A. Lange & Söhne
Turbograph Pour le Mérite
Produced in a limited edition series
of 51 watches, the Tourbograph, in
platinum, by A. Lange & Söhne is one
of the watchmaker’s most complicated
watches to date. While the company’s
first Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite” was first
released in 1994, the present watch is a
modern interpretation, further enhanced
by the rattrapante chronograph, along
with a power reserve indicator and
fusée-and-chain transmission. The one
minute tourbillon is the main feature
of the watch, comprised of no less
than 84 components. The rattrapante
chronograph too is particularly striking,
allowing for time laps to be measured.

Yet, above all, it is A. Lange & Söhne’s
craftsmanship which truly sets the watch
apart. It takes 30 days just to assemble
each watch, and only 12 examples
were crafted in a year. The tourbillon
bridge is completely hand finished and
the components of the calibre L903.0
movement are painstakingly hand
engraved. The present watch is offered
in excellent overall condition.
