A. Lange & Söhne - Double Split


Another of A. Lange & Söhne's über-movement watches is the Double Split. The depth of this calibre is extraordinary, and can best be appreciated in the video link below. I was so infatuated by the back for so long that it took me a while to actually notice it is incredibly beautiful from the front too.

Breguet - Classique Grande Complication Tourbillon 5317


The first time I saw this watch was at The Hour Glass in Sydney, and as I approached the unattended display cabinet I was thrilled to see that it was actually running. The otherwise interruptive opening in the dial became a window into the living heartbeat of the watch, beautifully displaying the mesmerising movement of the tourbillon. It's amazing how different it is to experience a time piece actually in action compared to sitting there lifeless.
