I present to you one very interesting exemplar of a brand Lange & Sohne, one of the best watchmakers in the world, impressive dial, the case is in mirror clean condition, we can date this watch with very good precision, the watch is made in year 1912, this means that the watch is nearly 108 years old and it is still in very good working condition, just has been serviced by professional watchmaker and work very accurate. In full winding, the watch works for about 31 - 32 hours.
This watch was wind up over 15 times and it works until completion of the entire course of the mainspring, so I can confirm that watch runs very precise and showed no defects.
This watch looks and works very well, I think that every collector would love to own it, or can be a very good present.
Now I will divide this watch to categories.

The case:

Solid gold case (18k) of this watch is in very clean condition, there are no dents or scratches on the case and cover, for sure there are no serious injuries from dropping or impact.
Very tight and pretty covers, like the watch, just coming out from the factory.
The glass is absolutely no scratches on it and it is real hunter glass what it should be.
On the inside cover on a gold case, there are inscriptions (FIRST BIG ONE) "LANGE & SOHNE - GLASHUTTE" "0.750” stamp "CROWN" shows us that the purity of gold 0.750, 18K and serial number.
on the inside cover (DUST COVER, SECOND ONE) there are inscriptions stamp "CROWN" shows us that the purity of gold 0.750, 18K and serial number.
The crown is in a solid gold case, very tight perfect working order, the bow is very tight also perfect condition.
EACH AND EVERY ELEMENT OF THIS POCKET WATCH HAS A STAMP FOR 18k"0.750" SOLID GOLD.

The movement:

I can safely say is rarely seen as a well-preserved LANGE & SOHNE - ¾ PLATE MOVEMENT.
THIS MOVEMENT IS VERY RARE IN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CONDITION
an impressive and incredible manual movement of the LANGE & SOHNE. It is really hard to believe what they have achieved with this movement, all the components inside were carefully considered and planned to create this wonderful masterpiece.
The movement had been completely cleaned and oiled, it works very good and has been tested for a short period of time and shows very good results.
To clean it every one part was disassembled, cleaned and oiled, then placed back very precisely.
The watch movement running slow for about 10 - 20 seconds for every 24 hours which is a very good achievement.
For that time a well-working pocket watch gave a difference of 2 - 3 minutes in 24 hours, as watches have been adjusted every day.
The balance running very strong with 18,000 BPH per hour, absolutely perfect condition.
That movement has 20 Jewels, this means that the movement has 20 precious stones (20 rubies - diamonds), the stones are on the places where it is large friction in order to protect the metal from abrasion.
Inscriptions on the movement are: "A. LANGE & SOHNE" "GLASHUTTE - DRESDEN".
The serial number of the movement is: 64733


The dial:

It has Arabic numerals, black numbers on a white background, Very beautiful dial.
The dial is in perfect condition with no damages and no visible cracks on it.
The subs-dial has Arabic numerals too, also very clean condition.
There are no fingerprints on the dial.
Inscription on the dial: A. Lange & Sohne
