Quick TakeThe Richard Lange "Pour le Mérite" isn't just a watch, it's a mechanical symphony. The fusée-and-chain transmission—a marvel of micro-engineering—ensures every tick is as strong as the last. Its white gold case and black dial are the epitome of understated elegance, while the red accents add a playful wink to those in the know. It's a watch that doesn't shout, it whispers, but the message is clear: this is horology at its finest. A limited edition, it's not just a timepiece, it's a legacy for the discerning collector.

DescriptionThe A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” (260.028) is an exceptional timepiece defined by its fusée-and-chain transmission, a mechanism designed to ensure constant force delivery to the escapement for enhanced accuracy. This intricate system, consisting of a cone-shaped fusée and a delicate chain, counteracts the diminishing torque of the mainspring as it unwinds, thus maintaining consistent amplitude of the balance wheel throughout the power reserve.

Housed in an 18-carat white gold case measuring 40.5 mm in diameter and 10.7 mm in thickness, this limited-edition watch features a black dial crafted from solid silver. The dial design prioritizes legibility with white Roman numerals and rhodium-plated gold hands, while the subtle red accents on the 15, 30, and 45-minute markers add a touch of visual interest. The sapphire crystal case back reveals the meticulously finished manual-winding caliber L044.1, comprising 915 individual parts. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, the movement offers a power reserve of 36 hours.

The Richard Lange “Pour le Mérite” (260.028) is completed by a black alligator leather strap with an 18-carat white gold buckle, further emphasizing the watch's luxurious character. With a water resistance of 3 bar (approximately 30 meters), this timepiece is suitable for everyday wear while remaining a testament to A. Lange & Söhne's commitment to horological innovation and craftsmanship.
