At first sight, the Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Mérite" seems to have a totally different face than earlier models of the Richard Lange watch family. Its three-part regulator dial was inspired by the design of a pocket watch crafted by master watchmaker Johann Heinrich Seyffert of Dresden; in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, his precision pocket watches enjoyed an outstanding reputation. With its fusée-and-chain transmission, tourbillon, and stop-seconds mechanism, the Richard Lange Tourbillon "Pour le Mérite" propagates Seyffert's approach to precision into the 21st century.
