It is running and setting and was serviced 10years ago, so it will likely need another cleaning. It has been in my safety deposit box for the last several years. Happy to send videos of the watch running and setting the time. No guarantee of future performance in terms of +/- seconds per day as the watch is an antique. I own several other Lange's and Jules Jurgensen pocket watches and they all run well as I carry them regularly.
The art of balance-cock engraving (pictured) dates back to the early 20th century when A Lange & Söhne was in the practice of building grade “1A” pocket watches. No other major watch manufacturer puts as much effort into the balance cock as Lange. A group of six master engravers works on each piece and completes five to 10 custom engravings per month, plus an additional few dozen totally original, but non-custom engravings, usually in a floral pattern. Every Lange owner could visit the manufacturer to meet the man or woman who personally engraved his/her watch’s balance cock, knowing that the timepiece in question, like every other one made by A Lange & Söhne, is unique.
***I have references as a seller with the most recent being George and Anthony at Watch u Want in Florida.
