I am very proud to present an absolute unicorn from one of the finest watchmakers in the World. This watch represents one of approximately 20 total Heinrichs to have ever been created by the Lang & Heyne manufacture. Production of this model was paused in 2021 and it is unclear if or when production will resume.
Movement side we have all the hand finishing one would come to expect from their small talented team of watchmakers. An uncomprehensive list of executions include hand frosting of the bridges, beveled teeth, black polishing, hand engraving, and not to mention the wheels are crafted in solid gold with spokes chamfered by hand.
The star of the show is the Remontoire (viewable through the caseback) delivering an even distribution of power across the 33 hour reserve. There is nothing better than placing the caseback against your ear to hear the Remontoire engage and release on every 5th beat.
Dial side we have a dial made of solid silver set with some of the most beautifully crafted hands in the business. Speaking of hands, the seconds hand jumps like a quartz watch with each release of the pallet fork linked to the Remontoire. On the evening of the 31st, the date hand will travel across the power reserve indicator to acknowledge the 1st of the month.
Condition: Very light swirl marks are visible as well as a few minor scratches to the side of the lugs likely when the original owner was changing the strap. This watch is furnished with the original black alligator Lang & Heyne strap and platinum buckle as well as a custom made brown shell cordovan strap by Attila Aszodi. (In case you're unfamiliar with Attila, let's just say this strap cost more than a brand new Seiko Turtle).
Complete Box and Papers dated April 2022. Please view last video to see condition of watch. Platinum Case measures 39.4mm x 11.5mm x 46mm lug-to-lug.
