So it’s time for something completely different now! It’s weekend for us and probably most of our readers. Today we present you an easy to digest article. Going through our vast photo archive, we dug up the watch macro photo A to Z. Some unpublished material or re-editited images. Taking a few detours to fill in the few missing brand names in the alphabet. Maybe an interesting quest for the upcoming Baselworld fair.

Kicking it off with the A for A. Lange & Söhne. We didn’t want to zoom in too much as there is so much going on for this Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.

B for Blancpain L-Evolution Tourbillon Carrousel, limited to 50 pieces. Note the crazy little details on the shock absorber!

C is for Cabestan and the Dragon Nera. If the movement that is constructed of over 900 parts isn’t impressive enough by itself already, the handcrafted dragon guard sure is.
