A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds Watch 2016

A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds watch is beautifully designed: a variant on a conventional regulator, with the jumping seconds display given center stage, and unlike most jumping seconds watches, here the complication is driven directly off a one-second fourth wheel remontoire d’egalite – every serious watch nerd’s favorite horological flourish https://www.aomwatches.is/.

It also has a return-to-zero function that is meant to be an aid to precise setting of the watch and which is tons of fun to see in action, with the vertical clutch return-to-zero mechanism visible through the case back. Both front and back, it’s got exactly the kind of monomaniacal precision-plus-quality vibe that makes Lange what it is – price be damned.
