The retro radio is amazing! 😍
Is that a one off or a possible production model?

I think right now it's just a "talking piece" kinda watch like the cheese watch from moser.
But they told me they're thinking about making a series of these but they'll have to make adjustments to make it meet production standards.
Appearantly the case is basically an early prototype and would likely not survive everyday wear.
These are really cool shots. Thank you for sharing them!
Many peoples dream to have that Lange clock at home

Yeah, that one just startled me in that good, goood way! 😂

I hope they do! Or at minimum, use it as a starting-point for something very much like it.
That A. Lange & Söhne is pure class
Did you happen to catch whether the gigantic Datograph has a jumping minute hand or see how the seconds flies back or resets?
I didn't pay too much attention to that to be honest😅
We talked to the watchmaker there and towards the end he also showed us the giant watch. He had a remote control to start, stop and reset the chrono.
The watch also always displayed the correct time and date. I don't specifically recall the minute counter jumping. I wanna say it did, but I'm not sure.
The crono seconds hand did reset relatively quickly; faster than when it's running its chrono function but not super fast, obviously. It's like 1.5m long.
The hands are of course driven by electric motors. The watch movement on the back is an accurate, high quality replica but it's not operational at all.
And the whole thing glows in the dark.
