Live Pictures of the RICHARD LANGE TOURBILLON “Pour le Mérite” HANDWERKSKUNST(Part 4 of 6)

Indeed: a celebration of craftsmenship
Many thanks for these stunning live pictures! It is a watch made from one cast, "aus einem Guß" as Germans do say. It would have been a "perfect" watch if it would have had the size of the first PLM but still it gets away with being "a bit" larger as the ...
Thanks for the German terms :-)
I learned something. About your input the finishing of the dial is like the rotor, initially, from a distance, it looks pretty similar, as they are both done with the tremblage technique. From the reference picture below (from A Lange & Soehne's site), it...

The special edition is much more attractive

Excellent coverage!
Thank you Kong for the excellent coverage of this fantastic and important historic. Congratulations to A. Lange & Soehne for their beautiful new boutique. I wish the boutique tremendous success to the A. Lange & Soehne brand!
One of the best write ups I have ever seen. Hands down.
AL&S has become my favorite brand of all time, I love everything about their watches. Guess I am not as picky there is just something about them. Next watch for sure. Thanks so much for posting this, I felt like I was there!
Great coverage!
and mission accomplished as you set out to take us along for the whole day's festivities.. Thank you!
Thank you very much
Kong: Thank you very much for your time and effort. It was a very exciting presentation that had that "you are there" feel to it. It was really enjoyable for me. Thanks - Mark
Fantastic coverage of the event Kong!
I had no idea you were there. I was so looking forward to meeting you one of these days - and it would have saved me posting my very amateurish brief of the event. Thanks for putting so much time & effort into this presentation as I'm sure we all apprecia...
Thanks Fernando!!
I am looking through my pics too ...trying to find your face We are so close yet so far ...sigh. Likewise I so looking forward to catch up with you. Next round. Your postings are important to all of us... so it is nothing to do with the pics or the writin...
Excellent shots my friend!
Thanks for bringing us on this new journey in the opening of an A. Lange & Sohne boutique! Tschuss Stephen
Thank you Kong!!
What a comprehensive coverage! After seeing real life photos from you and Fernando, I'm liking this Handwerkskunst more and more! Lange surely have a winner here! Good to see you've had great fun at the event!
One can only dream, eh?
Thanks for the extensive coverage shots, Kong. Enjoyed it! T.
Great report as usual Kong...
Its a nice location to have Lange boutique. Small and cosy I'd say. Cant help but to mention there is a very nice optical shop around the corner called PuYi. Regards
Can't agree more about the venue ,,,
it is really peaceful despite the buzzing Harbour City. PuYi and Shanghai Tang side by side... nice decor too. Thanks for viewing. Kong...
Kong, it is so fulfilling to read your post.
I can imagine the time and effort you put in to produce the good work. Lange has done it again with flying colour. Regards Ling
