I am in Germany maybe 10 minutes and the signs of watch insanity are in my face. On my 4 hour layover in Munich to Dresden I am surprised to see that Munich's domestic terminal is basically one big watch store. There is a huge open watch store in the middle with tons of rare brands, and those that you don't even see in America at all, such as Certina and Union Glashutte. There is certainly an air of haute horology already. The first picture is of a magazine and gift store display. They actually highlight their collection of watch magazines! This is just too much good stuff, and I am on my way to being prepared for A. Lange & Sohne's upcoming spectacular display.I spent most of my first day in Glashutte where A. Lange & Sohne is headquartered visiting their factory and seeing some new watches (as well as existing watches). There is so much to admire in this brand in each place I look. Regardless of the snow falling outside, I was warm and excited as I entered each new room of their exclusive manufacture. The brand makes all of their own watch movements, a very difficult feat. This isn't the type of thing just any watch company can pull off. The process takes a long time too, with literally dozens of people working on any watch. So you say their watches can cost as much as a house? They also take as long to built and will last a lot longer. An A. Lange & Sohne watch can take from 6-14 months to be ready for market. This is from the time the individual pieces are put cut from metal, to after all the decorating, andf then final testing is complete. The watch really epitomize the German production ethic. Slow, steady, and correct the first time.I can't show you all the images I took right away. But here are a few from the trip so far. This movement is of an A. Lange & Sohne Double Split Flyback Chronograph. It was attached to a microscope where I could see the movement in operation. It was perhaps of the most beautiful and amazing mechanical visions I have ever seen. There is just so much the naked eye can show you. Viewing it under magnification gives you a whole new appreciation for the craft. In fact, you should know that most of the components of a watch are made and handled under magnification is well. That is the secret to creating such precise levels of perfection. The image above this is of the Lange Tourbillon Pour Le Merite watch getting close to leaving the factory. Perhaps only a fre more weeks of testing. The platinum cased watch still have a special red plastic covering (as seen) to protect it during the rest of the testing period. This was one of the first time I'd handled a platinum watches (arguably the most exclusive of watch metals). Platinum weighs more than gold or steel, so it really feels admirably hefty in your hand. . Check out aBlogtoRead.com and my articles on Luxist.com for the SIHH 2009 A. Lange & Sohne product releases and more information about Glashutte's own master watch maker. Watch out for a lot more pictures and further stories on new A. Lange & Sohne education.

The fourth A. Lange & Sohne "Pour le Merite" watch, an outstanding collector's masterpiece, boasts a fusee-and-chain transmission and a tourbillon with a patented stop-seconds mechanism. Both horological complications improve rate stability and precision. The one-of-a-kind regulator dial of the watch reveals a fascinating pivoting segment. It was inspired by a famous historic highlight of the brand. The creation of the Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" watch is closely related to Johann Heinrich Seyffert (1751-1817), a prominent watchmaker, the one who greatly contributed to the progress of precision horology in Saxony. Seyffert's timepieces enjoyed great success at the royal court and among scientists. The famous explorer and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt was also among the admirers of the watchmaker's creations. He used a Seyffert chronometer during his expedition to South America. According to the explorer's notes, the chronometer provided accuracy to four or five seconds a day. When it was kept stationary, its rate accuracy was even better - to less than one second in 24 hours. Even today, such level of precision is truly impressive. The regulator pocket watch crafted by Heinrich Seyffert in 1807 is worth special attention. The watch is a fine reflection of the watchmaker's quest for horological perfection. It presently belongs to the collection of the Mathematics and Physics Salon in Dresden. The dial of the regulator watch is completed with three intersecting circles for the time indications. The caliber of the watch incorporates a fusee-and-chain mechanism providing the constant transmission of power. The timepiece, bearing the serial number 93, served as the blueprint for the Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" watch. The face of the new A. Lange & Sohne watch demonstrates three overlapping off-centre circles. The biggest is the minute circle. The slightly smaller sub-dials are for the seconds and hours. The dial layout has been inspired by the precision regulators, used since the 18th century for calibration by timekeeping services, observatories and manufactories for synchronizing new timepieces. The round cut-out in the seconds sub-dial is traversed by the minute scale and by the recessed tourbillon bridge. It shows off the tourbillon cage. It is interesting to mention that the tourbillon is presented in its entirety only in the period from 12 to 6 o'clock. At 6 o'clock, the dial segment completed with the Roman numerals VIII, IX, and X instantaneously pivots into the aperture, thus *** the hour scale complete. The ingenious switching mechanism is used to generate this motion. It is responsible for the dial segment to be advanced by 90 degrees in increments of six hours. It means that the timepiece tells the time unambiguously during the morning and the evening hours.At 12 o'clock, the hours dial segment instantaneously vanishes and the tourbillon is exposed in all its beauty for the six hours to come. With help of a patented stop-seconds mechanism, it is possible to simply halt the tourbillon by pulling the crown, so the time can be set to one-second accuracy. On the case-back side, the tourbillon is found in a diamond endstone secured in a screwed gold chaton. The same noble setting highlighted the iconic Lange pocket watches relevant to the manufactory's highly-esteemed "1A" quality category. The unique fusee-and-chain transmission, a smart implementation of the principle of levers, is responsible for equalizing the gradually waning force of the mainspring and maintaining the effective torque, this way also maintaining the constant amplitude of the balance, during all 36 hours of the power-reserve. The planetary gearing makes this constant force delivery kept with no interruption even when the timepiece is being wound. The heart of the Pour le Merite watch, the novel hand-finished Lange manufacture calibre L072.1, 33.6mm in diameter, with a frequency of six semi-oscillations per second, a classic screw balance, and a recalculated balance spring, is synonymous to the utmost in precision. The exceptional A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Merite" watch features a stately platinum or pink-gold case that measures 41.9mm in diameter. It is coupled with a hand-stitched crocodile strap.The platinum version of the timepiece is strictly limited to 100 pieces.
