The Heinrich is no longer part of the current Lang & Heyne catalog and it is believed that only around 20 were made. It features four complications : Anti-retrograde radial pointer date (it jumps across from 31 to 1 at the beginning of the month) Power re...
the movement is sublime ( well of course ... it's L&H ) But I don't like the dial, too much going on and they make such great grand feu enamel dials The seconde morte is a complication I don't like either
