RobbieG Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 I found this and had never seen it, maybe others have but I thought I would share it. Someone was mentioning something in that Patek thread about the Lange & Sohne balance [censored] engraving. There are some cool images of that process in this video...

redwatch Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 That is very very cool! I can't even imaging the skills required to hand engrave such a small piece with such detail and precision! Gives one a whole new respect for the work involved in making such a fine timepiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krpster Posted July 17, 2010 Report Share Posted July 17, 2010 That is amazing! I can't even imagine how steady your hand needs to be to do that. The degree of sensitivity...surgeon level I would think. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
