Drawing on the aesthetic of 19th-century precision observation instruments, the Richard Lange Tourbillon 'Pour le Mérite' presents a silver dial bearing classical Roman numeral hour markers and an aperture through which the tourbillon carriage is revealed. The chain-and-fusée transmission — the hallmark that earns this piece its 'Pour le Mérite' distinction — delivers constant torque to the escapement across the full power reserve, a technical achievement that demands exceptional craft from the movement's manual-wind caliber.
The 41mm rose gold case features an exhibition caseback that opens onto the movement within, showcasing the hand-engraved balance cock and polished tourbillon bridge characteristic of Glashütte manufacture. A deployant buckle secures a brown alligator strap, lending the watch an understated formality well suited to dress or casual wear. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres.
Offered complete with original box and papers, reference 760.032 represents the convergence of the tourbillon complication and the fusée-and-chain system — two of traditional horology's most demanding feats — in a single timepiece from A. Lange & Söhne.
