Lange & Söhne fitted presentation box and Certificate of Origin.;Catalogue Essay;In 1845, founder Ferdinand Adolph Lange established his own workshop in Glashütte Saxony. A. Lange & Söhne flourished for close to 100 years, however its factories were sadly destroyed on the final day of World War II, and the brand would soon be confiscated by the Soviets. Following the demise of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, Ferdinand’s great grandson, Walter Lange, reestablished the brand once again in Glashütte in 1990. Four years later, the first collection, comprised of four watches was launched in 1994 and immediately rose again to the forefront of haute horology. Of these, the iconic Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon best showcased Lange’s technical excellence. Lange took the tourbillon one step further by incorporating a fusée and chain mechanism for the first time ever in a wristwatch. Used to equalize the mainspring’s power, a fusée and chain was used on all 12 Lange tourbillon pocket watches produced by Walter’s ancestors. This complication optimizes the rate accuracy of the watch. Produced from 1994 to 1998, in a limited edition of 201 examples, with 106 pieces in yellow gold, 19 in white gold, 50 in platinum, and just 24 in pink gold. This 18 karat pink gold Pour Le Mérite, with its stunning black dial and white sub-dials, is in excellent condition, and combined with its wonderful precision movement, is a shining example of the long technical history of the German manufacturer. It will appeal to sophisticated collectors who seek to have a modern contemporary timepiece that has its foundation in the brand’s important, historical past.
