i had the same exact problem....

i had the same exact scenario. the power reserve fell to ab after pulling out the crown, i sent it to alkis in nyc, got it back 4 weeks later just for the problem to recur after about a month. i was fuming, and called the factory in germany, and was refered back to alkis, who, after a thourough explanation of the recurrent nature of the problem has fixed the problem. he explained to me that the replaced the power reserve module. no problems since (for over 1 year). hope this puts your mind at ease that the problem can be fixed.
regards,
carsten

Lange 1 troubles

Just today, my Lange 1 went on the fritz again...I was pulling out the crown to reset the time after winding it up from empty. The power reserve then snapped from full to empty. After talking to Alkis on the phone, I had to ship it back to him for repairs... 

Hmm sad to hear ...

Thanks for all the feedback...I actually feel a little bit better after reading carsten's experience, so I know Alkis isn't tackling a unique problem. Hopefully it'll be the last time I'll have this issue. I guess I can follow Edwin's lead and not wind it... 

To be honest ...
