Lang & Heyne Georg Steel

Description

Lang & Heyne Georg Steel

A true love story. Georg, Duke of Saxony in the late 1400s/early 1500s, so grieved the loss of his wife Barbara that he grew a beard after her death and wore it to his grave. His act of devotion earned him the pet-title “Georg the Bearded”. After his ascension at the age of 17 he adopted a strict attitude to morality which continued throughout his long reign. His leadership was unswerving, clear and direct during a time of change.

Lang & Heyne’s Georg collection epitomises this uncompromising dedication to clarity through its clean lines and edges, demonstrating the beauty and elegance of a rectangular case on the wrist. The case itself is slightly curved to hug the wrist without compromising its linear appeal. Additional features such as an oversized small second and silky enamel dial set this timepiece far ahead of its peers in both aesthetics and functionality.

The stunning, hand-crafted, in-house Calibre VIII movement is a beauty in its own right. Its open structure showcases the flame-bled screws, golden wheels, diamond feature on the balance and sunken ruby jewels.

In terms of form, design, fit and functionality Georg is one of our absolute favourites and definitely deserves a place in any collection.

The beautiful Georg collection comes in various case materials: massive 18ct rose gold, massive 18ct white gold and 950 platinum and polished stainless steel

Each piece has its own appeal and is very much driven by the style choices of its wearer.

The steel-case adds durability to the many desirable aspects of Georg. Nothing is lost in terms of classicism or functionality but the benefit of steel is that it is less sensitive than softer gold cases. The addition of flame-blued hands set against the pristine, white dial affords a crisp clean look to round out the design. The warm colours of the movement, which can be seen via the generous sapphire exhibition case back, are strikingly framed by the highly-polished, rectangular case. This piece is designed to be worn and enjoyed each day.

Lang & Heyne Craftsmanship

Watch and time merge into a whole, like music and time into a symphony.

From Idea to Drawing

The creation of a watch is akin to a musical composition, where tradition, innovation, and functionality merge into a creative idea. Similar to a conductor shaping a harmonious piece from various tones, we intertwine the proven with the new. Technical sketches serve as the foundation for the masterpiece where beauty and function harmonize. Our watches are like a harmonious orchestra, where each component imparts unique beauty, and the ideal harmony between form and function is sought. Drawings play a crucial role, much like notes in a score, ensuring the exact alignment of form and function. Implementation requires proven technologies and new working methods, comparable to a conductor coordinating the diversity of sounds. Documented processes form the score for quality and consistency, with perfection demanding patience and effort.

Manufacturing of Raw Parts

In watchmaking, raw parts are the foundation for creating masterpieces. The use of 3D design programs allows the design of detailed contours directly transmitted to the machines. Machine operators play a crucial role in programming, tool procurement, and setup. This modern technology enables the production of smaller batches with high precision and versatility.

Flat and frame parts are milled, while rotationally symmetrical parts with bores and millings are created on lathes and machining centers. Additionally, modern processes like laser cutting, wire erosion, and electroplating are used to precisely manufacture two-dimensional parts. This process combines the best of tradition and modernity to create precise and high-quality watch components.

Masterful Finishing

In the world of watchmaking, watches are not just timepieces but considered true works of art. An essential step in the path to completing a watch is the application of various finishing techniques. These techniques combine aesthetics and precision to give each timepiece a distinctive allure.
 
From the fine graining of silvering to intricate circular and sunburst patterns and precise beveling of edges and surfaces, each of these techniques contributes to the beauty, function, and durability of the watch.

Assembly of the Watches

The assembly of a watch is a challenging symphony of precision and masterful skill. Like musicians mastering their instruments, watchmakers fit each component with the utmost accuracy to create a harmonious masterpiece. Every step, from fine-tuning the winding components and movement wheels to the precise adjustment of the escapement, contributes to the perfect melody of the watch. Techniques like the rotating escape wheel allow precise control of the watch’s accuracy. Each component is carefully balanced to ensure harmonious movement—similar to musicians tuning their notes. Finally, watchmakers place the dial and position the hands as the final notes to complete the masterpiece. This symphony of precision, craftsmanship, and passion creates high-quality timepieces that resonate like a timeless melody.

Measuring and Testing

Quality at Lang & Heyne holds a significant position. Every step in the manufacturing process, from careful inspection of raw materials to the final quality control before delivery, undergoes meticulous scrutiny. This ensures that watches exhibit unparalleled quality and refinement. Precise testing, technical control, optical perfection, and the trained eye of watchmakers underscore the commitment to the highest quality and perfection. Even after completion, watches undergo intensive tests to ensure they meet the highest standards of accuracy, functionality, and water resistance. Multiple optical inspections ensure aesthetic excellence. All these aspects vividly demonstrate that quality and craftsmanship at Lang & Heyne are of central importance.
