Whilst I can appreciate the complexity and technical brilliance this really is not my type of watch but it is still fascinating.

New Watch by Marco Lang
Called The Seven Spheres, and inspired by the alien contraption from the movie Contact. Here is the website explaining the project: https://www.marcolangwatches.com/en/the-seven-spheres/ Thoughts? ...
Just got the email too
I think it's really cool, but there are other watches on my list I'd want first if spending that much.
I fell like once you wind that watch
You drop into a different dimension. So cool looking. Edit - funny after looking at the link it is based off the machine in contact. How cool!
OK, my first reaction is, 'W.T.F.!'
It took me a while to figure out where and what the minute hand was attached to. It will take me longer than that to understand the motion of those concentric spheres. It's a mechanical marvel, a mix of gyro-turbo and deep space. I don't know the price, b...
yup..
Both this watch and with Marco's last watch, he's done a good job of making it fresh
Looking at the pictures this is such a incredible and amazing watch
Need to see it in person too

It will take him many year to complete the 18 pieces. Meanwhile he will create other less complex watches along the lines of the Zweigesicht concept. A 7 axis Tourbillon within the seven titanium spheres/cages all rotating at different speeds, getting qui...
What's the point
if i have no opportunity to obtain one, its uninteresting to me. i've met Marco, I like him, I have a King Johann which i love. this is nothing against Marco. but this fad of limited editions unavailable to all but a tiny group is actually offensive and d...
I understand fully your frustration at what is happening all too often
I would like to point out that Marco is perhaps unique in his work, in that he alone is doing all the work, from initial design concept to prototyping to all the traditional hand finishing. His ability to make more than a watch a year is unlikely. On top ...
I dont get it
He doesn't play games. I emailed him many times and he's always been polite and replied to me relatively quickly given he's a one man operation. I don't think he is trying to play games at all or anything like that. How many watches can one guy make?
