Lange 1 MP power reserve issue
Hi all,
Just got a Lange 1 moonphase as seen in my incoming thread below..
I bought it brand new from an official retailer and was told that it was factory fresh. However on giving the watch a full wind, I noticed that right now at around 36 hours, the power reserve indicator has already fallen to around a quarter of the capacity.. If its supposed to 72 hours this is a little too fast a drop isn't it?
I'm reluctant to bring it back so soon as they will likely keep it for a while.. Am I being overly anxious? Is there some reason I don't seem to be getting the maximum out of my power reserve?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Lange 1 Power Reserve
Hello, Do not fret, the Lange 1 power reserve system works differently than one would immediately assume. The top indicator as you would assume tells you it is full, the next (lower) indicator denotes that 12 hours of power reserve have been diminished. T...
My experience
Hi Dylan, A year ago I bought a brand new Lange 1 and had a similar problem. In addition, even the date was not changing correctly. I did send it back to the UK AD (I had bought it from Sincere Watches, the AD in Malaysia) who sent it back to Lange for 6 ...
Although I am not 100% sure...
... when you wind it, it will take far longer for the power reserve hand to go up at the beginning and as it passes half, you notice it would move up quite fast..... So, the reverse is true, don't you think? Or, is it more than that? Just my 2 yen. Ken
See the Instruction Booklet
Colton has explained the power reserve indicator perfectly. I am sure that there is nothing wrong with your watch. I believe you can find a description of how the power reserve indication works in the instruction booklet that comes with your watch.
Could you please clearly check the power reserve?
Please fully wind the watch and check the power reserve. Fx
Thank you all..
.. For your responses! I think Colton probably explained it perfectly.. After observing the watch for a further day it has behaved exactly as he explained. It is my fault - have never seen a power reserve like this before and thus it did not cross my mind...

No problem!
That is why we are here and we are so glad to see the new Lange fan start the "new" life with it :-) Enjoy and come back anytime with new photos, new acquisition, or new questions! Best, Ken
