I’d get the Georg certainly. I have the Friedrich III in rose gold with cathedral hands and it is beautiful there is no denying that but Georg, its sculpted and shaped case, the unbelievable caliber, it is just something else. Heck I’m thinking of buying it knowing that it’s too big for me, unbelievable piece.
Yeah hopefully one day. It is the watch that started this watch journey for me.

I just looked at that caliber and fell in love with watchmaking. I just moved to a new city, thanks to your post I just checked and realized there is an AD here who sells L&H, will go and see if they have a Georg.
Having championed Marco’s work since 2003 in the US, I’m very familiar with his watches and him. Personally have owned a Johann initially, as the FIII wasn’t yet created when I got that piece. Since then, in 2017 when he showed the Georg in Baselworld, I was smitten. Took me a couple of years to get my Georg😉
The FIII is as I’ve talked many folks over the years, possibly the most perfect dress watch. I like it the execution in a RG case with the solid silver frosted dial, and blued steel cathedral hands. It is pure elegance!
The Georg is one of my favorite designs, haven't been able to try one on yet though

A few friends love them, others have said it feels like wearing an ingot on the wrist. So I'd like to try one out first before committing to a custom piece.
My favorite ones are the batch done for a korean retailer. Very funky!
What is not often spoken about is their use of ceramic for parts of their dials, with them being laser etched. A very cool new technology. Also, Lang & Heyne buy blocks of black enamel that they cut section out of, to create dials. This was a revelation when I visited back In Dec. 2023. Essentially using laser to cut out a dial from the block of French enamel with supreme precision. Black grand Feu enamel being the hardest to make in an acceptable in a watch dial, when made the traditional way. A clever use of modern technology in today’s L&H arsenal. Cheers!
