The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds stands out with its sleek design and mechanical finesse. Its regulator dial with the large seconds circle at the top draws attention to the smallest of the three units of time. The smaller hour and minute circles arranged beneath it are positioned to the left and right. The display in the lower zone where the hour and minute indications intersect is a special eye-catcher: Ten hours before the unwound state is reached, it switches from white to red, reminding the wearer that the watch needs to be rewound soon. The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds carries the concept of the observation watch over into the 21st century. With its unique combination of a constant-force escapement for the seconds, jumping seconds, and Zero-Reset function, it showcases the key hallmarks of an observation watch: dependability, precision, and clarity. In the L094.1 manufacture caliber, three complex mechanisms interact to drive the balance with a uniform amount of energy across the maximum power reserve of 42 hours, to advance the seconds hand from marker to marker 86,400 times a day, and to activate the Zero-Reset function.
