THE MAGIC OF SCREWED GOLD CHATONS.

Screwed gold chatons contribute essentially to the beauty of a Lange movement. The combination of gold chatons, ruby-red jewels, and blued screws orchestrates seductive accents against the regular backdrop of the Glashütte ribbing on the plates and bridges.

In the old days, screwed gold chatons were used only in the finest mechanical watches. They allowed the replacement of damaged jewels without necessitating changes to the boreholes in the move-ment plates. Later, when jewels were standardised, gold chatons no longer played a decisive functional role, but their tradition and sheer beauty justify the preservation of these elements.
