Pictures aren't mine obviously but I found this watch on Hodinkee, what do you guys think? Personally I'm a big fan of the work they did on the dial and think the complications are well displayed, I usually prefer manual winding watches but with such a rotor I would gladly make an exception...

Carl - That's nothing but wrist art!

SearChart · 18 December 2013, 02:32 AM

Engraved dial, tourbillon, decorated movement ...

is this heaven?

The craftsmanship on that watch is outstanding!

the attention to detail and beauty is why ALS in on the grail list.

Indeed, A. Lange & Söhne is, to me, one of the best when it comes to craftsmanship and putting art in their watches.

Great stuff Carl. With only 15 to be produced, it'll definately be a rare find.
The Handwerkskunst treatment is very unique indeed, but at $350k, it will not be found in my dresser drawer

Eh, its ok.

That is beautiful Carl!

Fredrik · 3 January 2014, 12:35 AM

I just visited the new ALS retailer here in Stockholm, Sweden. They had a rather large collection and I was quite impressed! It was the first time I got to handle a modern Lange watch. Unfortunately I do not have that kind of money just lying around and I will not plunder my pension funds just yet.

Oh, and yes, pictures would have been nice... I just didn't think of it.

It's easy to get caught up in the moment and forget the pics. I'm guilty as well.

The work on that dial is beautiful Carl! Although, not for me, haha. It's amazing though. I'm a huge ALS fan. Perhaps one day...

vtac82 · 3 January 2014, 04:27 PM

yuongwee · 3 January 2014, 06:11 PM

Even the simplest of them all looks fabulous.. here is my one and only, the Saxomat with an outsize date.

SearChart · 3 January 2014, 07:22 PM

The decorating on those movements is outstanding.

is that platinum or WG?

Pateks are made by artisans, but Langes are made by artists.

QED.

I also love the Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst. It's why lotteries were invented.

Two macro pics taken of the ALS Richard Lange "Pour le Merite" Tourbillon using a new lens I bought for my iPhone 5s:

Fusee Chain:

Moving Tourbillon:

Not the best lighting conditions in my guest room bathroom, so I will take more once I set up some better lighting and master the new macro lens more (I would get better shots for sure with my Canon 7D SLR, but I'm trying to master this lens for Instagram posts).

Did I already say that you have nice watches?
