I'm lucky enough to own an 1815 Up/Down, and it really is a work of art. Even when I'm not wearing it, I'll take it out of the case and hold it under a light with a loupe, and I can spend a lot of time just trying to take in every detail. It's incredible.
This is an honor and a privilege to be able to see others do the fine methodical works of fine finishing, for us it is pleasing and very relaxing to do this work each day. Thank you for sharing it, Lance & Patrick.
Art. This is why the watch is worth what it costs. Why do people pay millions for Picasso? In the end it's just some paint on paper. You don't buy this to tell time. It's art.
Its some sort of "cutter" whether its a tiny "end mill" or an "abrasive cutter" aka "grinder" It's cutting tiny "chips" which are the "swarf" that end up around the "machined" area. Google "perlage" or "engine turning" tools and you'll probably find out. My guess is that its a tiny mill but I'm going to Google it and see how good of a guesser I am.
There was no need for that comment. Lange makes beautiful pieces. That is a fact. Maybe you like Swiss companies more, I don't know, but there's no need to say that it's not as good as a Swiss watch. Because in my opinion, Lange makes the most beautiful movements of all companies.
I can't be the only one who'd love to see a real time build of a A. Lange & Söhne, surely?

unbelievable out of this world quality.
A. Lange is the Best.
I just love that video. So incredibly well-made.
I've never seen the laying down of perlage, that was cool.

Yes, finally someone who understands it...
Thank you.
I need one of these in my life! Of course it’s not important but it’s beautiful!
Amazing why dont you make a long video so we can enjoy for an hour at least...?

Astonishing craftsmanship!
Incredible!
Amazing polishing!
Amazing
This is one of the most satisfying things I've ever watched. (See what I did there?)
Superb.
Anyone know what that thing on the drill press was to make the circle patterns on the movement (1:48)
it looks like some sort of sanding sponge, probably made for the purpose

Vostok Amphibia is decorated with a scuba dude. Beat that!
If they keep working with this much dedication, they might one day match the artistry of Daniel Wellington.

Almost as good as a Swiss watch
You're trolling, right? Almost as good, meaning "blows basically every equivalently priced swiss watch out of the fuckin' water."
