Description
The Richard Lange Pour le Mérite appears ordinary at first for its simple dial composition of only the hours, minutes and small seconds, however upon close inspection, one would discover the details that lie within its complicated mechanisms. Consisting of 915 individual components, the present watch incorporates a "fusée and chain" movement, a complication which ensures a constant energy distribution from the barrel, regardless if it is fully wound or not. The fusée and chain mechanism is rarely implemented into wristwatches, and in true A. Lange & Söhne fashion, these fine movements are exposed on the sapphire crystal display back, making the present watch highly exclusive and collectible.
The watch is in new and excellent condition. The movement is running at the time of cataloging, however, it was not tested for the accuracy of time or duration of the power reserve and may need service at the buyer's discretion. Please note that Sotheby's does not guarantee the future working of the movement.
