The term “flying” tourbillon gains new meaning as the lower section of the dial opens up, offering a unique perspective. Peer through the dial, past the tourbillon cage, and capture a lateral glimpse into the heart of the tourbillon. The rehaut functions as a mirror, enabling enthusiasts to scrutinize the intricate mechanics and finesse of the tourbillon.

Complementing these improvements, a newly crafted steel bridge provides a sturdy platform for the tourbillon’s intricate and captivating performance, highlighting our dedication to innovation and precision in horological craftsmanship. The architecture of the movement now offers a more pleasing aesthetic, effectively illustrating the mechanical operation in a manual winding movement.

DIAL INNOVATION

The outstanding feature of this exclusive edition lies in its fascinating dial. Precision-crafted in our facility, a black ceramic dial elegantly adorns a dark grey, givre-finished base plate. The highly polished disc made of black zirconium oxide ceramic carries laser-engraved scales and numerals lined with Berlac lacquer. Pike hands filled with HyCeram gently glide over the surface to ensure clear readability.

This extraordinary composition not only exudes sophistication but also reflects our mastery in handling advanced materials. The use of ceramic, known for its pressure-resistant and low-specific density properties, significantly contributes to the scratch resistance of the dial.

This technical finesse ensures a robust and detailed dial, serving as evidence of our commitment to innovation in horological craftsmanship. Inspired by the success of other editions, this unique combination exemplifies our continuous willingness to expand the boundaries of horological craftsmanship.

DETAIL IN THE LARGE ONION CROWN

A distinctive element of this collection is the black onyx stone with cabochon cut, serving as a highlight in the large onion crown, emphasizing the black elegance.

ENGRAVED EXCLUSIVITY

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.

Not only this quite contemporary extravagance makes him a personality with edges and corners - thus an ideal namesake for the first form watch of the manufacture LANG & HEYNE.


As LANG & HEYNE feels connected to Saxon watchmaking and heritage every watch model is named after a prominent ruler of Saxony.
King ANTON (*27.12.1755' 6.6.1836) as fifth-born, who was passionate about music and genealogie, was not destined to govern. In fact he wanted to become a clergyman, but eventually took over the throne of his deceased brother as a middle-aged man.

During difficult revolutionary times around 1830 in Saxony he acted with cautiousness, tolerance and understanding. Thus the people called him „the Kind".
