It's been a while to come here - FOUR Lange 1 Tourbillons spotted.
It's been really a while to visit here myself. Today, I was invited to the Lange Piknik, intended for the wanna-be Lange owners and new Lange owners where Joanna talked about the history and line ups of Lange, as well as Mr. al-s (THE big collector here) ...
The black enamel on the anniversary piece
Ken I saw it a few times and like you I found zero bubble and I used a loupe and looked at it like for 15 mins (annoying other guests who wanted to see it too). Very strange indeed. I too have my reservations in how the grand feu enamel technique is done ...
Link about Lange's enameling...
Yes, black is quite difficult. I believe this link was posted before -- it is about Lange's enameling process for this watch .
One of the greatest watches of all time.
The first one in platinum, definitely my favorite, and one I used to dream on quite a bit. Alas, I doubt I could ever own such an expensive wristwatch, but if I could, that could be the one. Perfection. Thanks, Ken.
black enamel
WOW! So cool. Supposedly that is very very difficult to make and one of, if not the main, reasons why the 1815 Anniversary FA Lange dial is not made from enamel. According the ALS people.
Very interesting time
Thank you for report , Ken-san ! We spent very interesting time . And I won two items :-) I wish more times will be held . The Four were quite beautiful ! Never to be bored to gaze. The enamel dial is really flat , technological revolution has occured ?
It's the 200th or 20th anniversary special LE model...
... announced last October in Dresden, and ONLY for those who are wealthy enough and have bought lots of expensive stuff RECENTLY. Lange wanted ONLY THOSE 20 people to celebrate, NOT many more thousands who have supported to celebrate it. Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Now I remember!
Yes, I remember now. I remember that and I recall I had some similar sentiments as you when I heard of that being launched.
