Beyond the Superlative: Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" Handwerkskunst
The fourth "Pour le Merite" timepiece presented by A. Lange & Söhne in a limited 15- watch edition is a manifestation of artisanal virtuosity at the highest level. The case in honey-coloured gold accommodates two complications - a fusee-and-chain transmission and a tourbillon - both designed explicitly to achieve the highest degree of precision.

It was only last January at the Watch Salon in Geneva that the Saxon manufactory showcased its Richard Lange Tourbillon with the distinction "Pour le Merite". So far at Lange, this hallmark has been reserved for four exceptionally complicated watches endowed with the unique fusee-and-chain transmission. The ingenious mechanism assures that the going train is driven with a constant force across the entire power reserve duration, keeping the rate accuracy of the watch stable.
Inspired by a historic predecessor, this regulator takes horological artistry to a new level that merits the attribute "Handwerkskunst": With exquisite dial and movement decorations, the Saxon masters demonstrate impressive new facets of traditional craftsmanship. Concurrently, the case in honey-coloured gold stands for the brand's firm resolve to leverage technological progress in the interest of the discerning owners of Lange watches. With a Vickers hardness of over 300 HV, the innovative gold alloy is about twice as hard as yellow gold.
Crafted from the same material, the dial is decorated with a so-called tremblage. This is the name of a traditional engraving technique in which a lining burin is guided over the material with an orbital motion in eight different directions. The result is a delicate granular texture that resembles a three-dimensional satin finish. Its complement is the radiant solarisation on the three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, which can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback. Finally, the fourth-wheel bridge is embellished with an elaborate relief engraving. Contrary to the more common intaglio engraving, this technique is used to sculpt the motif out of the material, in effect raising it from the background.

The miniature masterpiece is subsequently crowned with a diamond endstone that functions as a bearing for the tourbillon. Its patented stop seconds mechanism allows the watch to be set with one-second accuracy. A round aperture in the regulator dial exposes the system, which revolves and oscillates at the same time. To prolong the duration of the delightful mechanical ballet for the observer, the adjacent hour dial features a cutaway portion. But precisely at 6 o'clock, the missing segment pivots into place and completes the hour ring until it instantly vanishes again exactly at 12 o'clock. This extraordinary collector's item is limited to 15 pieces that are available exclusively at the five A. Lange & Söhne boutiques in Dresden, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong.

WORLDTEMPUS - 1 February 2011

This edition of the SIHH was A. Lange & Söhne's tenth year of participation, and if truth be told it did indeed also represent a juncture that new CEO Wilhelm Schmid termed, "a new phase of the brand." This new phase can not only be chalked up to the arrival of the new man from BMW, but also to a new complication - one the modern incarnation of the company had not yet tackled.

Long Wait
Any brand aspiring to the tip of the horological pyramid must include a repeating movement in its repertoire; this is a given. And it is the one complication A. Lange & Söhne had not yet introduced to its modern wristwatches, though the arrival of technical director Anthonie de Haas in 2004 perhaps heralded it.
De Haas, a specialist in repeating mechanisms, explained during the SIHH that the Lange Zeitwerk - first introduced in May 2009 - yielded the perfect platform. Its disks providing the "digital" time needed more energy than a conventional time display, so a movement with an extra-strength mainspring and a type of constant force device was conceived by Lange's clever engineers. Manually wound Caliber L043.1/2, by the way, also had enough energy left over for further complications - providing an excellent opportunity to use experience gained in the restoration of grande complication pocket watch no. 42500 to add a chiming function to it. What better platform could there have been for introducing a new era.

Chime Time
To accommodate the en passant quarter and hour strike, the Zeitwerk's case diameter has increased from 41.9 mm to 44.2 mm. The Lange Zeitwerk's one-piece, in-house gongs and hammers are visible right on the dial. The hammers' motion can be precisely timed thanks to the digital display of the hours and minutes inherent to the Lange Zeitwerk. A button located at 4 o'clock on the case can turn the sound off if so desired. Pressing it lifts the hammers out of their miniscule dial recesses and away from the gongs, locking them into place until the button is pressed again. The gongs are secured to the case band for added resonance, with the quarter hours' strike easily discernible from the "bong" at the top of the hour thanks to its higher pitch.
The Lange Zeitwerk Striking Time will be available in an unlimited white gold case with black dial and in a platinum case with a rhodium-plated dial that is strictly limited to 100 pieces.
