THE LANGE 1815 UP and DOWN : THE CALIBER L942.1
PART 1 by WALT ODETS
The Lange &Sohne 1815 Up and Down is perhaps the quint essential Lange watch. Utterly traditional in appearance, it encases the caliber L942.1, a caliber L941.1 with the addition of a true differential power reserve mechanism. The addition of the power reserve gearing increases the thickness of the 11 ligne (25.6 millimeter) movement by 0.38 millimeter, for a total thickness of 3.58 millimeters. The 942.1 uses 27 jewels, 21 in the timing train (jeweled to the barrel, with two cap jewels on the escape wheel) and an additional six in the power reserve mechanism. The caliber provides stop seconds ("hacking") and, like most Langes, beats at 21,600. The watch case measures 36 millimeters in diameter and 7.96 millimeters thick.
Lange & Sohne 사의 1815 Up and Down은, 랑에의 시계중에 수준높은 걸작일 것입니다. 실제로 디퍼련셜 파워 리저브(differential power reserve) 장치가 추가된, Caliber L942.1, caliber L941.1의 외관은 아주 전통적으로 만들었습니다. 파워 리저브의 기어장치들이 더해져, 지름이 11ligne(25.6mm)와 두께가 0.38mm인 무브먼트가 추가되었고, 총 두께가 3.58mm가 되었습니다. 942.1은 27개의 보석들을 사용하고, 시간측정을 위한 기어열(배럴barrel에 있는 보석들, 이스케이프 휠escape wheel 위에 있는 두 개의 캡 주얼cap jewel들)에는 21개의 보석이 쓰였고, 파워 리저브(power reserve) 장치에는 6개의 보석이 추가되었습니다. 칼리버(Caliber)는 대부분의 랑에(Lange)의 시계들처럼 초를 멈추는 기능(hacking)과, 시간당 21600의 진동수를 제공합니다. 시계 케이스는 지름이 36mm로, 두께가 7.96mm로 측정되었습니다.
BASIC CONSTRUCTION(기초 구조)
Like all hand wound Langes to date, the caliber 942 uses a three-quarter bridge construction. This single plate provides upper pivots for all mechanisms in the watch, save the balance wheel. Thus the movement is constructed of only four structural components: the three-quarter plate, the main plate, the pallet lever bridge, and the balance cock. All plates and bridges are fabricated of nickel silver, an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc. They are unplated. While providing a traditional and distinctive color and sheen, the plates are soft and easily scratched.
As illustrated left, the immaculately finished three-quarter bridge is decorated with a striped pattern on the top surface, and six of the eight pivots are set with screwed, gold-chatoned jewels. The escape wheel uses a traditional black-polish steel plate for cap jewel retention (1), and the seconds intermediate wheel uses a friction-fit gold chaton (2). All visible finishing is done with a distinctly German aesthetic that could not be mistaken for a Swiss watch. A screwed chaton, as seen from underneath the three-quarter plate is illustrated below right.
The Three-quarter bridge and stripped main plate of the movement are shown left.
The click mechanism (left) is mounted to the underside of the three-quarter plate and uses an unusual design. A single-toothed click with elongated slot (1), it must relieve excessive tension on the mainspring at full wind by sliding on its mounting screw (rather than rotating as with a double tooth design). Properly lubricated, this common, older design should work properly. However, because of the sliding friction on both the screw and the click spring (2), these clicks are prone to sticking. Most Langes carrying a paper tag on the buckle warning the owner to relieve tension on the mainspring by "back-winding" the crown after arriving at full wind. Note the convenient hole in the plate (3) and click (4) for releasing mainspring pressure during service.
Because the seconds display on the dial is moved from the six to the four o'clock position, the 1815 Up and Down uses an indirect subsidiary seconds (left). The fourth wheel (1) drives a seconds intermediate wheel (2), which in turn drives the seconds indicator wheel (3). Because an indirect center seconds is out of the power flow (not between mainspring and balance), the display is prone to fluttering. It is common to see a tensioning spring to correct this on indirect center seconds (where the size of the display makes the fluttering more obvious), but Lange uses a tension spring on this caliber too (4). The spring rides in an elegantly machined track on the pinion of the indicator wheel (below left).
Among other beautiful details on the top plate is the exquisitely fabricated stop lever (right). When the crown is pulled into the setting position, the lever pivots and its extremely fine tip (right end) places a slight pressure on the balance wheel.
The setting lever (pull piece) of the Lange is of an unusual design (right). Instead of the setting lever screw (2) engaging the pull piece directly, a spring (1) is used. The pull piece screw tensions the spring which carries a post (3) on the setting lever. This provides some flexibility to the pull piece, likely helping prevent breakage of the stem with a shock to the crown. This photograph also shows the pin on the set lever (4) that operates the stop lever (5) when the crown is pulled into the hand-setting position.
The crown wheel (right, 1) is very elegantly provided with its own cock (2).

그래서 때똥님은 시계 위조(개조)도 잘 하시는가 봅니다... 헤헤... 죄송...
혁쓰님 수고 많으셨어요... -

모두들 감사드립니다. 확실히 작년에 번역하던 거랑 올해들어서 번역하던거랑은 많이 틀려진 것 같에요. 번역도 의역이 생겨서 어느정도 매끄러워지고.. 근데 사실 기술쪽 부분들은 오히려 쉬어지는데, 관용어 부분이라던지 그런쪽은 헤매고 다닙니다. ~~ ^^;; -
