Lang & Heyne Anton Steel (black dial)

Description

Lang & Heyne Anton Steel black dial

King Anton ruled Saxony in the early 1800s despite never being destined for the throne. As fifth-born, he came to power in middle age and proceeded to rule with tolerance and a delicate understanding of power balance during times of revolution and upheaval. This earned him the title of Anton ‘the kind’ – an unexpected treasure who served his people well. The Anton Tourbillon was created with this noble heritage through the skilled workmanship of master watchmakers trained in the art of horological design and construction. A Lang & Heyne watch is always a small piece of magic and the Tourbillon Anton is no exception with its filigree detail and high precision.

For over 200 years the tourbillon has served as a symbol of mastery in the world of horology so it is only natural that the master watchmakers at Lang & Heyne committed themselves to meeting this industry benchmark. During the first half of the 20th century, the tourbillon complication was enhanced by the Saxon School of Watchmaking with their interpretation of the side-mounted, ‘flying’ carousel. Lang & Heyne’s Tourbillon embraces this concept in the stunning rectangular Anton. The lightweight, delicate nature of the Tourbillon cage reduces the power demand and shock sensitivity of the mechanism, rendering the movement more functional and reliable.

The beauty of the rectangular calibre with its spectacular bar-movement and chatoned, double-diamond, end stone crowns is further enhanced by the opening on the “Grand Feu” enamel dial for the delicate tourbillon cage. Whether set in a solid, 18ct rose gold, stainless steel, or Grade 5 platinum case the Anton Tourbillon is both a joy to wear and a beauty to behold – the perfect balance of functionality and form.

This exceptional timepiece highlights the mastery of Lang & Heyne’s watchmakers, combining the tourbillon complication with the striking visual balance of a black dial. It is a sophisticated expression of tradition and innovation, making it a standout addition to any discerning collection.

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.

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.
