Lange SIHH 2011 Novelty Event in Tokyo (modem burner)

 

The event was held on Thursday, March 10 - a day before the quake.  Why am I posting this now?  I guess I need some distraction. 
Hope you enjoy and feel the spirit.  It was like this before the day.  I have no idea how the boutique is now and hope everyone, everything is all right.

Baguette - one from the boutique display

Say cheese - standard PT Dato looks so modest here.

Now, today's main event - RL Tourbillon PLM, the real ones.  I tried to capture the inside detail as much as possible, so you may get tired of them.  Also, my apologies as these were taken by Lumix (P&S), not DSLR.

Disk stopped at half by pulling the crown.

On my wrist (6.5" or 165mm), may look big but not too big in person.

See-through.

Bonus - want to see the disk open and close in action?  How it works.  Disk appears on 6 o'clock and disappears on 12 o'clock.  The move is instant but when you reverse it, the move can be seen slow.  Interesting mechanism.




Did you enjoy?  Despite the first impression, without actually seeing it, I kinda like this T-PLM.  Well made and no as big as I thought in person.

Special thanks to Peter Kesselmann, Brand CEO of Lange Japan, Jans Koch, Marketing Director of Lange Uhren (I hope he is okay and left Japan safely), and the staff of Lange Boutique Tokyo for organizing this event.

Thank you for looking through.  Oh no, shaking again....

Best,
Ken
