Footnotes:
The German name of this Lange is 'AUF and AB' in accordance with the inscription on the power reserve indicator. When the hands point to 'AUF', the mainspring of the watch is fully wound. When the hands point to 'AB', this warns the wearer that the watch needs to be rewound. The UP and DOWN display has a long tradition at Lange and Söhne, as seen in their pocket watches, marine chronometers and finally in their 'Pour le Mérite Tourbillon.'
