LANG & HEYNE x Collector's House GEORG – Special Edition Penny Watch


LANG & HEYNE x Collector's House – GEORG Penny Watch Gold Special Edition 2025

Dresden, Germany / Seoul, South Korea – 25th September 2025 - Lang & Heyne proudly announces its entry into the South Korean market through an exclusive partnership with Collectors House, Seoul’s respected boutique for independent watchmaking.

To mark both the beginning of this cooperation and the 7th anniversary of Collectors House, Lang & Heyne unveils the Georg Special Edition Penny Watch. An edition strictly limited to seven pieces, created for the collector community that surrounds Penny Watch Seoul.

A New Chapter in South Korea

Collectors House has established itself as a destination for connoisseurs in Seoul, curating a community of enthusiasts and giving independent watchmaking a stage in Korea

With shared values of rarity, authenticity, and craft, Collectors House is the natural partner to represent Lang & Heyne in the region.

A Historic First for Korea

This is the very first watch in Korea created in collaboration with a high-end independent watchmaker. While Korea’s watch market has expanded considerably, the culture of collecting remains relatively underdeveloped and lacks diversity. In this context, such a collaboration is an unprecedented milestone.

Even globally, it is rare for a club of dedicated collectors to produce a limited-edition timepiece. Beyond personal pride, this collaboration represents a meaningful statement, showcasing to the world that Korea has passionate collectors and a vibrant watch community.

A Bespoke Design, Created by Collectors

The Georg Penny Watch Edition reflects a design fully directed by Penny Watch. The dial layout, color scheme, hands, and crown cabochon were all chosen by the community, while bespoke engravings on the movement were made at our request.

The design concept, initially inspired by the traditional Korean jade tone and ultimately finalized in emerald green, imbues the watch with an additional layer of significance. Complementing this is a specially commissioned strap, crafted in close collaboration with the head of 109 Leather Atelier over several months, exclusively for this edition.

Sold Out Ahead of Official Release

Although today marks the official launch of the Georg Penny Watch Edition, all seven pieces of the limited series had already been sold out within the Penny Watch community.

Considering the relatively high price and being a less popular independent watchmaker, there were initial concerns, yet every timepiece was successfully allocated among members. I think this outcome underscores the strength of Korea’s market and Penny Watch’s community, demonstrating the capacity to fully embrace independent watchmaking. It further paves the way for future collaborations with independent watchmakers, offering opportunities for partnerships shaped through the perspective of Korean collectors.

The Ceramic Dial – Rare Craft, Refined Finish

The Georg Special Edition Penny Watch introduces a dial that exemplifies Lang & Heyne’s pursuit of artistry and precision:

  • Material & Technique: White ceramic, chosen for its resilience and timeless clarity. Unlike enamel, ceramic’s density and resistance require diamond tools for chamfering and finishing.

  • Surface: The main plate beneath is treated with givrée technique, producing a frosted, light-catching texture and finished in a refined turquoise–mint tone.

      Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

  • Detailing: The ceramic elements are laser-engraved before arriving at Lang & Heyne. In Dresden, each piece is carefully refined with chamfered edges and polished surfaces using diamond tools and pastes, creating subtle three-dimensionality and brilliance.

  • Anniversary Element: The numeral “7” is discreetly emphasized within the small seconds, commemorating Collectors House’ seventh anniversary.

The Movement – Caliber VIII

At its heart beats Lang & Heyne’s Caliber VIII, a fully visible manual-winding movement, renowned for its architectural presence:

  • Hand-engraved edition marking on the movement, dedicating it to Collectors House.

  • A stop-seconds mechanism and balance with gold screws and Breguet overcoil hairspring.

The Strap – Crafted by 109 Atelier

To complete the timepiece, Lang & Heyne collaborated with 109 Atelier, a Seoul-based leather workshop founded in 2009. Since its beginnings, 109 Atelier has remained committed to originality and quality above all else. In an era often driven by mass production, the atelier continues to work exclusively through bespoke commissions - an ethos deeply aligned with independent watchmaking.

For this edition, 109 Atelier selected Ecbatana leather by Badalassi Carlo, the pinnacle of Italian vegetable tanning. Crafted using the traditional Vacchetta technique with natural oils and powdered bovine shinbone, the leather develops extraordinary depth and individuality. Each hide is deliberately marked by artisans, ensuring that no two straps are alike.

This philosophy of heritage and originality mirrors the spirit of Lang & Heyne: crafting timepieces and details that aspire to timeless meaning.

Exclusivity and Availability

With only seven pieces worldwide, the Georg Special Edition Penny Watch is both a celebration of Collectors House’ anniversary and a milestone in Lang & Heyne’s journey into South Korea109 Atelier

LANG & HEYNE – Moritz Triple Calendar No. 53 Anniversary for The Lavish Attic

LANG & HEYNE Moritz Triple Calendar No. 53 – Anniversary Watch for 11th anniversary of The Lavish Attic Edition - Unique Piece for Auction Phillips 2024

 Hong Kong Auction 23 - 24 November 2024

Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo is pleased to unveil highlights from the Hong Kong Watch Auction XIX. Comprised of over 200 lots, the sale will showcase a wide range of important timepieces from leading brands and independent makers, reflecting the rich history of watchmaking and its spirit of innovation. This season, Phillips is proud to collaborate with The Lavish Attic, one of the leading retailers in Asia of international independent watch brands, to present unique pieces created by talented watchmakers for this auction.

Before the auction, a selection of sale highlights will go on an international tour, starting in Singapore (17-20 October) before visiting Taipei (2-3 November) and Geneva (6-10 November). The preview will then open in Hong Kong on 16 November, leading up to the live auction on 23 and 24 November at the company’s Asia headquarters in the West Kowloon Cultural District. Before The Hong Kong Watch Auction XIX, TOKI: Watch Auction, a thematic sale dedicated to the Japanese watch collecting world, will take place on 22 November.

Lot 897. Lang & Heyne — A unique, “like-new” and extremely attractive pink gold triple calendar wristwatch with enamel earth disc, small seconds, moon phases, additional special made salmon dial and set of purple hands, certificate and presentation box, made for the 11th Anniversary of The Lavish Attic.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Headquartered in Dresden, Germany, the independent brand Lang & Heyne was founded in 2001 by talented watchmakers Marco Lang and Mirko Heyne. After Heyne departed in the early years, Marco Lang continued to lead the brand until 2019, and the manufacture remains renowned today for its exceptional craftsmanship and distinctive designs. The Moritz was first created in 2005, Numbered 53, the present Moritz made in 2015, was produced under Marco Lang’s leadership and comes with his personally signed certificate and the 2015 hang tags. This piece transcends the typical calendar watch, standing as a remarkable creation in its own right.

At first glance, the colorful enameled sub-dial captures the eye, illustrating a view of Earth from the perspective of Europe and Africa. The watch features a unique complication that reflects the Earth’s relationship with the sun. While the Earth rotates around the sun once per year, it also spins 365 times on its own axis. Due to the Earth’s axial tilt of 23 degrees, the sun’s rays strike at varying angles throughout the year. During the Spring and Fall equinoxes on March 21 and September 21, the Earth’s equatorial line aligns precisely with the center mark of the scale. As we approach the Summer solstice in June, the disc tilts to its extreme left position, aligning the equator with the 23-degree mark, indicating the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Conversely, in December, the disc inclines to the right, reflecting the Southern Hemisphere receiving the sun’s most direct energy.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

This intricate mechanism is powered by the manually wound Caliber III, which incorporates unique features and exquisite finishing techniques, based on a movement construction similar to Caliber I. The hand-engraved signature, beautifully crafted balance cock, snailing on the ratchet wheel, and diamond endstone are truly captivating. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The watch also includes a stopseconds function, allowing for precise time setting, while turning the crown in the second position enables forward or backward adjustments of the date, with the Earth’s disc tilting accordingly. The design is exceptionally legible, featuring elegant moon phases at 6 o’clock, while the day aperture is user-friendly, facilitating easy date reading.

Accessories

Accompanied by Lang & Heyne Certificate dated 12th September 2024, numbered certificate, additional dial and set of hands, instruction manual, product literature, hang tags, fitted presentation box and outer packaging.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Adding to its uniqueness, this watch having been originally created with a silvered dial, boasts a special salmon dial and purple hands, designed for this project celebrating the 11th anniversary of The Lavish Attic. This marks the first time a salmon dial has been produced in the Moritz collection, allowing the owner to switch dials at their pleasure. This presents a unique opportunity to own an exclusive piece from the Marco Lang era, and we are delighted to showcase this monumental collection for the first time in the history of Phillips.

Please note that a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to Albert Hausammann Foundation. The foundation provides financial support to eligible students from regions in Asia for the purpose of training or advancing their skills in the art of watchmaking.

LANG & HEYNE – Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition

LANG & HEYNE Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition - 2024 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO   The Lang & Heyne Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition was specially created to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Sincere Fine Watches.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Commemorating Sincere Fine Watches' 70th Anniversary, Lang & Heyne proudly introduces the Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, limited to 7 pieces. As a valued partner, Lang & Heyne was among the three distinguished manufacturers to launch the inaugural SHH Editions at the opening of Sincere's concept boutique, SHH (Sincere Haute Horlogerie), in Singapore back in 2022. This enduring collaboration is again showcased as Lang & Heyne and Sincere Fine Watches collaborate to present the latest Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

Located in Dresden, Germany, Lang & Heyne is renowned for crafting exquisite timepieces from the finest materials. Each piece exemplifies extraordinary craftsmanship, intricate design, and meticulous attention to detail.

The production process demands exceptional skill and expertise, from constructing movement components, hands, and cases to their refined finishing. Lang & Heyne's dedication ensures unparalleled finesse in both aesthetics and functionality.

The Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition distinguishes itself from the current collection, with its unique dial design. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Unlike the conventional solid silver dials, this edition features a ceramic dial with a sand-blasted royal blue solid silver decorative plate at the center. 

Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The interplay of colors and textures, highlighted by the frosted givree-finished blue center against the smooth white ceramic periphery and seconds subdial, adds depth and character, enhancing the dial's captivating appeal.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition draws striking parallels with the inaugural 👉 Lang & Heyne Georg SHH Edition launched in 2022. It features a similar combination of materials, colours, and finishing techniques on the dial and employs the same three-part dial concept. 

 Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

The seconds subdial, measuring just 0.4 mm thick, sits lower than the main ceramic dial and royal blue silver decorative plate at the center, precisely fitting into the baseplate's recess with sanded outer contours.

Chamfered and polished edges enhance the dial's sophisticated, three-dimensional appearance.

Limited
to 7 pieces, this timepiece pays homage to the Georg SHH Edition while asserting its uniqueness within the collection, making it a fitting tribute to Sincere’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Embodying timeless elegance and refined aesthetics

The harmonious combination of decentralized seconds, numerals, and hands creates a visually pleasing and functional ensemble for the Friedrich III Remontoir. The distinctive trigonal bridge is a standout feature of the Caliber VI-I movement architecture, revealing the meticulously crafted gear train beneath.

The Caliber VI-I movement is distinguished by its exceptional finishing across its components and meticulous hand engraving performed by skilled craftsmen. The baseplate is intricately engraved with 'One of 7', underscoring the exclusivity of the Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition

On the open caseback, Sincere’s 70th Anniversary logo is elegantly engraved on the sapphire glass paying homage to the occasion.

The balance cock features an intricate pattern, meticulously etched to further enhance the aesthetic of the movement.

Remontoir complication

Lang & Heyne watchmakers' dedication to precision and craftsmanship has contributed to the smooth and efficient power transmission of the movement. Positioned beside the escape wheel of the Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition, the remontoir complication provides the visual appeal of the jumping seconds on the dial while effectively regulating and controlling the mainspring, resulting in a consistent transfer of energy across the entire power reserve of the timepiece.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

The Remontoir operates by incorporating an intermediate energy accumulator that is regularly re-tensioned by the movement of the gear train. When the primary energy source – the mainspring, transfers its energy to the watch's wheel chain, the Remontoir's locking mechanism temporarily halts this energy flow, redirecting it into an intermediate spring. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

This intermediate spring then powers the remaining gears up to the escapement, which regulates timekeeping. A control element moving with the gear train activates the locking mechanism at regular intervals, ensuring a steady and precise release of energy. This process not only keeps the watch running smoothly but also results in a jumping seconds display on the dial.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Designed with timeless elegance in mind, the Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition features a dark blue Alligator Mississippiensis leather strap, known for its durability and flexibility. Recognized for its enduring quality, this strap accentuates Lang & Heyne's commitment to authenticity and functionality.

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO 

A fusion of aesthetics is evident in this timepiece, featuring rare cathedral design polished steel hands and a domed crown. 

  Click, to see the large size. BIG FOTO

Reflecting its prestige, the timepiece utilises 18-carat white gold in both the case and the pin buckle – the ideal material to for a prestigious and refined timepiece like the Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition.

The 7-piece limited Lang & Heyne Friedrich III Remontoir Sincere Platinum Jubilee Edition will be available at all Sincere Fine Watches Boutiques with a retail price of SGD$99,690 (including GST).
