The A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds replica watch is yet another exemplary achievement of the watchmakers from Glashütte. It combines a display of seconds in strict one-second intervals with some other clever features in honouring F.A. Lange’s invention of 1867. The watch is all about precision and innovation but also about history and heritage. The 39.9mm timepiece will be produced in platinum and is limited to 100 pieces.
The jumping second – also referred to as dead second or seconde morte – is a complication that moves the seconds-hand at every exact second. The clarity of jumping seconds comes in handy when you want to check your heart rate during a 30-seconds timeframe, when you want to synchronize watches, need the exact second during navigation and observation, or when you just like to enjoy another pinnacle of mechanical watch-making.
The hot sale fake A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange family of watches was first introduced by Swiss A. Lange & Söhne in 2006, with the idea being to create a family of watches that reflected observation watches made by Lange for scientific expeditions, and for navigation.
Ever since the oscillation of watches has moved beyond one hertz, people had to get used to smooth moving seconds hands. Nowadays you can buy a quartz watch to see jumping seconds in action but during the pre-quartz era watchmakers had to come with other solutions. Seconds-hand precision was important for determining sidereal or solar time as well as geographical longitude.Now for 2016, A. Lange & Söhne has introduced a new watch to the Richard Lange family: the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds.
There is another advantage. You can now make photos of a running mechanical watch while it is running and show a sharp and clear seconds hand!
A larger centre 1Hz seconds hand made one step each second and could be stopped and released using a lever. The history of Jumping Seconds goes back to 1776 when Jean-Moise Pouzait presented a movement with a separate gear train for stopping and starting a seconds hand independently of the hours and minutes. a mens A. Lange & Sohne copy wristwatch with large sends-hands with fly-back. In 1867 F.A. Lange produced a mechanism with an independent central-seconds hands that hopped every second. However, it could not fly to zero. The device was later patented by his sons.
The watchmakers of Dresden”, Reinhard Meis describes that F.A. Lange dedicated to three areas: an regular lever watch with constant-pressure device, a complement jumping seconds and huge seconds-hands.
So it’s no surprise that Ferdinand Adolph Lange also incorporated jumping seconds within the mission to find the best precision observatory pocket In his book “Swiss-made A. Lange & Söhne replica Watches.
