The Lange 31 – with an amazing 31 day power reserve!One of the most challenging aspects in production of mechanical wristwatches is the duration of the Power Reserve, understandably the longer the Power Reserve the more convenient it is to the wearer. Thus most top brands invest considerable time, effort & funds into developing a mechanism that can store the most amount of energy within the constraints of a wristwatch case size. Storing energy is only half of the challenge, as the torque in the spring will fluctuate considerably (especially in watches with larger power reserves), which in turn will have a negative impact on accuracy. Thus an equally challenging feat is to take the stored energy and transfer it to the movement in a controlled and uniform manner.Enter the LANGE 31, Lange presents the world’s first mechanical wristwatch with a power reserve of 31 days and a patented constant-force escapement. The double stacked mainspring barrels, each with an impressive 185cm long spring, store the energy. A constant-force escapement between the twin mainspring barrels and the going-train assures that the balance receives an identical amount of energy every ten seconds, regardless of the state of wind of the springs!
Another practical feature is the “Key Winding Mechanism” where the watch is not wound by the crown (which would be an tedious job) , rather it is wound using a provided key that fits into a matching aperture on the case (sealed with 3 gaskets to ensure water resistance). The provided key has a built-in torque sensor, once the watch is almost fully wound the key senses the increase in tension & will disengage the ratchet key.
