After Georg, Hektor, here comes Friedrich III. A simple 3 hand watch with a very detailed and carefully crafted manual movement. Would like to add that the AR coating done by L&H is super effective. ...  

I played with a couple of them at the AD not long ago, and I was impressed by how solid the movement feels in contrary to the bare minimum looks. Very nice feel when winding. I would love to see them making something more complicated… Congratulations to t... 

But you make a great point. Pre-ML-exit L&H was a formidable manufacture

They also had a unique programmable calendar with birthdays, a true gem, however the case was a bit too big, I believe 44mm but I could be wrong. I like the fact that they decreased the case sizes as of late. Big kudos to that! Also, due to this classic d... 

The Friedrich II and III are 39.2mm with tapered lugs so the fitting is great.

Yes, when one takes a closer look, you will notice the high level of polishing, bevelling, and frosting (instead of stripes), and the beautiful hand engraved characters at the back. I need to take a better pix of the back....the blue screws all look like ... 

I’ll join you one day…Inshallah 🙌🏿

My hastily taken pix does not do justice to the workmanship. Let me come back again with some better pix .

This is the first watch that I fell in love with. Actually no, it was the George, the movement made my jaw drop, then I saw this one and that’s actually how my watch days have begun, I never wore a watch since probably high school, after seeing this watch... 

My first L&H was the Georg, pretty elaborated movement for a time only watch. I am impressed with the product as well as customer service of L&H.

Wow... do you still have the Georg and Hektor? These Cathedral hands are so beautiful. And dealing with the brand directly is nothing but pleasure.

I asked for the cathedral hands to be used when I ordered the watch.

I have this in WG: ...  

Can I join you guys? Here is mine… ...  

Huge congratulations on the Third 🎊🎉🎈👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love the classic, simple, understated front and then you turn it…. Wow! The execution is excuisite. Thanks for sharing this beauty.

I got to mess with one yesterday via a local AD in Toronto. The frosting on the back, hands and overall finish are all top tier and absolutely gorgeous. Congrats on picking this one up. Like other said it really makes the other Lange look like a toddler’s... 

And the diamond endstone on the balance cock is a special touch.
