Oh, so Lange!
This is how a Lange fan should be! Disclaimer - I do NOT guarantee that this is accepted by Lange for everyone. I do not know the story behind all this and let me go to the conclusion. This is Mr. Wagner's - the former head of Engraving Dept. - last job. ...
Stupendous!
Hi Ken! Thanks for bringing this to us, definitely not something you'd see everyday! Or forever for that matter if not for your kind sharing with us! It is unique! It's sad to hear that Herr Wagner is leaving Lange, we shall all miss him so! Tschuss Steph...
Exactly...
... We will all miss Herr Wagner who was such a gentleman whenever we visited..... Happy new year, by the way, my friend! Ken
I salute the idea, but I find the outcome very flat.
We love Lange movements, because of their depht, or their " relief "... Here, the engravings are somewhet .... Flat. Best, Nicolas
Of course...
... the thickness of the metal back is much thinner than the watch. Best, Ken
Engraving can degrade a watch
into a preciosity or a self-personalized heirloom bearing the message remember ME.
Can always convert back to the display back
I don't see any problem here. This is not a pocket watch which if engraved would be much harder to get rid of it without damaging "originality" or "authenticity" which cause losses to the vintage lovers' community, LOL. Ken
Kind of cool, definately different.
The beauty of this is that one can always just replace the metal back with the standard crystal back if one should wish to do so.
Ah, that is the point, my friend...
... you see the important point very well, cc! Ken
Clearly evidence of great effort by the engraver.
But the engraving looks a bit "still" to me. Regards Ling
Couldn't do better than this....
... under the circumstances. I see what you mean, but this is engraving, not holography.... unfortunately. Nonetheless, yes, this is a great effort by Mr. Wagner and his last one. Thank you, Mr. Wagner! Ken
What a interesting idea!!!
Clearly a owner with taste and a sense of humour Best, Horo
