• Limited edition of only 100 pieces
• Striking pink gold “salmon” dial paired with a white gold case
• Introduced in 2025 as a new interpretation of the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds
• Offered by the original owner
Introduced in 2016, the Richard Lange Jumping Seconds represents one of A. Lange & Söhne’s most technically accomplished expressions of precision timekeeping. Its distinctive regulator-style dial is composed of three intersecting circles, with the large jumping seconds display taking precedence, while the hours and minutes are displayed on two smaller subsidiary dials. A power reserve indication is discreetly positioned at their intersection.
At its heart is the manually wound calibre L094.1, incorporating a constant-force mechanism with a one-second remontoire d’égalité. A zero-reset mechanism further allows the seconds hand to return instantaneously to zero when the crown is pulled.
The jumping seconds also gives the watch an unusual sensory quality. Each advancement of the seconds hand is accompanied by a crisp, rhythmic tick. Combined with the exceptional hand-finishing, it is a watch whose mechanical character can be appreciated not only visually, but audibly.
In 2025, A. Lange & Söhne revisited the model with the present reference 252.056, produced as a limited edition of only 100 pieces, with the present watch numbered 79. Its 40mm white gold case is paired with a warm pink gold, or “salmon,” dial. The cool tone of the white gold provides a striking counterpoint to the warmth of the dial.
Offered by its original owner, the present example brings together rarity, exceptional movement finishing and one of the manufacture’s most attractive contemporary dial and case combinations.
A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.
On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
