A second on the dark side of the moon....
G'day,
sorting through SIHH impressions, i found this one a nice view. Well, one of the unintended shots and actually mis-focussed (the idea was to picture the seconds hand, which turned out better in a different picture).
But then - ever seen the underside of the seconds hand at full moon?
Well, the Langematik Perpetual (in RG) allows for such exercise:
The blue moonphase is a really nice colour spot for the RG case and hands; i like the warm shine and find the RG version to be a very beautiful watch in nature.
Cheers,
Peter

WOW Peter that is a great shot >>>
similar to the new masthead picture: SUPER!! The screw just right of the balance holding the (gold?) lever: what is it? The stop works? Edwin
This one?
Hi Edwin, thanks a lot! It´s been fun, which is not the least due to the beautiful and interesting watches! I´m in hope there´s something of interest to share, so hang in there The "Lange 31" indeed features a stop second, with it´s lever being visible in...
Another great shot ...
my "movement shots" almost always turn out bad. What is your "secret"? picture by SteveG showing the stop second lever on a Lange-1 : Notice the caliber number being L901.4 instead of L901.0 Edwin...
Oh, that´s unfair! Steve is the king of watchpics!!!
Hi Edwin, that´s not fair! SteveG rules But i feel honoured Well, no big secret! Actually it´s basically an IKEA dustbin as a "light box", to avoid reflections. Looks strange, i tell you... Which did cause a couple of amused remarks, when i pulled it out ...
These are magnificent pictures, Peter! (& the watch is pretty
fine too!) Your discovery of the underside of the seconds-hand reminded me of the below similar surprise, one of the reasons I love photographing watches. This is a crop from a picture intended to show the escape and fourth wheel bridge work, but ended up...
Big thanks, Steve! That´s a very nice one!
Hi Steve, words from the master of watch pics are always appreciated! It´s been really fun, with the limited gears and time during a busy fair adding a small challenge. Oh wow, that shot is very nice! They don´t call it "mirror polishing" for nothing Cool...
