Description

The RICHARD LANGE collection are a tribute to the 19th and 20th centuries Lange observation watches built for scientific purpose and requiring ultimate precision and legibility, inspired by these high standards that the modern versions are made to perpetuate the tradition. 

This A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds – has a 39.9mm case in rose gold surrounding a beautiful silver dial with fantastic features • The hours are shown at 8 o’clock on a disc with roman numerals with a lovely gold hand while the minutes are on the opposite side with the quarters in red and a gold hand to indicate it precisely • Between these two discs, a little triangle indicates the power-reserve of 42-hours • When it becomes red, it’s a reminder for the owner that only 10-hours of power left • But the attention goes to the large seconds counter that takes the main space on this dial, with an elegant blue hand indicating clearly the jumping (dead) seconds.
A manual winding movement makes all this possible and is visible through the sapphire case-back.

A.Lange & Sohne – bio

Founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Germany.  The company soon became the pioneers in watchmaking in their region.  After Ferdinand’s death his sons, Emil and Richard continued to produce the finest pocket watches of their time.
During World War II, they were victims of bombardments and eventually even got nationalised by the Soviet administration and ceased to exist. At the fall of the Berlin wall in 1990, the grand son of the founder, Walter Lange, revived the company with the help of Swiss watch manufacturers such as IWC & Jaeger-LeCoultre.   The brand introduced their new collection in 1994 with success and by 2000 the company got acquired by the Richemont Group.
