A. Lange & Söhne

We already know that it is a great watch. But is it perfect? Answer soon!

This is the only offering that has the highest chances of derailing my plans to acquire the 1815 Chronograph Boutique Edition! Thanks Fx!

Is it a new way of demonstrating a manufacturer's technical innovation and excellence, like tourbillon?

From the limited knowledge I have, it's not the jumping seconds (seconde morte) that makes it interesting. It's the clever use of the constant force mechanism (Remontoire d'égalité) to drive the jumping seconds, instead of separate gearing, that is making this really interesting.

This is the watch that most intrigues me-and the one that changed my mind about hoping Lange came up with nothing new this year ;-)))

Adding in a tourbillon to an already complicated watch is commendable, but doesn't fall into the "ingenious" category. Neither do adding a moon phase to existing models. But thankfully, this particular Richard Lange ticks all our mental boxes

This is a very nice "regulator", and a very nice watch and layout in general.

Eg the clickspring of the barrel, or a clearer view of the rementoir. The top half feels a little too plain compared to the intricate reset mechanism near the balance wheel
