Believe the vast majority of people will answer Swiss made, but in fact the town of Glashütte in Dresden, Germany, but there are two in the world altar table has a heavyweight brand, Long A.LANGE & SHNE and another town named Glashütte Original, in particular the legendary Longue. German watch as Mercedes-Benz cars, Leica camera as charming, but the top price of the Lange watch will not be much cheaper than the Mercedes-Benz S-class. If you ask the difference between a German watch and a Swiss watch, Lange is not like Patek Philippe with gorgeous workmanship and custom a 10-year limited edition to enhance the value. German artisans create mechanical watches that may be the most sophisticated movement in the world, with their craftsmanship beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The German watch not only earned its respect by its sophisticated and durable movement, but it was also known for its bold mechanical innovations. Not only sophisticated tourbillon, and Lange sesame chain drive system and 31-day power reserve has been incredible enough. Last year, he visited the Lange Table Factory in the town of Glashütte and was attracted by a pot of plants before leaving the factory. A scale "test tube" was inserted into the soil of the pot, and the original watering of the plants poured the water into a "test tube" so that the amount of water required was accurately calculated each time. Germans are so rigorous that you can not understand, when I proposed to take pictures of the watch worn on the wrist, the Lange responsible person refused me, he said: "The sample table is to try on the guests, inevitable Will leave a slight scratches on the case, if you need to take pictures, we can provide you with a new table. richard lange pour le mérite: very accurate There are two versions: platinum (limited edition 50) and rose gold (limited edition 200 only), the strap is hand-stitched crocodile skin Only the watches with the most sophisticated devices will be branded "pour le mérite", the third of which has been named the "pour le mérite" since Tourbillon Tourbillon and the 2005 tourbograph Watch, because the observatory richard lange pour le mérite equipped with Richard - Lange sesame chain drive system. Last year at Lange watch factory, watch factory is most proud of is to introduce the production process of sesame chain, the chain is a bit like a bicycle chain, but it's each link is even smaller than the "sesame" , It is amazing. Sesame chain is the old pocket watch technology, the purpose is to use the lever principle, when the winding tight and relaxed to maintain a constant torque output, so accurate to go, but the sesame chain from the "large" pocket watch introduction To the small watch, Lange is the first one.
