The A. Lange & Sohne Tourbograph Perpetual 'Pour Le Mérite,' The First Lange PLM With A Perpetual Calendar. The Tourbograph Perpetual was developed from the 2005 Tourbograph "Pour le Mérite," which is a rattrapante chronograph, with tourbillon, and fusée and chain. The Tourbograph is to put it mildly an impressive as hell watch, if Lange's design philosophy resonates with you at all; ditto the Tourbograph Perpetual. The design of the latter starts where the Tourbograph leaves off: the mainplate houses the barrel and fusée, the going train, and the tourbillon; the rattrapante works are on the back, and the perpetual calendar works are, as is traditional in both Swiss and German watchmaking, under the dial.

As one would expect, the finishing on the movement is of exquisite quality, including thermally blued screws, screwed gold chatons, Glashutte ribbing and perlage on the bridges and plates made of untreated German silver, and hand-engraving on the chronograph bridge. The A. Lange & Söhne Tourbograph Perpetual “Pour le Merite†is limited to only 50 pieces and priced at 480,000 euros.
