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. He was first
astonished by the request, but then got excited about
it.
And the owner had envisioned this image on the Lange 1....
And the result is
THIS! Metal back with pocket watch movement engraving!
If you look at it well, this
engraving has three levels of
surface.....
Look at this balance
cock....balance screw, hair spring....
And hand engraved
AL&S Dresden, just like the old pocket watch.... And
the movement number has been hidden, so the number appears just like the pocket watch....
Those gears with round and
square hole....
How these gears are without
backlash.....
I just happened to
see this somewhere some time
ago, but I re-realized that there are
extraordinary Lange fanatics
out there, folks!
This was holiday present for my eyes!
Wow!

Oh, so Lange!
Stupendous!
Exactly...
I salute the idea, but I find the outcome very flat.
Of course...
Engraving can degrade a watch
Can always convert back to the display back
Kind of cool, definately different.
Ah, that is the point, my friend...
Clearly evidence of great effort by the engraver.
Couldn't do better than this....
