701.001 : A. Lange & Söhne Tourbillon Pour le Mérite

Description

The Tourbillon Pour le Mérite was one of the original 4 models introduced in the earliest days of the modern A. Lange & Söhne, as visualized by Gunter Blumlein as a way to make a statement - A. Lange & Söhne would play at the highest levels of horology.

In the 701.001 configuration, it is said a total of 104 pieces were created.

Movement

Handwound movement with tourbillon escapement and power equalization with chain and fusée. It was one of the movements (and with the Pour le Mérite, watches) that was introduced as the first collection of the resurected A. Lange & Söhne in 1994. The concept was created by Gunter Blumlein while Giulio Papi worked on the chain & fusée mechanism.
