I was scrolling on Insta and suddenly I watched a wire spring on a Lange movement.
Being on night shift might cause allucination, so i double checked the official website.
Am I still fu@@ up?

I took screenshots because I still believe there's something wrong on my PC...there's the link and the model.
Still confused 😐😐😐







Cool! Someone on this forum could notice

Such minute differences!

I posted something like that more than two years ago.

I noticed this too last week and thought it was strange

It’s just hidden under the price when the center wheel is rotating 

Below is pic of the honey gold 1815 rattrapant  movement from monochrome - still there 

This is a substandard way to make a rattrapante and also quite cheap looking 




I wasn't sure if "hidden under the price" was a typo! :) Small part of spring is still visible in current pic on Lange's website:

"Price" was an amusing autocorrect.

Being german they must comply with their own standard

The old poincon did (and stil does) NOT allow that, wire springs are not accepted

I wonder what more there is to this story, and what other solutions Lange might've explored.
