a lange & sohne glashutte cal. 380

is really crazy about his yet to be delivered A. Lange & Soehne wristwatch, at least his S-line A6 shows this….In the meanwhile, as long as the man in the brown truck doesn’t show up, he could re-read the that SteveG wrote.

A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange ReferenzuhrJust like the recently unveiled Glashutte Original Strasser & Rohde Regulator watch, the new A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Referenzuhr model’s selling point is the historical connotations that date back to the 19th century, when high-precision pocket watches were used to distribute right time from the timekeeping service of the Mathematics and Physics Salon to public clocks at railway stations and these sort of installations where time was no just money, but also — safety.Equipped with the just introduced Lange L033.1 manual-wind movement, the watch features a Zero-Restart function, which basically means that you can reset the second hand to zero (or “60″ seconds, if you please) with a press of a push-piece, which is located at 2 o’clock on the side of the medium-sized 40.5 mm case.The second hand will remain in that position for as long as you will keep the push-piece pressed. Say, to the sixth pip of the GTS on the radio.Although A. Lange & Sohne says nothing about the movement’s accuracy, at least you will be able to set the time right again each time you find the watch lying.Unfortunately, in its lengthy press release the German watch maker says nothing about whether the movement is capable to simultaneously adjust position of the minute and hour hands. I mean, it would be really nice if, when the Zero-Restart is activated at 11:59:36, the hands would move right to 12:00:00.Well, maybe I just ask too much.
