L951 remains undefeated



Decades later, still remains one of the most beautiful movements. Truly is a “city back there”. Can anything top this?

I’d say the closest competitor is the gronograaf

I prefer the 2941 where chronograph is concerned. Beautiful hand-finishing in a 38.6mm package. Both Gael and Florian previously worked at Lange.

Look at the finishing of Jules Audemars Grande Complication here. It can only be by hand (by Renaud & Papi?)
