This year’s vote for the “ Golden Balance ” has resulted in first prize for A. Lange & Söhne: In the top category “watches priced over 25,000 euros” the winner was the Tourbograph Perpetual “Pour le Mérite”, launched at SIHH 2017.
The fifth masterpiece in A. Lange & Söhne’s “Pour le Mérite ” series combines the fusée-and-chain transmission with a tourbillon, a chronograph, a rattrapante function and a perpetual calendar. The award was received by Andreas Haude, Lange’s General Manager Northern Europe, on 15 February 2018 in Munich.
Since 1998, readers of the German watch journal “ Uhren Magazin ” and registered users of Focus online have voted for “the best watches in the world”. In a two-stage process the participants of one of the biggest readers' polls in the watch world have to choose among several hundred mechanical models. Timepieces by A. Lange & Söhne, like the Lange 1, Double Split, Zeitwerk and Saxonia Annual Calendar have regularly been voted among the first-place winners.
