完整圖錄內容
The Zeitwerk Handwerkskun’s robust case is 41.9 mm in diameter. It is made entirely with platinum, accompanied with polished bezel and lugs, and brushed sides. The hand chiseled dial, reflected by the reference’s name Handwerkskunst, is particularly unique. Rendered with a special burin, the dial showcases a unique grainy texture called “tremblage”. Across the dial is a silver time bridge made of rhodium-plated German silver, which provides an eye catching contrast in texture.
The watch’s skeletonized caseback allows the wearer to view Lange Calibre L043.1 in action, the jump hours powered by a constant force escapement. The Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst is truly a marvel to admire and the present watch is in unused condition.
A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
