Product Description

A. Lange & Sohne – Richard Lange Referenzuhr
REF# 250.032

LIMITED & NUMBERED EDITION OF ONLY 75 PIECES WORLDWIDE!
The RICHARD LANGE pays tribute to company founder Adolph Lange’s first-born son Richard Lange (1845-1932), a bright mind devoted to the scientific evolution of precision watchmaking.

The RICHARD LANGE “Referenzuhr” salutes the Time-Keeping Service of the Mathematics and Physics Salon in 18th-century Dresden. The city’s Court Clock-makers and Inspectors were responsible for determining the correct time. The current time was measured astronomically and then a precision pendulum clock was set accordingly. Then with the aid of a few particularly accurate pocket watches, the correct time was further distributed down the line. Watchmakers, scientists, and railroad officials were among the key users of this high-precision service.
