Finishing Engraving

Watch connoisseurs can identify an A. Lange Söhne movement at first sight. Each component is decorated with its own specific type of finissage, whether or not it is visible through the sapphirecrystal caseback. No matter how small it might be, each part must comply with rigorous artisanal and aesthetic standards. It takes several months of practice just to perfectly execute a flat polished finish, while in chamfering, great emphasis is placed on assuring that the edges are not only bevelled to the same angle but also to the same width. A special type of finish is reserved for the balance cock: it is engraved with the Langestyle floral pattern that makes each Lange watch unique.
