Thank you for your wonderful report. The pictures are out of this world. I now have even more respect for our friends at Lange & Sohne. The pictures made me appreciate my Dato even more. Langes are watches to enjoy and cherish. Mark

Inspiring and informative. This is a great example why Lange is at the top of the class and gaining further momentum among serious collectors.

FINISH. Period. It's their chamfering that i appreciate the most. The only one in the industry whereby guaranteed you can "see your face" in it from any angles and along the entire line. Keep up the good work, and i will vote with my wealth. Tschuss Steph... 

no, make that week! Amazing pictures. It is definitely going to be one of my wallpapers on my blackberry!

Blued screws are heated to achieve varying levels of blue. How is black achieved?

is done with diamond paste on a plate of metal (zinc I think). The part is held in a vice and polished on the plate by hand in a circular-ish motion until the surface is perfectly smooth, and thus black at certain angles. It also can be done mechanically.... 

.... the ultimate porn.... Thanks SJX! Not only are the photos breathtaking, it's very informative for people like me that's not so technical too!

Thanks for your explanations/pics. So nice pics shouldn´t be allowed. Best Regards

GO has lost its only in-house engraver and not going to replace with one?

I knew from a member of a Brazilian watch community, who visited GO at the beginning of June, that the balance cocks engravings are being commissioned to a professional in Dresden since the manufacture's engraver left around eight months ago.

Few manufacturers are able to impress with such magnification of movement parts. Seeing is believing!
