Richard Lange Jumping Seconds is a luxury wristwatch by A. Lange & Söhne.

The watch attracts attention by the unusual arrangement of hands on the dial. The representation of the time units with three overlapping displays goes back to the Dresden astronomer and watchmaker Johann Heinrich Seyffert. His famous pocket chronometer No. 93 from 1807 was the first watch with such an arrangement.

The L094.1 movement features the elaborate complication of jumping seconds with hacking seconds, combined with a remontoire-constant force mechanism.

The platinum model was introduced 2016, the red gold model 2017 and the white gold model 2019.
