Observation Replication

As far as dress watches go, there is this whole unwritten rule that they can only be worn with finer clothes like tuxedo's and suits. I think it depends on the watch. A watch that breaks stigmas and maintains respect is the Richard Lange by A Lange & Sohne. This watch is incredibly elegant and even more every day than some sport watches out there today.This watch can be acquired in three different precious metals for ultimate versatility. The Platinum being a white metal and the most neutral is the one to have if you got the cashish, because even though it looks like steel you know its there because of the weight!

The incredible sophistication of the rose is in my opinion the nicest rose gold watch on the planet and most collectible out of the three with its understated but rich tone of rose gold with chocolate croco strap to be outfitted with the most casual or the most formal gear. The yellow gold, lets not really go there because I absolutely think yellow gold is worn by pimps, but this watch is available in yellow gold and somehow it manages to pull off being a great blue jeans watch.This is the only Lange that has a full sweep second hand, with a dial made out of pure silver with roman numerals which screams timeless and pays homage to the original observation pocket watch in classic tribute style.

Richard Lange was the first son of the company's founder Mr Ferdinand Adolf Lange. Richard Lange was a scientist who dedicated his life to research and development of Horology. To his credit he was awarded 27 individual patents. The one that sticks out is his use of beryllium to improve alloys such as hair springs which enhanced the elasticity and hardness and reduced the springs temperature variance as well as magnetic fields which improved the quality and assured much better accuracy.

Today Lange still uses this as a proud part of their heritage in what is called the Nivarox spring which is used by almost all fine watch companies today. The Richard Lange is 40.5 mm has a sapphire crystal front and back and is just a true symbol of the observation of replication.
