Marina Milojević | 04.03.13 | 09:07 AM

A. Lange & Söhne is launching a special variant of its Richard Lange model, which will be offered in white gold, from April 2013.

A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange in white gold will be distributed exclusively at the boutiques of the brand. The Richard Lange model was introduced back in 2006, as a classic three-hander with sweep seconds. This year, for the very first time, the model comes in white gold variant, paired with an argenté-colored solid-silver dial highlighted with blued steel hands. The case measures 40.50 mm in diameter and it conceals manually wound Lange manufacture calibre L041.2. This high-precision mechanism is built on 199 components and it beats at a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, ensuring about 38 hours of power reserve.

The Richard Lange model is created to pay a tribute to Ferdinand A. Lange's eldest son, Richard, who was, for many years, the technical director of the manufacture. Each of the watches from Richard Lange collection personifies the tradition of A. Lange & Söhne's scientific observation watches from the 19th and 20th centuries. Their elegant and reduced design focuses on basic elements of time-telling: hours, minutes, and seconds, and yet provides readings accurate to one-sixth of a second.
