Thanks Dje for a fantastic read ...
Do the other PLM's make use of the same full winding locking mechanics?
I think the old Tourbillon PLM uses a different low winding locking
device but I am not sure.
And I think this Richard Lange Pour le Merite uses a different seconds-
hack mechanics (hacking when you pull the crown), can you acknowledge
that? I mean, that lever below the balance, that is the hacking or
balance-stop lever, isnt it?
Again, a great article which I read whilest drooling all over my
computers keyboard.

btw, I think it isnt the torque that is delivered by the mainspring
that decreases when the mainspring unwinds, but rather the force
delivered by that spring. To keep the torque delivery of the
mainspring to the wheeltrain and escapement constant, the lever (fusee
diameter) increases with the decreasing force from the mainspring.
A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Pour le Merite, what else!
This watch is no longer a secret, but you are certainly many waiting and hoping to see it and know more ! As you already know, Amanico, Foversta and myself had the pleasure to attend a presentation of the new for 2009 A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Pour l...
Congrats Jérôme for this superb post !
You perfectly explained that beneath the simplicity of a 3 hands watch, there is a complex caliber full of technical features. Fr.Xavier
Congrats, Jerome, for this excellent post.
Can't wait to see what Lange will present in less than 3 weeks, now. This PLM was above my expectations, indeed. For its understated Beauty, and its mechanical sophistication. Thanks to you, now we better understand how interesting is this PLM, mechanical...
splendid ! ....
thanks a lot, great report for a truly dream watch greetings from France
A dream of a watch
The more I read your posts the more this watch fascinates me.Congratulation guys for the wonderful reports.All the best.
Tnx for the very nice post!
Thank god this watch is not available yet, becuz with all the post we've read here and the beauty of this watch, it would have been very hard to resist K.
Super Report Jertome. Big big Thank you
Now I need to spend some time with this beauty. Thanks again. Bill
Excellent Job Dje...
A really great job. Thanks for sharing with us this magnificient watch. Two weeks ago, for the first time in my life and thanks to Nicolas and F. Xavier, I could take in my hands and admire three large pieces of Lange. I never thought that these watches c...
Very nice work Jerome, that was a bit of a challenge for sure and
you sailed through the course with ease and grace. This was a great Holiday read and I hope they will have a sample in Geneva! Take good care, Best to all and Happy New Year! Tim
I sure did Dje!
Thanks for sharing with us this very wonderful masterpiece from the House of A. Lange & Sohne! As always, they have gained my respects, and this time round even more so, because it's the 2nd piece in the family of the Richard Lange collection, in which th...
Thanks again.
Fascinating read. And for explaining things in a way a noob like me can understand.
Thanks for all the explanations
and your personal view. I appreciated them a lot as it was a pleasure to read. Oliver
Many thanks Jerome
you, FX and Nic do fantastic reports I have been eyeing RL, can only dream of RL Anny and now this PLM ... this keep my WIS alive ...LOL
Many thanks to you Dje
for this extraordinary article, which has made at least some parts of this movement clear to me. Undoubtedly this is a ground-breaking achievement in sophisticated movement construction, and if you consider the precision it requieres from the manufacturer...

btw, do you perhaps have high-res copies of the ...
computer renderings (and the graph) you used in your post? Edwin
Great report - thanks Jerome. Question - and this is probably
the result of spending too many years on a bicycle, but would there not be some 'play' in the chain after time and if not, how do they make sure that would not happen. If it does, then that would affect the time keeping ability of the watch. The concentri...
I think there can't be a "play" in the chain here
Unlike the bike, in this case the chain is constantly pulled by the mainspring so the tension is always there. And if the tension is lost, probably the ratchet wheel on the main barel needs to be tightened.
A watch for life.
It is absolutely astounding in every regard. Thank you for this report.
Thank you Dje - your technical reviews are always a pleasure!
Fascinating watch and a great job on this truly "in-depth" review! It's really a rare occasion to find a review that goes beyond just taking a macroshots of the watch/movement here! A question regarding the winding - if I understand correctly the winding ...
Superb article
Congratulations and thank you for this article. It has made clear to a great extent the technical refinements of this marvel, although I am still mystified by how the torque on the fusee and the wheel train can be kept constant whilst winding the main spr...
Constant rate equals more accuracy?
Constant rate equals more precision. Constant rate equals more accuracy?
Great report, thank you for posting !
Very informative and a pleasure to read, I can't wait to see it in reality ! Regards, SLPW
