拍品專文
The present timepiece is one of an example of a strictly limited edition of 150 examples of the Tourbillon 'Pour le Mérite' made for some of the firms most loyal clients
According to A. Lange & Söhne, of the 150 examples produced, only 24 pieces were crafted in pink gold, 19 in white gold, 106 in yellow gold and 1 in stainless steel.
The Tourbillon "Pour le Mérite", another example of A. Lange & Söhne's complex and exclusive timepieces, incorporates a number of fascinating technical details never seen before in a wristwatch, most notably the going train driven with a chain fusée - The fusée and chain mechanism is one of the most effective methods of maintaining the accuracy of a watch by providing a constant amount of power to the escapement over the period that the mainspring unwinds from fully wound to unwound.
All parts of the watch are finished by hand and every surface is decorated. Consequently, the completion of each of these masterpieces requires several months.
Story of the balance cock
The engraved balance cock is one of the most distinguishing features of German watchmaking. A. Lange & Söhne's engraving department is one of the smallest within the company, with only six employees. Every balancing cock for modern watches is still engraved by hand at A. Lange & Söhne, and no exception for the present lot. In 2010, the owner wearing the present lot, and Helmut Wagner, the head of the engraving department, met each other in an event hosted by the brand. The master engraver immediately recognized that the cock was engraved by him. Helmut personally signed his name under the brochure in front of him. Helmut's exceptional craftsmanship, along with his extra genuineness, makes this watch even more collectible.
