The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds remains high precision and extreme legibility, it reinterprets the concept of the scientific observation watch. The balance is steadily driven by its one-second constant-force escapement.
The watch contains an intelligent combination of two mechanisms that functionally complement each other: a one-second constant force escapement and a jumping mechanism that guarantees the legibility. The Zero-Reset mechanism allows the watch to be synchronized quickly and comfortably.
This jumping mechanism is among the classic complications in precision horology. Pocket watches with this technology were once used to determine solar time. Ferdinand Adolph Lange developed one of these mechanisms as early as 1867 and was granted a patent for the invention.
