2021 Watches & Wonders: A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split Replica In Pink Gold With Blue Dial

2021 Watches & Wonders: A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split Replica In Pink Gold With Blue Dial

When Lange launched the Triple Split Chronograph replica in 2018, it was hailed as a world premiere by the international trade press, taking its famous Double Split to a new level by offering a two-second chronograph that can be measured twice at the same time for up to 12 hours. Now, following in its wake is a A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split Replica 424.037F with a rose gold case and blue dial, a warmer, richer successor to the original's all-silver ambience.

The Case & Dial

The A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split replica watch was never a watch that would fly under the radar as the 43.2mm diameter and 15.6mm height were never destined to be subtle or discreet. The gold case adds to that grandeur as this is a pretty serious watch, both in complexity and in heft.

Despite the wealth of displayed information, an ingenious material and color concept makes it easy to clearly assign each of the ten hands to a specific function. There is no other watch in the world that compares with the Triple Split. It is a logical evolution of the Double Split replica introduced by A. Lange & Söhne replica in 2004. With a precisely jumping rattrapante minute counter, it was no doubt already an impressive milestone in the development of modern rattrapante mechanisms conceived by the Saxon watchmakers. 

The Function

Stopping times of up to twelve hours are possible with the Triple Split that alone is a rarity in a mechanical chronograph. The extension of the rattrapante function to the hour counter offers a multitude of further possibilities. For instance, the Triple Split replica can compare the times of two opponents in a Formula One race, a Tour de France stage, or a marathon. The time measurement is started by pressing the chronograph pusher at 2 o'clock. The pairs of hands now run synchronously until they are separated by pressing the rattrapante pusher at 10 o'clock to perform a lap-time measurement. The three rhodium hands will then stop to display the lap time. All the while, the previously concealed chronograph hands in gold-plated steel or pink gold continue the time measurement. As soon as the rattrapante pusher is pressed again, the rattrapante hands catch up with the chronograph hands and from then on run together with them again. 

The movement is also endowed with a flyback function that involves all three hand pairs as well. Thus, the chronograph can be reset to zero by pressing the chronograph pusher at 4 o’clock during an ongoing time measurement. Releasing the pusher instantly starts a new time measurement. 

In the starting position, the three rhodiumed rattrapante hands are superposed on the respective chronograph hands. The time measurement is started by pressing the chronograph pusher at 2 o'clock. The pairs of hands now run synchronously until they are separated by pressing the rattrapante pusher at 10 o'clock to perform a lap-time measurement. The three rhodiumed hands will then stop to display the lap time. All the while, the previously concealed chronograph hands in gold-plated steel or pink gold continue the time measurement. As soon as the rattrapante pusher is pressed again, the rattrapante hands catch up with the chronograph hands and from then on run together with them again. 

The movement
