His detailed shots reveal components rarely seen with such clarity, making this thread a timeless exploration of watchmaking artistry.
I believe that it is, at least as far West as Nova Scotia! I'm heading out on an overnight flight from California tonight, so I hope you'll excuse me for getting this thread off to a start prior to midnight here. My offerings for this month, of the Lange Mighty Double Split:
One of two column wheels that control the chrono movement:
The split minutes bridge and mechanism -- a mechanical marvel that contains two linked but independent, instantaneously jumping, flyback minutes mechanisms, one of which is a rattrapante! A wonder of watchmaking, in my humble view...
An illuminated view of the split seconds mechanism, including the heart shaped cam:
Finally, the two "split" mechanisms that give the watch its name, seen together
Looking forward to others' contributions!
Best,
Gary G
it's going to be a slow macro Monday. Who dares follow after such a magnificient display? :) An engineering marvel with incredible finishing: the (mighty) DS. Photographer extraordinaire with superb close-ups: the ( incomparable) GG. Who's next? :) fernando
I'm stealing it for my personal private selfish indulgent. LOL The double split is such a monster! Regard Tyler
. . . with a pic of my latest addition. Cordially, Art
I am ashamed to admit that I "used" mine again yesterday to prepare a packaged soup. Well, better than never ... Great thanks for these! amerix
Hi Gary, These macros make me speechless. The DS is for me the ultimate chrono, I would put it on a shelf to admire it every day. Thanks also for the subtitles as we often watch them without completly knowing what is this or that part made for. Cheers, Mark
and you are not allowed to post any more macro pics ...there are people with heart conditions out there you know.... :) Just astonishing dear Gary .... better than in Lange official press Truly masterful work Best Damjan
