[lanatir]

Similar to my other watch shots in style and lighting but I cannot resist sharing these with you in reflection of my enjoyment of shooting such a thing of beauty!

Fyi, Dornblüth & Sohn is a father and son operation in Germany. Their production numbers are very low annually and this particular piece uses a vintage Glashutte movement which they refurbished and decorated.

With minute repeater? You did not happen to buy one, did you Lanatir? How much do one of these beauties cost?

Oops, too many questions. Your usual style is all good...but this time round it seems there's a little overexposure? Either that or my monitor is acting up..

[lanatir]

this is not a minute repeater. thanks :)

overexposure? looks fine to me

[qqmeng]

wow! ...how much is tht beauty cost you?:0

[lanatir]

it's not mine wor... but it's very good value for something so finely made!

[ckchowov]

I see some blue in #2 and #3, purposely?

[lanatir]

chow, that is blued steel... steel that is heated until it changes colour. the screws u see on the movement are also blued steel. it's normally very hard to capture in photos

Nice series lanatir.. Good lighting man.. Really makes the watch look nice

[lanatir]

thanks ming... watches like this are very photogenic so i don't have to do much

[alancheong7]

Very very nice, mouth watering :D
Thanks, lanatir.

Is this Sohn the same Sohn as A Lange Sohn or something like that?

[lanatir]

Sohn/Sohne... german for son/sons...

For this, it's Dornbluth and Son.

Same as Lange... A Lange Uhn Sohne (Lange and Sons)

As always, good stuff. Blued steel is sooo sexayyy.

[lanatir]

thanks... there are also some crazy variations like purple steel. the latter is very difficult to achieve only through insane temperature control
