Handwerkskunst... And its namesake...
Handwerkskunst literally means, hand craftsmanship. And the special Handwerkskunst model truly exhibits a tremendous amount of hand craftsmanship; truly making this a very special piece of art.
Although I agree with you Ken, that I personally would prefer the normal "bare" rose gold and platinum version more so than this more decadent version; I do find this Handwerkskunst model to be shockingly elegant, just not for me.
If I were an individual who had ordered the platinum and rose gold variant; I wouldn't be too worried about this version; since there are only 15, a very small limited edition.

Yes, one thing I forgot to mention...
... the regular PG and PT come with deployant buckle as standard while this Handwerkskunst comes with only the tang buckle - Lange keeps saying they can NOT make HG deployant buckle because it is too hard.... So, if they keep making HG models, then will t...
Thanks a lot Ken for these pics.
We can clearly see the differences between them. And I keep my first feeling: I much prefer the original version of the RL Tourbillon PLM. The layout of the dial is already a bit too complex to be suitable for a very detailed and refined finishing IMHO. T...
Can´t imagine to wear it ...
but could imagine to look at it, for hours - the "Handwerkskunst". As mentioned before, the same in white metal would be a killer Thanks for sharing, Ken! Oliver
Had to chance to see it in the metal
A hand crafted beauty for sure. If only it was exploited similarly in Platinum! Stephen
Interesting!
It seems that Handwerkskunst is not as popular as I had thought. While there is no chance it attracts my attention (I am a white metal guy - doesn't have to be platinum, though ), I had thought that at almost the same price, people would pick the much mor...
