The story in a second:

A. Lange & Söhne, the German masters of high-end horology, have released details of one of four watches they’ll be unveiling at Watches & Wonders in a few weeks: a version of their 1815 chronograph featuring a silver dial with blue markings and an elegant pulsometer scale.The Pulsometer – along with the telemeter – is one of the more uncommon types of chronograph scale. It’s far more usual to see a chronograph with a tachymeter, as measuring speed over distance is a more common application than measuring the heart rate or distance from a sound. The tachymeter scale has been so normalised on the dials of watches that the mere inclusion of one of these more esoteric scales firmly places the watch into the ‘heritage revival’ category (like this TAG Heuer or this Longines). But bear in mind Lange don’t release watches based on trends – their clean style and peerless technical capacity means they’re much more likely to be setting them.…
