
You will like it a LOT and there´s a great chance many will fall for it right on the spot as soon as they see it and learn more about it. At least that´s been the reaction by almost everyone who got to see it so far!
So yes, it´s a Cabaret Tourbillon and it comes with some new features. But that doesn´t tell the whole story and while it´s not the only square cased tourbillon to be presented in the upcoming fairs by one of the high-end brands, it wouldn´t be a Lange if it would be "just another" tourbillon...

Official press embargo are valid until the end of the month, so i´m afraid i´ll have to end up half way now...

Greetings from Germany,

Peter

Hmm ... not sure, but Tourbillon watches dont normally hack? This one does? Great pictures Peter! Lots of guest got invited by the number of chairs. Where did this dinner take place? Edwin

Indeed.... a heart STOPPING moment

 
By: MTF : March 14th, 2008-05:56
Peter, Thanks for the sneak preview. Being able to stop the heart of the tourbillon movement and set the seconds exactly to zero, without losing any time, is REALLY remarkable. With each passing month, Tony deHaas looks more and more like a mad horology p... 

Fairness of reporting,my friend.

Peter Chong is moderating < dimplomatic mode > another Lange forum on a different website < / dimplomatic mode > and is from Singapore. Peter Conrad (handle: "PeterCDE") is moderating this PurustSPro Lange forum. Peter is German. So, they have totally dif... 

We can mention Peter Chong and timezone

 
By: MTF : March 14th, 2008-09:39
Edwin, There was no need to go into As a long time friend of PuristS, contributor to various forums (including the WFED forum), and Lange watch guru, Peter Chong can be mentioned with pride here on PuristSPro . You can even mention timezone on PuristSPro ... 

That is new to me ...

 
By: -=EHH=- : March 14th, 2008-09:50
but great news, no less. I once had a post of mine "edited" to remove my referencing to the/my GMT+1 timezone. No sweat, I love the PuristPro website, a great source of knowledge and hospitality, and know that if I want to participate I have to play by th...

Peter,its just some misinterpretation.

Morning PeterCDE, I have to put it that way in order to clearly clariify its our promoderator from Germany.LOLOL...... Saw those pictures indicating Peter Chong and.....thought that PeterCDE,CDE-C stands for Chong(family name) and not sure the DE might fo... 

interesting mix-up...

if I were to use all my names, it would be PeterCHG...ok...here is a picture of Peter Conrad...last week at the Zwinger in Dresden. Don't bother...the watch dial is greyed out by Photoshop. p.s. I guess DE stands for Deutscheland...so the handle PeterCDE ...  

Picture Cabaret Tourbillon

Hello In the SZ (Sächsische newspaper), is now a Report on the new cabaret. Even a complete picture can be seen. @Picture from sz-online.com m The price for the clock in platinum is 205,000 euros Greeting Andreas...  

THanks mate ...

 
By: -=EHH=- : March 16th, 2008-00:29
the outsize date window looks, relative, small compared to the case of the Cabaret. What is the subdial at 8 used for? Edwin

I think...

 
By: andreaseck : March 16th, 2008-05:23
Hello Edwin I think it is the small second. Greeting Andreas

Hmm ...

 
By: -=EHH=- : March 16th, 2008-06:26
Small seconds ... is that nessasary(sp) since you can watch the tourbillon cage advance? Perhaps the seconds-hands is disconnected from the geartrain to make setting the "exact" time possible? Do you have access to the full sz-online.de article? Edwin

Please keep in mind copyrights

 
By: PeterCDE : March 16th, 2008-07:15
G'day, as you see i didn´t not interfere much. On the other hand, i need to ensure the site doesn´t run into copyright issues; the picture is one thing (and borderline), but the article is part of the newspaper´s pay-per-view coverage and thus protected b... 

Peter ...

I didnt expect Andreas to "echo" the subscriber-only part of the sz-online.de publication, but was just curious if he had access to the (copyrighted) information. I was just curious how Andreas knew about the function of the subdial at 8 o´clock. But I mu... 

Thank you!

 
By: PeterCDE : March 16th, 2008-08:47
Hi Edwin, sure you´re very welcome and there´s no problem right now. Just that i do know the handling elsewhere is different, which includes lifting pictures from other websites and media. I´m proud there´s a different, correct understanding in this place...
