New for SIHH 2009, The Richard Lange Pour Le Merite.
The RICHARD LANGE “Pour le Merite” is a highly exclusive precision instrument totally dedicated to exact time measurement. This becomes clear first with a glance at the eminently legible, radiant white enamel dial and on closer examination of the elaborate fusee and chain transmission.
The RICHARD LANGE “Pour le Merite” preserves the tradition of scientific pocket chronometers with a fusee and chain mechanism that were crafted at A. Lange&Sohne under the technical super-vision of Richard Lange. That is why it has been named after this progressive watchmaker.
Also, the attribute “Pour le Merite” tells connoisseurs of Lange watch-making artistry that this timepiece ranks among the manufactory’s most outstanding creations: it features refined engineering, a lavishly finished movement, and last, but not least a three-part enamel dial, the result of a complex manufacturing process Before it eventually graces the space beneath the sapphire-crystal glass, each of its three subdials is processed in 30 time-consuming steps, then painted by hand, and finally fired at about 800°C. The reward for this effort is an immaculate, radiant white enamel surface over which the blued-steel lancet-shaped hands hover in perfect contrast.
This A. Lange&Sohne watch also owes its excellent legibility to the crisp design of the minute and seconds scale as well as to the absence of other displays. As was the case in Lange’s legendary pocket chronometers, the dial has been systematically reduced to the elements that serve the purpose of exact time measurement:the indication of hours, minutes, and seconds. A stop-seconds mechanism allows the time to be set with one-second accuracy.
The RICHARD LANGE “Pour le Merite” also lives up to its role as an exclusive precision instrument with noble cases in platinum or 18-carat pink gold. Its 40.5 millimetre diameter befits the personality of a highly legible observation watch just like the antireflection-coated sapphire-crystal glass that protects the valuable enamel dial. The A. Lange&Sohne edition is limited to 50 watches in platinum cases and to 200 in pink-gold cases, and the price of these limited editions are much expensive, visit our Swiss replica watches store, top quality A.Lange&Sohne replica watches are on sale.
