Lange and Söhne’s trademark references, with the present model being rarest among the Zeitwerk series. When A. Lange and Söhne first introduced the Zeitwerk Handwerkskunst in 2012, all 30 models were immediately reserved, meaning that no pieces were ever available to public. 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. Read More
