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.

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.

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

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.

This “flying” one-minute tourbillon, inspired by Alfred Helwig’s design, boasts exceptional craftsmanship. Modifications include improving the shockproof spring and anchor components, aiming to enhance precision.

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.

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".

LANG & HEYNE – Friedrich II Remontoir The Lavish Attic Edition

LANG & HEYNE – Friedrich II Remontoir The Lavish Attic Edition 2022

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

In May 2022, the Friedrich II Remontoir Prototype “00” is sold for HK$819,000. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

It is the first time in its history; LANG & HEYNE has developed and manufactured an unique timepiece in collaboration with PHILLIPS and long-term partner THE LAVISH ATTIC.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO   

The year of 2022 celebrates the 9 years of partnership between THE LAVISH ATTIC and LANG & HEYNE.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Based on the same Calibre VI-I, limited edition of 9 pieces Friedrich II Remontoir The Lavish Attic Edition is proudly launched and opened for pre-order.

1. The first-ever black enamel dial, made in a different way

The face of the Friedrich II Remontoir is created by a two-part enamel dial. A new state-of-the-art technology gives the possibility to cut massive enamel in slices. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Thus, the idea was born to fix two of these discs on a metal support, thus obtaining an enamel dial with a lower small second. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Since the highly polished discs cannot be burned again, they are printed with high-quality varnish and the indexes are hand-lined with superluminova.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The lancet hands indicate the time extremely accurate and are easy to read even by night thanks to their superluminova filling.

2.The first-ever Remontoir found in small second

Underneath the dial a newly developed Remontoir movement, the calibre Cal. VI-I. is responsible for the accurate display of the time. It is equipped with a complicated mechanism to improve accuracy, the Remontoir. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

This so-called “constant force mechanism” compensates for the decreasing force of the tension spring. Its energy tensions a storage spring every five semi-oscillations, which constantly transmits its power to the escapement. 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

This keeps the amplitude of the balance wheel constant throughout the day, minimizing rate fluctuations.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The Remontoir of Cal. VI-I is located on the escape wheel and is responsible for the jump of the small second hand every second and fulfills its function at least for 24 hours.

3.The first-ever movement made of titanium

Underneath the dial a newly developed Remontoir movement, the caliber LANG & HEYNE Cal. VI-I, is responsible for the accurate display of the time. Through the sapphire glass case back it is obvious, that the main parts of the movement were manufactured of an entire new material – titanium. Commonly used for manufacturing cases, it has found its way into an unusual use.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

The use of titanium has presented entirely new challenges to the master watchmakers of LANG & HEYNE. In order to meet the very high demands on the quality of the technology but also on the aesthetics, it was necessary to adapt and modify traditional skills and processes.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

Medium-hard titanium of purity grade 2 is used to manufacture the movement plate, gear bridge, lever bridge and balance cock. To create a matte sheen, the graining is achieved by blasting with ceramic beads which, unlike glass beads, do not shatter when they hit the material. 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

For brass frame parts, the polished chamfers are then pressed on with the smoothing steel. This is not possible with titanium. It has unfavorable friction behavior, which would cause the spinning tool to leave cracks. So here the chamfers have to be polished very laboriously with wood and polishing paste.

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

The poor behavior under friction also forces a different design for the bearings of all parts that were previously supported in the brass of the plate. Thus, separate bronze bearings are used for the barrel and winding stem. 

 

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO  

All other assembly steps can be performed in the same way as with conventional plates, line grindings are easily feasible and hand engravings are also possible. Thus, the balance cock also retains its beautiful classic design. Technically, titanium offers greater strength and corrosion resistance, making it an interesting asset to the movement.

 Click, to see the large size. ▶ BIG FOTO 

For aesthetic reasons, the otherwise blue annealed screws were replaced with purple ones to match the warm gray of the titanium.
