The Georg was my first L&H....
Mine was made to order in standard spec as I wanted it in RG with matching gold lancet hands. The one I saw at the AD was a WG with blue hands.
I was only considering to add a cabochon to the crown which did not happen in the end due to the cost. I could have also ordered it in double instead of triple lugs but I decided not to as the triple lug design is part of original design elements of L&H. Along the way, L&H came up with special editions with different dials and your pix shown has a custom dial (Korean jade with 2 sub-dials) for a group of Korean collectors. You can also ask for personalized engravings (I did not, just to keep it simple), tweaks to the strap such as color and stitching can be accommodated too.
I do not think the departure of the founders resulted in any quality concerns. The team is accessible and responsive, they helped me out more than the local AD in resolving issues with my subsequent MTO Friedrich III. L&H remains focus, if you noticed, it did not ramp up its capacity just becos demand has gone up. According to the CEO when he was in town for a "road show" late 2024, L&H is still making 2-300 watches a year, Even that, the backlog remains.
The watch sits well on my wrist with the case curvature. The closest in my collection I could compare with is a 44mm Panerai luminor (rather than a 42mm Speedy).

Not forgetting the Hektor I
Lang & Heyne Georg - Thoughts on this piece?
I've been thinking of adding a Georg for a long time, and I feel like I have the super modern end of the collection covered, so a dressy piece is on the table. My other options are something complicated from Patek, or maybe a Moritz Grossman. But I am not...
Stunning watch, but it wears big
I tried it on a few years ago because i love the movement layout and finishing in the georg….but it looked very large on my skinny 6.25” wrists. Additionally, i wasn’t a big fan of the triple lugs. It makes the watch case more pronounced and draws attenti...
Interesting
I didn't like the triple lugs on the round Lang & Heyne watches I tried, but for some reason they look ok on the Georg to me, but I haven't seen one in-person. The sizing comment is a little concerning. My wrist is about 6.5 or so. So pretty avg... does e...
I ask that same question….lol
Maybe it is true…. But german watches tend to be a bit on the larger side. I was quite happy when moritz grossman started their 37mm line.
Fantastic watch from a movement, dial and overall perspective, I agree! 👌🏻
But also agree to the triple lugs and would add the crown protection, which seems not aesthetically correct…
I owned the George for about a year.
I had it in WG with the white enamel dial. It’s a beautiful watch wears nicely. Not too big on my 6.75 inch wrist. I didn’t like the triple lugs, couldn’t swap out straps too easily. And ultimately square watches aren’t my thing. However, I have often con...
I had bought it preowned from a friend.
So can’t comment on what he paid for it new from an AD. Mainly the movement is special so that’s why I keep considering it. ...
Happy to share my experience
Great watch overall, happy to have one in my collection. To your questions: 1. I got a rather common version in RG with white enamel dial and blued hands so no experience with customization. 2. No concerns over quality - per my experience the assembly qua...
Don’t have anything handy, but will switch to Georg tomorrow
and will post accordingly!
It was far too much for my wrist.
I managed to try two versions on over the years; a darker dial definitely helped the watch wear a little smaller. But it felt too long lug to lug for me, and quite “blocky”. Beautiful watch; I love the movement layout. But I spent about a year trying to e...
The blocky thing is what I am concerned about too given it's a dress watch!
What was the wearing experience comparable to?
The larger size Reverso, in terms of length. But of course the Georg is wider too.
I wonder if the dimensions are close to an Apple Watch in terms of length and width.

Wow!
Thanks. Your pieces look great. If it does wear closer to a 44mm Panerai it might be a no-go for me. I love my Panerai but don't like wearing it more than 4 - 6 hours because I find it gets kinda uncomfortable after that.
You buy it for the movement, though might not be the best case
I’ve never tried it on but this is clearly NOT a thin, elegant (and bit boring) watch like a Calatrava or JLC extra flat. The Georg plays in another league, as I wrote yesterday in another thread the bridges are THE benchmark. ...
Yes the architecture of the movement + finishing is next level
I actually love the case design and dial side too though. Especially if it's customizable to be closer to what is in the OP.
I really do prefer round watches
and that's the only thing I'm not so sure of when it comes to this watch. It's gorgeous and the finishing is impeccable. But as said ... rectangular is something I don't like very much. I like my Parmigiani Ionica and Chronoswiss Digiteur but always someh...
Personally, I would not buy an independent brand where the founders are no longer there, especially if the brand has their names in their trademark.
Otherwise, these are incredible watches and I have been to their shop in the city centre of Dresden.
It’s absolutely stunning in the flesh!!!😍😍😍
It’s slightly too long for my wrist. But I could find an excuse to ignore it!😆 I love the curvature of the case and the fine detailing on the sides! Absolutely gorgeous layout of the movement.🤌 As others have stated, it’s a little thick for a dress piece....
Sorry not an owner but I do think the Lang & Heyne Georg is really beautiful from both sides.
I wasn't even aware of this company until Bruno M2's great report post on them, but I really like and appreciate the fact that you are able to truly customise a watch to what you want. The only thing that bothers me about this watch is that it does indeed...
I don't have...
experience with the Georg but it is so beautiful, especially from the back. I did customize a Friedrich III and IIRC there was a little delay in the delivery time (Indicated=10 months, Actual=13 months). The overall experience was very positive - from the...
Very pretty watch that I owned for a short while
The watch definitely wears large, however, this is somewhat mitigated by the curvature of the case. The movement is gorgeous and inspired by one of Christian Kling's movements. My issue with the brand is more philosophical as both founders are no longer w...
Oh, My!
What a piece that is! I don't normally fall for rectangular watches, but this one is.....Special. I would take it just as it is. Thanks so much for sharing.
