From the very beginning, the Lange 1 was a bold statement against conformism and Saxony’s answer to stylistic uniformity in watch design. Now, in a stately white-gold case with luminous hands and appliqués, it presents itself in a new livery: radiant,
sleek, and distinctive.
No other watch played a more prominent role in the revival of the A. Lange & Söhne brand than the Lange 1. Though it was launched nearly 15 years ago, it has lost none of its original charisma. In an inimitable way, it melded tradition, progress, and superb quality. The Lange 1 thus became the symbol for the
rebirth of a marque that has always stood for exclusive timekeeping instruments. With a bright argenté dial and a striking white-gold case, the design icon now reveals new, gleaming facets.
Even after nightfall, this watch beams with its luminous, Superluminova-coated rhodiumed gold hands and appliqués on the off-centre time and power reserve dials. So apart from the time of day, the new beacon from Saxony also vividly delivers
the time of night between sunset and sunrise.
This new member of the watch family is also powered by the eminent calibre L901.0 movement. From the horological perspective, it features fascinating details: the typical three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, screwed gold chatons, the twin mainspring barrel with a power reserve of more
than three days, the patented, highly intricate whiplash precision index adjuster on a hand-engraved balance cock, and the ingenious outsize date display that in the 1990s prompted an entire industry to rethink the fundamental concepts of the dial. To
emphasise its temperament, the Lange 1 in the whitegold
case has a black crocodile strap with a white seam and a Lange prong buckle in solid white gold. |
