Latest Watches News

Maybe you have forgotten that the Zeitwerk Acoustic and Richard Lange Tourbillon watch of A.Lange & Sohne, which has a 3 days power reserve.

This is a new trend at Lange: in these years, some Lange 1 watch possess the 72 hours power reserve. What’s more, the automatic calibers’ power reserve couldn’t exceed the limit of 46 hours.

There are two kinds of expectations of Lange not missing from the market:
- it is no need to set the time again during the weekend if the watch has higher power reserves.
- more automatic watches have more favourable prices
We had three type of power reserves of power reserve in 2001:
36 hours for the Datograph
about 45 hours for the simple watches, automatic or handwind
72 hours for the Lange 1

And now, things have changed greatly:
- the Cabaret Tourbillon (5 days) and the 31 days
- the average power reserve of the permanent collection reaches now 51 hours against 46 hours in 2001.
- the calibers with a 36 hours power reserve is higher than ever
- new power reserves reach 50,55,60 hours
- 3 days of power reserve is widely seen in more calibers

Now let me introduce one power reserve watch, which has a long 31 days energy, it is the Lange 31 days watch:

Whatever, this post is only my personal view on A.Lange & Sohne power reserve watch for many years. Gradually, Lange is changing the structure of its collection by offering a larger range of power reserves. I believe that the average power reserve is increasing. And I will always follow this change and share with all of the watch fans.

Tourbograph Pour le Merite sesame chain drive system (pagoda round and sesame chain)

The main winding mechanical watch with full force on the chain or nearly depleted two different situations will produce different degrees of torque. When the primary winding in the chain, the final stage of power will be weakened, leading to errors ratio. Sesame chain drive system tray and will be the mainspring of its tower between rounds to a slender, like a bicycle chain with a chain as the chain known as sesame connected to each other. When a user for rotating the crown when the watch on a chain, the pagoda in the tapered chain round the top of the sesame seeds will be rolled up, winding the clockwork box will be stretched. Then, winding through the power will be transmitted to the movement round the pagoda to bring lasting change of torque, and thus improve the ratio of power reserve watch the whole accuracy. In short, sesame chain operation is the use of Archimedes discovered fulcrum principle: When the mainspring is fully on the chain and fully operational, sesame chain will be smaller circle, that is, pull the lever round pagoda ; and when the mainspring power weakens, sesame chain will be in the tower round the circumference of part of a larger pull.

This exquisite device improved the accuracy rate of power reserve watch, but when the chain need to be re mainspring, the movement will in turn stop moving. Therefore, Lange’s pagoda is also equipped with a wheel within a planetary gear so that movement of the mainspring for the chain, can still continue to run, just the gear needed by the 38 component parts, and the entire Sesame chain part number more than 600, making such a complex device to a little sesame chain and watch, the look of today’s altar watch only Lange have such excellent technology.
