His detailed shots reveal components rarely seen with such clarity, making this thread a timeless exploration of watchmaking artistry.
I believe that it is, at least as far West as Nova Scotia! I'm heading out on an overnight flight from California tonight, so I hope you'll excuse me for getting this thread off to a start prior to midnight here. My offerings for this month, of the Lange Mighty Double Split:
One of two column wheels that control the chrono movement:
The split minutes bridge and mechanism -- a mechanical marvel that contains two linked but independent, instantaneously jumping, flyback minutes mechanisms, one of which is a rattrapante! A wonder of watchmaking, in my humble view...
An illuminated view of the split seconds mechanism, including the heart shaped cam:
Finally, the two "split" mechanisms that give the watch its name, seen together
Looking forward to others' contributions!
Best,
Gary G
it's going to be a slow macro Monday. Who dares follow after such a magnificient display? :) An engineering marvel with incredible finishing: the (mighty) DS. Photographer extraordinaire with superb close-ups: the ( incomparable) GG. Who's next? :) fernando
In any case, my intent is to promote participation, not stifle it! I did get lucky with this series of shots, I think -- great subject matter and I just happened to select some friendly angles that led to 3-D views... Best, Gary
I'm stealing it for my personal private selfish indulgent. LOL The double split is such a monster! Regard Tyler
At this point probably my favorite watch to photograph -- so many interesting angles to pursue... Thanks for your note! Best, Gary

Figured that I'd use 'em here for Macro Monday... Best, Gary G
