The Richard Lange Pour le Merite, features a fusee and chain transmission. The fusee in fact, makes the watch more accurate in the same manner as the tourbillon. Just like the tourbillon, it has great chronometric value among collectors. This is the third watch produced by A. Lange & Sohne, of Glasshutte, Germany to have a fusee chain incorporated into the movement. Caliber L044.1 is a manually wound movement,that is focussed on attaining the ultimate in reliability and accuracy. The large balance wheel with eccentric weights beats at a rate of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour. The Lange Balance Spring, is designed by a team of Lange's master watchmakers and manufactured in-house. According to the salesman,the spring is attached to a patent-pending clamp,which unlike traditional construction does not deform the spring in the stud,instead it is secured to simplify any future adjustments that might be needed. Techinical Specification: Ref. 206.25 model in Platinum Edition of 50 pieces worldwide Movement: Fusee-and-chain Caliber L044.1 26 Jewels Manual wound 36 hour power reserve with hacking mechanism.
