Additionally, this year the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York has created a special public art installation called “A Moment in Time.” The exhibit, created by design students at SVA, features 16 different six-foot-tall (or wide) watch sculptures that commemorate certain moments.

It’s filigree and yet rocky in a way few movements with ~700 components are. All the components appear to have substantial quantity to them, almost begging the question why so many different moves we view incorporate fragile-looking little springs and cams inside their design. The Tourbograph resembles a beautifully decorated machine that dwarfs other movements.Hidden deep within the bowels of the L133.1 is a fusée and string transmission system, designed to ensure a more even delivery of torque as the mainspring unwinds over its brief, 36-hour power book — 36 hours is indeed brief, but a shorter than average power book isn’t exactly unusual among such exceptionally complicated moves. The chain itself is 636 components, but Lange counts it as you (yes, one) component from the 684 part count of this movement itself.On the wrist, the 43mm-wide and whopping 16.6mm-thick platinum case is a hefty, hefty monster. It wears fine, but the weight of the case as well as the ~1,400 components inside it can make for one very heavy watch. Weapons grade, I believe is the word. Few watches make me feel invincible, but this one did in its own odd way — as it, in all fairness, is a fragile thing.
