Lang & Heyne Friedrich III Homage Tower Clock SPB 10th Anniversary Edition

Lang & Heyne is proud to announce the release of a special limited edition timepiece, the "Friedrich III Homage Tower Clock SPB 10th Anniversary Edition," in collaboration with an esteemed partner, Swiss Prime Brands. This exclusive edition celebrates Swiss Prime Brands' 10th anniversary and epitomizes the pinnacle of horological artistry and craftsmanship.

A Masterpiece of Horology

The "Friedrich III Homage Tower Clock SPB 10th Anniversary Edition" is a tribute to the original tower clock of the main church in Glashütte, showcasing a remarkable blend of tradition and innovation. This exquisite timepiece features a striking black champlevé enamel dial, meticulously crafted entirely in-house. The champlevé process involves engraving the dial to create recessed areas that are then filled with enamel, resulting in a stunning, durable surface. This dial is not only a testament to our craftsmanship but also to our commitment to producing more than 90% of the movement components in-house.

The watch hands, inspired by the sun and moon motifs from the Glashütte tower clock, are delicately crafted to add a touch of celestial elegance. Additionally, the sun and moon are also finely engraved as mirrored heads in the movement. The engraving "one of 5" is also featured in the movement. Each detail of the "Friedrich III Homage Tower Clock SPB 10th Anniversary Edition" reflects the exceptional quality and precision that Maison Lang & Heyne is renowned for, producing only approximately 150 pieces a year.
