The movement layering on that Traditionelle is pure artwork. I'm not really a fan of the Geneva waves because it usually looks overdone. But.....

Lange 1 Tourbillon Handwerkkunst All Lange complications are special.... This one is extra special. They only made 20. Lange has an awesome history - the Saxon watch tradition is actually very old. It took a little break from say... 1938 to 1990... hmmm... But Lange is leading the charge back (they have different design principles and use "German Silver" for their movements, which gives them a unique appearance).

FFS!
That is a beautiful instrument. I need the car first. If I didn't...this would be IT.

All the ones with traditional Geneva techniques will have it.

Perlage on the baseplate
Geneva waves on the cocks (yes... yes... cocks)
Circular graining on the front plate and other bits of metal
Directional hand made graining on things like gears and wheels
Hand beveled teeth on the wheels
Black polished parts (by hand) - like the swans neck regulator on the micro adjuster
Countersunk screw holes where the plates are screwed
Hand polished screw heads...

Lot's of details. Then the Germans have all their own little things - like the blued screw heads that hold the chatons down where the rubies are attached to hold the pinions... the three quarter base plates... I'm still learning a lot about the German styles.

I also read about their German silver incorporation (yes, I read everything , but the variants on that particular specimen are...mesmerizing.


For example, is that a cotton candy blue ostrich?

I saw the blue screwed heads were more of an action toward longevity and durability than aesthetics, so that the components would increase regarding their integrity and lifetime.


Also saw that many makers intentionally powder them blue as a result of the heritage, but only a few do so just enough to ensure their stability, and keeping the consistencies even across their usage.

I already posted that mine are bigger than his 17" although I used a metal measuring tape so not exactly accurate

Sometimes you gotta stick yourself out there and inject some levity into the situation.
