A quick view on the 160 Anniversary

I have to admit that we don't often speak about this very special watch. And I don't get why, as all in this watch is so special. The first visible impressive thing is , of course, the shape of the case, which are revealed by its uncommon dimensions: 43 x...
Great finishings, interesting caliber...

But I'm not convinced by some details, especially the two dates on the dial and a "lack" of simplicity I would like to see in a marine chronometer. Thanks Nicolas for the review. Fr.Xavier

I know I'm only seeing the pictures, but it looks like the cock that holds one of the escapement wheels is basically unfinished, no anglage and rough surface. In your second-to-last pic, it's the one protruding up from the balance wheel bridge. What's it ...
Ahh, but

I wasn't comparing the UN finish to A. Lange, I was comparing the finish on the escape wheel cock to the upper bridges. It appears that the upper bridges have much finer stripes and anglage, whereas the lower cock doesn't A
