Description

Lang & Heyne Anton Platinum

King Anton ruled Saxony in the early 1800s despite never being destined for the thronee. As fifth-born, he came to power in middle age and proceeded to rule with tolerance and a delicate understanding of power balance during times of revolution and upheaval. This earned him the title of Anton ‘the kind’ – an unexpected treasure who served his people well. The Anton Tourbillon was created with this noble heritage through the skilled workmanship of master watchmakers trained in the art of horological design and construction. A Lang & Heyne watch is always a small piece of magic and the Tourbillon Anton is no exception with its filigree detail and high precision.

For over 200 years the tourbillon has served as a symbol of mastery in the world of horology so it is only natural that the master watchmakers at Lang & Heyne committed themselves to meeting this industry benchmark. During the first half of the 20th century, the tourbillon complication was enhanced by the Saxon School of Watchmaking with their interpretation of the side-mounted, ‘flying’ carousel. Lang & Heyne’s Tourbillon embraces this concept in the stunning rectangular Anton. The lightweight, delicate nature of the Tourbillon cage reduces the power demand and shock sensitivity of the mechanism, rendering the movement more functional and reliable.

The beauty of the rectangular calibre with its spectacular bar-movement and chatoned, double-diamond, end stone crowns is further enhanced by the opening on the “Grand Feu” enamel dial for the delicate tourbillon cage. Whether set in a solid, 18ct rose gold or Grade 5 platinum case the Anton Tourbillon is both a joy to wear and a beauty to behold – the perfect balance of functionality and form.

Lang & Heyne: Tradition and Values

Tradition and value are evident in all aspects of a Lang & Heyne timepiece.  However, several highlights ensure your Lang & Heyne stands apart from its contemporaries in both style and finish.

  1. Unmistakeable: three lugs provide a stable hold for the watch strap and emphasize the vertical axis to balance it against the crown and its protective form.

  1. Detail: polished and partly flame-blued screws are a particular source of pride for Lang & Heyne. Using a fine, goat’s hair brush on domed threads and bevelled/polished heads, in-house specialists manufacture only 12 to 15 screws per day!

  1. Heritage: using a rediscovered method from the 18th and 19th century, plates, bridges and balance cocks are given a unique cover known as silver grinding which uses a stiff-bristle brush to apply a special mixture to the brass movement component resulting in a fine, grain-like surface that is then gold-plated.

  1. Hands: every attention is given to the perfection of the three-dimensional shape and fill of the hands whether they are ornate, engraved Louis-XV hands or perfectly filed/polished spade & cathedral hands, the beauty is in the detail.

  1. Precision: the balance spring is mathematically and precisely calculated to enhance every oscillation. The last coil is carefully adjusted upwards for precision by an experienced specialist in a time-consuming and exacting procedure so you reap the benefits of better timing.

  1. Solid gold: since 2016 each Lang & Heyne watch houses golden wheels with chamfered spokes combined with steel pinions to decrease friction and enhance performance.

  1. More gold: in accordance with Saxon watchmaking tradition, polished gold chatons are countersunk and screwed into the bridges and balance cocks, giving the ruby jewels a deep, fiery-red appearance. However, the crowning glory is the diamond that crowns the masterpiece, visually enhancing and protecting the tongued jewels set below and ensuring the sensitive pivot is resistant against shock.

  1. Enamel: Many models feature a pristine enamel dial, produced in several layers through a complex manufacturing process that delivers a charming, characterful result, well-suited to Lang & Heyne’s noble collection.

  1. Moustache Anchor: the anchor system is made of solid gold and operates in the lever escapement to correct the barycentre of the anchor which facilitates smoother power transmission to the balance in various positions, enhancing performance and power usage.

  1. In-house calibres: it goes without saying that this level of watchmaking and attention to detail is achieved by overseeing and steering every aspect of production. Lang & Heyne develops and uses in-house, manufactory calibres in all its timepieces.

CALIBER IX

Since more than 200 years the Tourbillon has served as a symbol for masterly performance in horology. During the first half of the 20th century the interpretation by the Saxon School of watchmaking with „flying“ bogy mounted on one side, brought it to maturity. LANG & HEYNE follows this tradition with a Tourbillon – lightweiht and elegant due to delicately built cage.

ANTON, as second rectangular watch of LANG & HEYNE, represents in a way the brother of model GEORG with its spectacular bar-movement. The sparkling diamond endstone crowning the remaining Calibers is continued with two chatoned diamonds next to the logo engraving – virtually as double coronation for the new masterpiece of the LANG & HEYNE watchmakers.
