watches for a living. What I admire
about the caliber L044.1,is the ability
to execute such a complex movement.
Helmut Geyer,the senior caliber designer
behind this wonderful movement at A. Lange & Sohne. Did the impossible,by combining early
watchmaking techniques of utilizing the fusee
and chain. Which were used in the 1400 to the
early 19th Century and incorporating with the
21st Century.
No words, can describe the shear brillance
of Geyer's design. I'm still speechless as I'm
writing this post.
In answering the question if I was building
a fusee-and-chain movement. The answer
is no. However, I do have my eyes set
on an English Lever-Fusee dating to 1890.
This movement was much more accurate
than the earlier Verge-Fusee which dates
to the 15th Century until the mid-18th Century.
