A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Calendar
This drawing features the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual Calendar. Despite its smaller scale, the piece is dense with detail, from the intricate dial and writing to the textured leather strap. The composition balances methodical layering with moments of spontaneity, letting tonal shifts and contrast establish depth and rhythm across the drawing.
Careful attention was given to the moonphase, subdials, and markers, with fine graphite work revealing subtle textures and reflections. Even at this scale, every element was rendered with precision. A magnifying glass was used to capture the intricate details that give the watch its character and presence.
