It's most likely an aesthetic choice ...
Quoting from the Langepedia article on ZW Date ... "the bridges next to the remontoire bridge are neither beveled nor polished to put the emphasis on the highly brushed remontoir bridge and raw German Silver."
This seems to be a signature feature of the ZWs, present in both the first-generation as well as the second-generation movements!
I was bored some time ago, so I decided to take a few photos of 148.038
I don't know if the post should be in the ALS topic or the Photography topic, but I'd like to know what you guys think of the photos.... because the watch is magnificent, there is no doubt 😉 ...
Wow they are amazing! What are you suing to take pictures if you dont mind me asking? Your macro are superb. From an subjective artistic perspective, I love your first and last picture the most.
Thanks for sharing and I hope you get bored more often!
Thanks for a nice words!
Much appreciate 😊 I used Canon 5D with EF 100mm 2.8L lens, but I use often Sony A7 with different Canon FD lenses, and... classic Canon AE1P
What a unique piece of machinery
In such a beautiful package, there is nothing like it. Thank you for sharing wonderful photos
These photos are tops
The clarity, lighting, etc. One question, on the movement side. It looks like the 3/4 plate has anglage on the upper part, but down on the part where the mainspring barrel is, it is not present? It this because it is adjacent to the remontoire?
You have a good eye for the details!
Yes, there is no anglage in this region, I don’t know what is the reason for that 🤔
Very interesting indeed.
I just checked the ALS website and the pictures also show no anglage in that region...would be interesting to know why it was omitted in that area. Source: official ALS website ...
One could argue that the spacing is too tight in that area for the owner to appreciate it.
However that’s a pretty lame excuse if it’s the case, so perhaps another reason on a watch like this.
I hope that's not the case
According to ALS, all the compnents that are not visible to the owner (under the 3/4 plate for many of their movements) are also finished to the same standard as those that are visible, so I don't think lack of owner appreciation would be the reason for i...

Amazing details, great technical feat!
This watch is incredible...thanks for the amazing photos!
Fantastic photos.
Some of the best I’ve seen on this forum. Of course I like the macros, but I like the first two also.
These photos are both appropriate and welcome in the Lange Forum!
Thank you for them. They're amazingly well done.
You are going to laugh...
I used several homemade, desk lamps, along with strong bulbs and transparent paper to diffuse the light. You have to be careful with the maximum wattage of the set, because one Ikea lamp melted 😂 Then I made many attempts to set it up and came out with wh...
The effect was the most important to me
...but I am sure with the lights designed for photography it would be definitely easier, then maybe it would be more boring too 😅
Thank YOU for sharing!
Please share more of such photographs in the future! We like these great macro photographs!
..
These are maybe the best Macro shots of a watch that I've seen in a while. Stunning, and the fact that you did that with 5D and 100mm macro is fantastic. Also, good props on the light, its very soft but highlights all the key aspects of the shot. Bravo, t...
Nice pictures can be taken with anything, even old cameras or phones if you have the imagination to use them.
The camera is just a tool to achieve the goal. Of course, the better the camera, lens and equipment is, the easier it is to achieve the desired effect, but it is not necessary 😊
