After the presentation in 2013 of the Grand Complication and more recently of the Grand Lange 1 Moon-Phase, the 2014 edition of the SIHH is the time for A. Lange & Sohne to reveal another masterpiece, showing once again the expertise of the manufacture in complicated movements and innovation. The Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna combines a perpetual calendar, a regulator display, a 14 days power reserve and a constant force escapement. Already impressive in itself, the front dial is not the only that attracts us; the Terraluna features on its movement side a brand new orbital moon-phase display.The Richard Lange Perpetual Calendar Terraluna is a 45.5mm watch available in both a pink or white gold case.
