The ever-popular RICHARD LANGE JUMPING SECONDS from A. Lange & Söhne is now available in white gold in a limited edition of just 100 pieces.
The timepiece combines technical precision with individual elegance. Nine years after the launch of the original, it continues to establish benchmarks in rate accuracy and legibility, with its unique fusion of constant-force escapement, jumping seconds and ZERO-RESET mechanism.
In the latest model, the warm hue of the dial in 750 pink gold contrasts crisply with the cool radiance of the white-gold case, endowing the new edition with a distinctive personality.
The spotlight is on the smallest of the three units of time, the seconds. The largest of three time circles is allocated to the seconds while the two smaller ones, positioned below on the left and right, indicate the hours and minutes. Additionally, a triangular indication at the intersection between the hour and minute circles switches to red 10 hours before the power reserve is depleted, thus delivering a reminder to rewind the watch, which has a 42-hour power reserve.
Beneath the dial of the RICHARD LANGE JUMPING SECONDS, three game-changing mechanisms interact, their respective functions perfectly complementing each other.
The constant-force escapement assures that the watch is powered with a constant force during the entire power reserve, resulting in superior rate accuracy. To supply the required energy, an impulse is generated every second. This impulse is also used for the jump of the seconds, exactly 60 times per minute.
The ZERO-RESET mechanism is equipped with a multi-disc clutch: when the crown is pulled, the seconds hand instantly jumps to the zero position, making time setting with one-second accuracy possible.
The choreography of the trinity of mechanisms can be admired through the sapphire-crystal caseback.
The dimensions of the RICHARD LANGE JUMPING SECONDS remain unchanged. The case diameter of 39.9mm and the height of 10.6mm are a manifestation of its harmonious proportions. This timepiece is the fourth model version of the RICHARD LANGE JUMPING SECONDS, and the fourth Lange watch show-casing a pink-gold dial. It is complemented with a dark-brown leather strap and a 750 white-gold prong buckle.
