The short answer

The closest alternative to the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Pour Le Merite is the A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange Jumping Seconds — shared caliber (A. Lange & Söhne L0xx) and Same family (Richard Lange). If price is the constraint, the IWC Schaffhausen Iw3565 Portofino Automatic at $5,200 covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Astor + Banks AB1405 is the standout microbrand take — classic dress and Looks nearly identical.
