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.

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.

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.

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.
