Lang & Heyne
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. ...
The pinnacle of German watchmaking, a brand that puts Lange to shame as far as finding goes.
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...
Would deadbeat second remontoires qualify as more complicated, because they used to make them.
But you make a great point. Pre-ML-exit L&H was a formidable manufacture
Yes absolutely that counts.
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...
They still have a couple of models in 44 mm housing the calibre I and should be able to house more complicated movements.
The Friedrich II and III are 39.2mm with tapered lugs so the fitting is great.
Thank you....
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 ...
Austere beauty. Is this in SS or WG? The dial/hands and caseback are equally gorgeous.
I’ll join you one day…Inshallah 🙌🏿
Absolutely. It is still a small manufacture running low volume...
My hastily taken pix does not do justice to the workmanship. Let me come back again with some better pix .
Huge congratulations!
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...
I know what you mean…
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.
Awesome watch.
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.
Yeah I still have them😁
I asked for the cathedral hands to be used when I ordered the watch.
Top notch
I love the classic, simple, understated front and then you turn it…. Wow! The execution is excuisite. Thanks for sharing this beauty.
Wicked
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...
Thks! It looks minimalist and simple but upon closer examination....as you described, it is pure traditional craftsmanship.
And the diamond endstone on the balance cock is a special touch.
