Lang & Heyne Anton Flying Tourbillon Manufaktur Edition
A stunning limited collection comprising only 5 exquisite timepieces, honouring exceptional craftsmanship and innovation, and marking the pinnacle of the Anton family.
“FLYING” TOURBILLON WITH A TWIST
A unique “flying” tourbillon sits freely in its own space, providing a fascinating view into the heart of the tourbillon mechanism. Enhanced anchor components and a modified shockproof spring, elevate the precision of the one-minute tourbillon adhering to the design language of Alfred Helwig (Glashuette watchmaker who invented the flying tourbillon).\
DIAL INNOVATION
The captivating dial combines polished, black ceramic and a matted, dark grey/anthracite, givre-finished base plate which accentuates the beauty of the dial. The use of ceramic, known for its pressure-resistance and low-specific-density properties, significantly contributes to the scratch resistance of the dial, ensuring a robust and elegant look.
ONION CROWN WITH ONYX STONE
The black onyx stone caps off the crown to accentuate the elegance of the Grand Onion design, and represents another highlight of the sophisticated style of this collection.
ENGRAVED EXCLUSIVITY
Each of the five timepieces proudly bears the engraving “Manufaktur Edition” along with “1/5”,emphasizing the exclusivity of this limited edition.
“FLYING” TOURBILLON WITH A TWIST
The term “flying” tourbillon gains new meaning as the lower section of the dial opens up, offering a unique perspective of this fascinating horological complication. As the wearer looks through the dial, past the tourbillon cage, it is possible to capture a lateral glimpse into the heart of the tourbillon itself. The subtle flange or rehaut functions as a mirror, enabling enthusiasts to admire the intricate mechanics and finesse of the tourbillon. This refined design element elevates visual allure and exploration, encapsulating innovation fused with a deep reverence for horological craftsmanship.
TOURBILLON REFINEMENTS
Lang & Heyne’s tourbillon undergoes notable enhancements, showcasing constructive refinements in its construction. This “flying” one-minute tourbillon, inspired by Alfred Helwig’s original design, boasts exceptional craftsmanship. Modifications include improving the shockproof spring and anchor components, aiming to enhance precision. The anchor, now comprising two bodies, enables finer adjustments, while the redesigned shockproof spring ensures easier mounting without the risk of damage. 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. Precisely crafted, a black ceramic dial elegantly adorns a dark grey givre-finished base plate. This exceptional composition radiates sophistication and mirrors Lang & Heyne’s mastery in advanced materials. The characteristics of ceramic contribute significantly to scratch resistance, ensuring a durable and intricately detailed dial, a testament to Lang & Heyne’s commitment to innovative horological artistry.
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 elegance and classic features of haute horological masterpieces. This artistic integration not only accentuates elegance and sophisticated style but also underscores the uniqueness and exclusivity of these exceptional timepieces.
ENGRAVED EXCLUSIVITY
Each of the five timepieces proudly bears the “Manufaktur Edition” engraving, along with “1/5,” (then in serial) emphasizing the exclusivity and highly limited nature of these Anton watches. The engraving is meticulously handcrafted on the movement, showcasing Lang & Heyne’s commitment to precision and pursuit of perfection.

Tourbillon
For more than 200 years, the tourbillon has been a symbol of horological craftsmanship. The interpretation by the Saxon watchmaking school in the first half of the 20th century, with a “flying” carriage, meaning a single-sided construction, brought this mechanism to maturity.
The tourbillon of Lang & Heyne follows this tradition, being lightweight and elegant due to its extremely delicate cage. Its finesse and lightness reduce the additional energy required and, at the same time, minimize the sensitivity to shocks of the mechanism.
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.
