Find technical details, pricing and wallpaper for this stunning horological tribute inside. The Richard Lange Tourbillon Pour le M��rite pays tribute to Saxon watchmaker Johann Heinrich Seyffert (1751-1817).

In 1845, this trend culminated in the establishment of the first German watch manufactory by Ferdinand A. Lange.The regulator Seyffert crafted in 1807 is a particularly attractive example. It is now part of the collection of the Mathematics and Physics Sal

Jan at Nesbit's was incredibly responsive and he
