Description

Lang & Heyne Friedrich III White Gold (black dial)

In 1349 Freidrich III and his brothers took over the lands of Thuringa and Meissen from their father. During his regency, Freidrich III consolidated the inner structure of the country and increased the reach and wealth of Wettin (later Saxony) by developing public administration and internal policy. His dedication and drive resulted in a stronger, better region ready for future growth.

The Friedrich III collection aims to replicate the straightforward thinking of this ruler with its simple, discreet and highly functional attributes. The minimalistic dial featuring Roman Numerals and a small second display symbolises an appreciation for simplicity without sacrificing detail or functionality.

The slightly convex, sapphire case back provides a view of the in-house calibre VI equipped with an architectural masterpiece that is unmistakably Lang & Heyne – a trigonal bridge for a stable rate.

This collection features three case materials: massive 18ct rose gold, 18ct white gold and stainless steel. Further distinction is made by the dial colour which can be either solid silver/bright frosted or galvanic black.
Each piece has its own appeal and is very much driven by the preferences of its wearer.

Friedrich III in white gold combines exclusive materials with classic design and rose gold cathedral hands finish off a delightful timepiece of extraordinary appeal.

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 VI

“Back to our roots” – this phrase constituted the motto for the creation of the fifth movement presented by LANG & HEYNE:
A simple three-hand watch finished, of course, in finest style.

The CALIBER VI continues to have the design of the trigonal bridge which was derived from CALIBER V. With a stable rate and only the important functions of a fine watch included, it is unmistakably a LANG & HEYNE.
