It is an A. Lange Sohne
I don't know the exact year it was made but it would be around the middle of WW2 when the V2 program began.
There are several of these ALS watches, but obviously extremely rare. The V2 program was top secret, the existance of these
watches was unknown until after WW2 when they were captured. The United States wanted the rocket technology so Von Braun
was not tried as a criminal and brought to the United States with other key scientists. And so began NASA.

Wrist Scan edition for today July 4th is Open Now! “Funky, Crazy Watches”
Hello dear friends! I have the pleasure of being your host during our WS event for this weekend starting today Friday July 4th. I start this post wishing a Happy Independence Day to our American Friends!! Our Theme is "Funky, Crazy Watches" and we ask our...
Here a couple of additional crazy and funky watches in my collection:
My Jean D’Eve Sectora. Now residing in my wife’s collection. A retrograde quartz movement inside. Truly funky I feel! And my authentic James Bond watch. Sorry for those owners of big crown Submariners or Omega Seamasters. The guy who sold me this watch pr...
Hello, dear Abel - what a stimulating theme and great examples from your stables ! 😉
- Your wife must be happy, as the Jean D‘Eve Sectora really is a funky and truly hilarious example; I really like the retrograde movement ! - And these figures, squeezed and fariable in size are a nice feature as well ! - And the 007- watch has a ton of p...
Thanks a lot dear friend HS for your kind comments and so happy to know you liked my funky and crazy watches. Yes, the Sectora is as funky as it gets...
... and my wife is happy to wear it from time to time. Agree with you that the 007 watch is very funny and can start a conversation specially if the other party is a 007 fan too. Lol! I envy your hot weather as cold season is not my favorite part of the y...
Some truly amazing and funky watches 👌🏻
Love that case design from your Jean D’Eve Sectora👌🏻😘
I remember seeing the Jean D’Eve Sectora at a store (Tiffany's NYC 5th Avenue flagship?) as a kid
It stuck with me for decades, and I only recently thought to look it up to see what the heck that thing was
Two truly cool and rarely seen pieces 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Great contribution Abel and as you say, in comparison Omega, Rolex, Seiko and the other official 007 watches are just marketing exercises in comparison to this 😁👌🏻
Crazy and a lot of fun …
Hello dear Abel and friends ! I hope everyone is looking forward to a wonderful weekend. The Blake & Mortimer is always a fun companion on your wrist .. Crazy adventures await ) Back later with more crazy, fun watches ! Best regards Captain ...
Hello dear Captain!! I was expecting this watch was being shared this weekend: your B&M is a very fun companion on your wrist no doubt.
Of course some crazy adventures are expected... as well as some more crezy and fun watches from your collection. Look forward to that! Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend. Abel
Hello Capt‘n with kind regards !.. I truly liked your „comic strip-type“ of the B&M ‼️
What a hilarious choice ! - Looking forward to your return with even more pics ! HAGWE & Best, 😎
Perfect clean try for the theme 👌🏻👍🏻
And nicely done hour fonts to fully match the minute ones 🙌🏻
Thank you so much for your entry dear Brauner. I´m glad you like the theme! What an ingenious way to display time shows your Nord Variocurve.
A deliciously crazy watch it is. Thank you for sharing!! Hagwe! Abel
Hmmhh.. Fun and funky.. Let me see what to chip in to play.. 😉
Team, - not that easy this time but I tried for watches with let‘s say,“some pun“.. Decided to start with this one, a bit peculiar, but useful & hilarious: ABP Pro, also a doctor‘s watch on one of the most beautiful stretches of the Italian coastline,...
Hello dear friend HS!! What a great array of funky, fun and magical watches you display here. Nice to view again some of your "postal" images of nice places like the Amalfi Coast...
... which I had the pleasure of visiting some years ago and fall in love with the country. JLC has made some funky watches in the past and you show here some beautiful examples. I´m specially fond of the "televisor" models of which I own one of them in li...

You stingray pairing on the LC3072 is iconic 🙌🏻👌🏻 And of course there’s so much funkiness with the ABP 👍🏻

Wow IDBOT!! That´s truly a CRAZY way to display time!! I thought you had taken this shot through a mirror! Lol! Azimuth brand makes some crazy watches indeed but this "Back in Time" model...
... is really surprising. I can well imagine the face of someone who asks you the time and you show your watch dial. Lol! Did you get accustomed to read time easily? Great entry my friend. Cheers! Abel
Wonderful piece 🙌🏻👍🏻
Love these reverse time watches. Raketa has been making them for a while and Cartier also recently entered the game 😊 ...
I find so, too 😊👍🏻
Anything that requires a double take and a more conscious effort should be worth considering in my opinion 😉
Here is a first submission that may fit the bill !
The first, the Urwerk 105 CT. I think of modern pieces in the indie space Urwerk and MB&F evoke the spirit of today’s theme. ...
Hello Jay! Precisely I thought about these two brands when considering the theme for this weekend. Your Urwerk makes for a great example of beautiful funkiness and crazy ingenious design...
... and way to display Time. Thank you so much for sharing with us!! Hagwe my dear friend. Abel
Thanks Abel.
I’ve got it on the wrist today; inspired by this week’s theme. And for some reason it’s just been a while since I last wore it.
And another proposal. From Russia with love! ❤️
This time a more traditional case, but like the Urwerk a non traditional time display. ...
