Specialist note

With a 44.2 mm. case size, jumping numerals display and a visible chiming mechanism, this watch is truly modern and unique – representing not only a first in horology but also a first for Lange, whose style usually consists of classy, understated dress watches. As is characteristic of Lange, every aspect of the creation of the watch is executed to a high degree of precision – the jumping numerals mechanism always delivers an exact reading of time, advancing instantaneously rather than slowly and gradually. This is achieved using a beautifully hand-finished remontoire, visible through the sapphire case back, which enables a steady flow of power to the balance. Furthermore, a switch at 4 o’clock alternatively activates or deactivates the chiming mechanism (as seen by the two small symmetrical hammers), which when on, chimes every quarter hour and hour with different, crisp and clear sounds.
