Good To Know:
- Remontoire d’égalité, “situational” deadbeat seconds
- Part of a 9-piece limited edition
- Featuring an exquisite black enamel dial
- Powered by a titanium movement
- Superbly well-preserved and full set
Headquartered in Dresden, Germany, the independent brand Lang & Heyne was founded in 2001 by talented watchmakers Marco Lang and Mirko Heyne. After Heyne departed in the early years, Marco Lang continued to lead the brand until 2019, and the manufacture remains renowned today for its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive designs.
The present watch represents an exquisite example of their craft—both in terms of aesthetics and technology—and is part of an extremely limited edition, made in 9 examples to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the collaboration between the brand and the retailer “The Lavish Attic.”
A champion of simplicity, the purity of the model shines in its black enamel dial, simply adorned with railway divisions and white radial numerals—except the red 9, a nod to the collaboration. A detail which adds dynamism to the dial is the font of the numerals, gradually reducing in size from the top of the dial to the bottom. This grants the graphics a slight asymmetry whose purpose is to balance the dial design by compensating for the presence of the subsidiary dial at 6 with larger numerals at 12.
Technically, it features an exquisite—and hardly ever spoken of—complication which can be defined as “situational deadbeat seconds.” The movement (crafted out of grade 2 titanium) has a 1-second remontoire d’égalité connected to the central seconds. While intriguing, this has been and is currently done in other watches. However, after about 24 hours since being fully wound, the mainspring does not have enough tension anymore to engage the remontoire, which is at that point disconnected. The seconds then stop being deadbeat and become standard gliding seconds—thus acting somewhat as a power reserve indication.
