A. Lange & Söhne Elevates Saxonia Thin With Onyx Dial Limited Editions

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Honeygold, Limited Edition, Onyx Dials, Platinum 0

A. Lange & Söhne has introduced two striking new versions of the Saxonia Thin, reaffirming the collection’s reputation as one of the most refined expressions of German watchmaking. The novelties come in 750 Honeygold and 950 Platinum cases, each paired with a solid silver dial featuring a black onyx inlay, bringing a new level of contrast and elegance to the Saxonia line. Both models are limited to 200 pieces.

A Slim Yet Powerful Profile

The new Saxonia Thin models measure 40 mm in diameter and only 6.20 mm in thickness, underscoring their role as pure dress watches with understated proportions. Powering them is the manually wound Calibre L093.1, first introduced in 2011. Despite its compact size of just 2.90 mm thick, the movement delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve.

The Calibre L093.1 beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph and features 21 jewels, three screwed gold chatons, a shock-resistant screw balance, and an in-house manufactured balance spring. Its traditional Glashütte finishing ensures that, even though the movement sits relatively small within the larger caseback, the craftsmanship remains unmistakably Lange.

Material Highlights

The Honeygold version stands out as a particularly special release. Honeygold is a proprietary alloy exclusive to A. Lange & Söhne, known not only for its warm hue that shifts between yellow and rose tones but also for its exceptional hardness, making it more challenging to machine. This rarity enhances its desirability among collectors.

The Platinum variant, on the other hand, offers a cooler, more understated take on the design, paired with the stark black onyx dial. Both interpretations emphasize minimalism and balance while elevating the classic Saxonia Thin look with the deep, glossy onyx finish.

Exclusivity and Price

Each of the two models is limited to 200 examples, ensuring exclusivity in line with the brand’s philosophy of restraint and precision.

With these new Saxonia Thin watches, A. Lange & Söhne has filled a gap in its dress watch lineup, offering a larger, ultra-slim model that pairs technical refinement with a distinct aesthetic presence. For collectors seeking understated elegance with a rare material twist, these releases capture the essence of what makes the Saxonia Thin so enduring.

A. Lange & Söhne Launches Limited Richard Lange Jumping Seconds And 1815 Tourbillon

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Jumping Seconds, Limited Edition, Platinum, Regulator, Tourbillon, White Gold 0

A. Lange & Söhne unveiled two new interpretations of existing models, underscoring the brand’s dedication to precision watchmaking and classical design. The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds now appears with a pink-gold dial in a white-gold case, while the 1815 Tourbillon is introduced in platinum with a black grand-feu enamel dial. Both are produced in extremely limited numbers and showcase the craftsmanship for which the German manufacture is renowned.

Richard Lange Jumping Seconds – White Gold with Pink-Gold Dial

The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds is distinguished by its regulator-style display, where the largest sub-dial at twelve o’clock is dedicated to the seconds. Hours and minutes are placed in smaller overlapping registers below, a layout inspired by 18th-century precision chronometers crafted by Johann Heinrich Seyffert.

For 2025, the model is presented in a 39.90 mm white-gold case with a solid pink-gold dial featuring crisp black markings. The warmth of the dial contrasts elegantly with the cool tone of the case, offering a fresh visual identity to this regulator-style watch.

Inside beats the hand-wound calibre L094.1, a movement composed of 390 individual parts. It runs at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and delivers a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement integrates three key mechanisms that work together to ensure the highest degree of precision: a constant-force escapement that delivers steady energy to the gear train, a jumping seconds display that advances in exact one-second increments, and a zero-reset system that instantly resets the seconds hand to zero when the crown is pulled, allowing perfectly accurate time-setting.

Visible through the sapphire crystal caseback, the calibre is decorated in the traditional Lange style. It features untreated German silver plates, gold chatons held in place by blued screws, and the unmistakable hand-engraved balance cock. On the dial side, a triangular indicator serves as a subtle power reserve warning by turning red when only ten hours remain.

The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds in white gold with a pink-gold dial will be produced in a limited series of 100 pieces.

A. Lange & Söhne, Richard Lange Jumping Seconds, 252.056. Pink gold dial, 18k white gold case, 39.90 mm diameter, 10.60 mm thickness, sapphire crystal. Brown alligator leather strap with 18k white gold folding clasp. Calibre L094.1, hand-wound movement, hour, minutes, jumping seconds, power reserve, zero-reset, 42 hours of power reserve. Price: upon request, limited to 100 pieces.

1815 Tourbillon – Platinum with Black Grand-Feu Enamel Dial

The 1815 Tourbillon brings together the elegance of a classic design with highly sophisticated horology. At six o’clock, a one-minute tourbillon rotates to counteract the effects of gravity on the balance, improving accuracy. What makes this model particularly notable is the integration of stop seconds and zero-reset functions. When the crown is pulled, the tourbillon cage halts completely and the seconds hand returns to zero, making precise synchronization possible.

The watch is presented in a platinum case measuring 39.50 mm in diameter and 11.30 mm in height. Its striking dial is crafted from black grand-feu enamel, a process executed entirely in-house and requiring more than 100 steps and several weeks of work for each piece. White Arabic numerals and a railway-style minute track reflect the aesthetics of traditional 19th-century pocket watches and firmly root the watch in the design codes of the 1815 collection.

At its heart is the hand-wound calibre L102.1, built from 262 components. The movement operates at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour and provides a power reserve of 72 hours. An in-house manufactured balance spring paired with a screw balance ensures consistent performance. Through the dial aperture, the tourbillon reveals a finely finished cage and bridge treated with black polishing, which catches and reflects the light in dramatic fashion. The movement’s reverse side showcases A. Lange & Söhne’s hallmark features, including the three-quarter plate in untreated German silver, gold chatons secured with blued screws, and delicate hand engraving.

The 1815 Tourbillon in platinum with a black grand-feu enamel dial will be limited to only 50 pieces.

A. Lange & Söhne, 1815 Tourbillon, 730.094F. Black enamel over white gold dial, 950 platinum case, 39.50 mm diameter, 11.30 mm thickness, sapphire crystal. Black alligator leather strap with platinum folding clasp. Calibre L102.1, hand-wound movement, hour, minutes, one minute tourbillon, zero-reset, 72 hours of power reserve. Price: upon request, limited to 50 pieces.

Conclusion

With these two limited editions, A. Lange & Söhne continues to refine established models by introducing distinctive materials and dials. The Richard Lange Jumping Seconds highlights precision through its regulator display and trio of timekeeping mechanisms, while the 1815 Tourbillon demonstrates the brand’s pursuit of accuracy by combining a tourbillon with stop seconds and zero-reset. Together, they reaffirm the manufacture’s place at the forefront of traditional German watchmaking.

A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk Date Returns In A Luxurious Pink Gold Edition

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Jumping Hours, Pink Gold 0

When A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Zeitwerk in 2009, it marked a decisive leap forward in contemporary watchmaking: a mechanical timepiece that displayed time digitally through jumping numerals — hours and minutes — arranged on a horizontal axis across the dial. Behind its deceptively simple reading lay a complex orchestration of gears, springs, and levers that ensured instantaneous changes and precise mechanical control.

In 2019, the German manufacture advanced the Zeitwerk collection with the launch of the Zeitwerk Date, a watch that retained the signature digital time display while adding a peripheral date ring to the design. Unlike traditional date windows, this model displays the current date through a red marker on a subtly integrated outer ring, bringing added functionality to the Zeitwerk’s technical proposition without disrupting its visual symmetry.

Six years on, the Zeitwerk Date returns — now offered in a new pink gold variant (Ref. 148.033), marking the second case material in the model’s lineup after the original white gold version. The new execution preserves the characteristic grey dial, but with a date ring that has been subtly warmed to complement the hue of the case.

Key Features and Technical Specifications

At the heart of the Zeitwerk Date is the manually wound calibre L043.8, developed and produced entirely in-house. This movement offers an impressive power reserve of 72 hours, made possible through a system of twin mainspring barrels, which supply consistent torque across its three digital displays — hours, minutes, and the date.

A standout technical feature remains the constant-force escapement (remontoir d’égalité), visible on the dial side via the signature remontoir bridge. This mechanism releases energy at precise 60-second intervals, ensuring that the jumping discs function instantaneously and reliably — a necessity given the energy-intensive nature of the display system.

The case measures 44.20 mm in diameter and has a thickness of 12.30 mm, offering a substantial yet balanced presence on the wrist. The movement operates at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour (2.5Hz), a deliberate choice that supports the precise timing required by the remontoir. Time-setting and correction are facilitated by a crown located at 2 o’clock, while two integrated pushers located at the 4 and 8 o’clock positions allow for quick adjustment of the hour and date, respectively. These pushers are engineered with Lange’s “negative release” mechanism, meaning the pusher only activates upon release — a system that ensures a consistent force is applied to the movement during adjustments.

The newly introduced pink gold case adds a warmer tone to the otherwise monochrome display. Its soft sheen contrasts subtly with the light grey dial and matching peripheral date ring, whose shade has been delicately modified to harmonize with the warmer metal.

Finishing and Craftsmanship

As expected from A. Lange & Söhne, the calibre L043.8 showcases exemplary hand-finishing throughout. The movement is crafted from untreated German silver and features an array of traditional decorative techniques, including Glashütte ribbing, perlage, anglage, and black-polished components. Notably, this movement includes two hand-engraved bridges — one supporting the balance wheel and the other anchoring the remontoir mechanism — both of which are visible through the sapphire crystal caseback and offer a glimpse into the brand’s mastery of artisanal watchmaking.

Availability

The Zeitwerk Date in Pink Gold is now available exclusively through A. Lange & Söhne boutiques and authorized retailers. Pricing is available upon request and is expected to cost approximately € 130,000.

A. Lange & Söhne Celebrates Automotive Elegance At Villa D’Este 2025

MRSTATELESS A. LANGE & SÖHNE, BEYOND WATCHES 2025, Cars and Motorsport, Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 0

Once again, timeless craftsmanship met automotive excellence on the shores of Lake Como, as A. Lange & Söhne marked its ongoing partnership with the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este by presenting a truly unique timepiece.

From May 23 to 25, the prestigious classic car event brought together some of the world’s most remarkable vintage automobiles at the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este in Cernobbio, Italy. Among the 50 carefully selected participants, the coveted “Best of Show” trophy was awarded to a 1934 Alfa Romeo Tipo B (P3) from the Auriga Collection in Germany — a shining example of motoring history.

To honour this remarkable vehicle, Lange CEO Wilhelm Schmid presented the winner with a one-of-a-kind 1815 CHRONOGRAPH “Como Edition”. Crafted in white gold and featuring a solid pink-gold dial and a hand-engraved hinged cuvette bearing the Concorso’s coat of arms, the watch is a tribute to both precision engineering and historical preservation.

A. Lange & Söhne’s participation in the event is more than ceremonial. The brand has been an official partner since 2012, and the annual creation of a unique chronograph underlines the deep connection between mechanical watchmaking and classic automotive design — both worlds where heritage, innovation, and attention to detail thrive.

The 1815 CHRONOGRAPH reflects these values, from its manually wound calibre comprising over 300 finely finished components, to its subtle vintage-inspired design. It’s a celebration not just of time, but of tradition — and of forward momentum built on timeless principles.

Alongside the special edition, guests at Villa d’Este also had the chance to explore the latest Lange creations shown at Watches and Wonders 2025, including two new 1815 models with rich blue dials, as well as standout pieces like the MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL and the ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD.

As Schmid summed up: “The Concorso d’Eleganza has become a beloved tradition for us. It’s the perfect stage to honour the past while celebrating what’s possible through craftsmanship.”

The New A. Lange & Söhne 1815: Classic Elegance In A Compact Case

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Dress Watch, Pink Gold, Small Seconds, Watches and Wonders 2025, White Gold 0

A. Lange & Söhne expands the 1815 collection with two new models in 750 white and pink gold, offering a more compact and refined interpretation of the brand’s classic three-hand watch. The 1815 collection, named after Ferdinand Adolph Lange’s birth year, continues the brand’s tradition of precision and timeless design.

Case

The new 1815 introduces a more compact case, measuring 34mm in diameter and 6.4mm in height, a significant reduction from the previous 38.50mm by 8.80mm model. Crafted in 750 white or pink gold, the case maintains the understated elegance characteristic of the collection. The tiered bezel enhances the watch’s classic proportions, while the sapphire crystal with a transparent caseback provides a glimpse into the hand-finished movement. The crown, used for both winding the watch and setting the time, is positioned for easy handling without disrupting the sleek design.

Dial

The new 1815 models replace the previous Argenté (silvery white) dial with a striking blue 925 silver dial. Maintaining the brand’s signature aesthetic, the dial features a railway-track minute scale and Arabic numerals, both inspired by historic Lange pocket watches. The subsidiary seconds dial, positioned at 6 o’clock, adds to the watch’s balanced symmetry. Lancet-shaped hands, crafted in matching 750 gold, ensure excellent legibility while reinforcing the watch’s refined character.

Movement

The new 1815 is powered by the manually wound manufacture calibre L152.1, marking a notable evolution from the previous L051.1 movement. While the former provided a 55-hour power reserve, the new movement extends this to 72 hours, enhancing reliability and convenience. Measuring 28.1mm in diameter and 2.9mm in height, the movement features a three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver, decorated with Glashütte ribbing. The hand-engraved balance cock, four screwed gold chatons, and thermally blued screws further emphasize the artisanal craftsmanship. The oscillation system includes a shock-resistant screw balance and a superior-quality balance spring manufactured in-house, vibrating at a frequency of 21,600 semi-oscillations per hour, ensuring precise timekeeping.

Strap & Buckle

Each version of the new 1815 is fitted with a hand-stitched alligator leather strap, complementing its respective case material. The white-gold model is paired with a blue strap, while the pink-gold version features a reddish-brown strap. The polished prong buckle, crafted in 750 white or pink gold, secures the watch comfortably while maintaining the refined elegance expected from A. Lange & Söhne.

Our Opinion

The new 34mm size, which will seem small to many, is in our opinion the big trend that marks and will mark the coming years. The elegance combined with simplicity of the new ALS 1815 is superb, it is already one of our favorites in this edition of Watches And Wonders 2025, let’s hope that the future brings new tones on the dial.

Conclusion

With a more compact case, an enhanced movement, and a striking blue dial, the new 1815 models offer a fresh yet timeless take on a Lange classic. These updates reinforce the brand’s dedication to precision and tradition while refining the watch’s overall wearability.

A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus Honeygold: A Perfect Blend Of Elegance And Robustness

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Integrated Bracelet, Rose Gold, Sport Watch, Watches and Wonders 2025 0

A. Lange & Söhne’s ODYSSEUS collection sets the bar for sporty-elegant timepieces, and the new ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD edition is a stunning addition. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of active wearers while maintaining a refined aesthetic, this timepiece is the epitome of precision, luxury, and craftsmanship.

The Design: A Harmonious Balance of Form and Function

At the heart of the ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD is its striking case, crafted from A. Lange & Söhne’s exclusive honey gold. With a diameter of 40.5 millimetres and a height of 11.1 millimetres, the case is both substantial and elegantly proportioned. The case’s design is an interplay of rounded and angular elements, creating a dynamic contrast that captures the eye. The prominent displays for the date and day of the week add functionality without compromising the aesthetic.

The bezel is narrow, maximizing the size of the dial and providing a more expansive, easy-to-read face. The case also boasts brushed surfaces and chamfered edges that are echoed on the lugs and links of the bracelet, ensuring a uniform and sleek appearance. The pushers for correcting the date and day of the week are discreetly positioned, flanking the screw-down crown, further accentuating the watch’s bold and distinctive look.

Unlike the latest editions that feature a snailing pattern on the outer ring of the dial as well as the small seconds bezel, here they are presented with a fluted background, giving the ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD a more refined and timeless appeal.

A Comfortable and Versatile Bracelet

For the first time, the ODYSSEUS comes equipped with a five-row bracelet in honey gold, adding another layer of luxury to this already remarkable timepiece. The bracelet is designed for maximum comfort, seamlessly integrating into the case. A safety deployment buckle with an innovative mechanism allows the bracelet’s length to be adjusted by up to 7 millimetres with a simple press of a pusher—no need to open the buckle. This convenience ensures that the watch fits comfortably on the wrist, while individual links can also be added or removed for a more customized fit.

A Warm and Elegant Colour Palette

The ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD features a captivating brown dial that beautifully complements the honey gold case. This unique pairing enhances the overall aesthetic, with the warm hues of the dial and hands mirroring the gold’s lustrous shine. The outsize date and day-of-week numerals are presented in white, creating a high contrast against the brown dial, ensuring readability. The lancet-shaped hour and minute hands, as well as the hour markers, are coated with a luminous layer for optimal legibility in the dark.

The subsidiary seconds dial and the embossed groove structure between the hour markers further enhance the three-dimensional depth of the dial. The red number 60 on the minute scale provides a subtle yet striking pop of color, underscoring the watch’s playful, sporty character.

The Mechanical Masterpiece: Caliber L155.1 DATOMATIC

At the heart of the ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD beats the robust and reliable manufacture calibre L155.1 DATOMATIC. This movement is specifically designed to offer exceptional accuracy and durability, making it ideal for an active lifestyle. The unidirectionally winding rotor ensures efficient winding and continuous energy delivery, with a maximum power reserve of 50 hours when fully wound.

Visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback, the movement showcases the intricate and aesthetically pleasing craftsmanship A. Lange & Söhne is known for. The skeletonized rotor, partially black-rhodiumed, is crafted with a centrifugal mass made of 950 platinum, while the untreated German silver plates and bridges add a touch of traditional watchmaking artistry. The balance operates at a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (4 hertz) and is regulated with four recessed screws that help reduce turbulence, ensuring precise timekeeping.

A. Lange & Söhne’s Signature Finish

True to the brand’s commitment to excellence, the movement of the ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD is finished with the highest attention to detail. The balance is supported by a bridge rather than a cock, ensuring stability and reliability. The manually engraved wave pattern on the balance bridge is a nod to the watch’s impressive water resistance, a feature that makes the ODYSSEUS an excellent companion for a variety of activities, from diving to daily wear.

Conclusion: A Timepiece for the Modern Connoisseur

The A. Lange & Söhne ODYSSEUS HONEYGOLD is the perfect embodiment of sporty elegance. Its robust mechanics, striking design, and luxurious materials make it an extraordinary watch for the discerning connoisseur who values both performance and aesthetics. Whether for an active lifestyle or formal occasions, this timepiece stands as a testament to A. Lange & Söhne’s unrivaled craftsmanship and precision.

A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual: A Masterpiece Of Sound And Time

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2025, Limited Edition, Minute Repeater, Perpetual Calendar, Watches and Wonders 2025 0

A. Lange & Söhne once again pushes the boundaries of haute horology with the introduction of the Minute Repeater Perpetual, an exquisite timepiece that merges two of the most intricate complications in watchmaking: a minute repeater and a perpetual calendar. Encased in 950 platinum and limited to just 50 pieces, this watch is a true testament to the brand’s commitment to technical excellence and artisanal craftsmanship.

A Harmonious Blend of Sound and Mechanics

The minute repeater in this timepiece is a feat of engineering, designed to produce a crystal-clear chime that resonates with precision and clarity. When activated via the slide on the left-hand case flank, the striking mechanism delivers a low-pitched strike for the hours, a double tone for the quarter hours, and a high-pitched chime for the minutes past the last quarter.

What sets this minute repeater apart are its refined features, including pause elimination, which removes unnecessary silences between strikes. A safety device prevents activation when the crown is pulled, ensuring the mechanism is never engaged at an improper moment. Additionally, a patented hammer blocker ensures clean, singular strikes without unintended rebounds. The sapphire-crystal caseback reveals the intricate choreography of its 194-part chiming mechanism, with two meticulously hand-tuned gongs ensuring a sound that is both resonant and harmonious.

Perpetual Precision: A Calendar for Eternity

Complementing its auditory brilliance is the perpetual calendar, engineered to maintain precise date calculations for over a century. The mechanism automatically adjusts for varying month lengths and leap years, requiring manual correction only on March 1, 2100. The moon-phase display is equally impressive, deviating by just one day every 122.6 years.

True to A. Lange & Söhne’s philosophy of ease of use, all calendar functions can be adjusted simultaneously via a single corrector.

A Dial of Exceptional Craftsmanship

The timepiece features a black enamel dial, meticulously crafted in-house and framed by a 750 white gold base. This four-part dial provides a striking contrast for the signature Lange outsize date and the three subdials. At 9 o’clock, the dial displays the day of the week and a 24-hour indicator. At 3 o’clock, it houses the month and leap year display. Finally, at 6 o’clock, the small seconds and moon-phase indicator complete the composition. Further elevating the dial’s aesthetic are hand-engraved gold moons and more than 100 individually engraved stars. A circular lesene, a fine white gold border, highlights the separate sections of the dial, enhancing both elegance and legibility. Completing the design are 950 gold Lancet-shaped hands, Roman numerals, and a large date window at noon.

Case: A Platinum Masterpiece

The 950 platinum case measures 40.5mm in diameter and 12.1mm in height, featuring a polished finish that enhances its luxurious appeal. Sapphire crystal adorns both sides, providing a clear view of the intricate movement. The fluted crown at 3 o’clock bears the brand’s signature, while a slide button on the opposite side allows activation of the minute repeater. The open case back is engraved with individual numbering (00/50), marking its exclusivity. With a water resistance of 20 meters, this masterpiece combines sophistication with practicality.

The Mastery of Movement: Calibre L122.2

At the heart of this masterpiece beats the Lange manufacture calibre L122.2, a manually wound movement composed of 640 parts. The movement, visible through the sapphire-crystal caseback, features a balance cock with free-hand engraving, a precision-adjustment system with a lateral setscrew and whiplash spring, and a black-rhodiumed three-quarter plate in untreated German silver. Four screwed gold chatons enhance the elegance of the movement.

The minute repeater’s hammers, finished with an intricate black polish, create an interplay of light and shadow, reflecting only in a single direction for a mirror-like effect. Additionally, the centrifugal governor, operating at over 2,000 RPM, ensures uniform strike timing while remaining nearly silent.

Strap: A Luxurious Complement

The hand-stitched black alligator leather strap enhances the elegance of the timepiece. Secured with a deployant platinum buckle, it ensures both comfort and security on the wrist, completing the sophisticated aesthetic of this exceptional watch.

A Limited-Edition Collectible

With a case size of 40.5mm in diameter and 12.1mm in height, the Minute Repeater Perpetual sits elegantly on the wrist, secured by a hand-stitched black alligator leather strap with a deployant platinum buckle. As part of an exclusive 50-piece limited edition, this extraordinary timepiece is available only through select A. Lange & Söhne boutiques.

Conclusion

The A. Lange & Söhne Minute Repeater Perpetual is more than a watch; it is a horological symphony, a testament to centuries of craftsmanship, and a celebration of precision engineering. With its unparalleled combination of sound, timekeeping, and artistry, it stands as one of the most remarkable creations in contemporary watchmaking.

A. Lange & Söhne Marks 30 Years Of Lange 1 With Four Exclusive Limited Editions

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES, TOP STORIES 2024, Dress Watch, Limited Edition, Pink Gold, Platinum, Power Reserve, Small Seconds 0

A. Lange & Söhne is celebrating the 30th anniversary of its legendary Lange 1 watch with the release of four limited-edition models. To mark this milestone, the brand introduces two variants in Black Onyx and two in Pink Gold, each available in two sizes: the classic Lange 1 (38.5mm diameter, 10mm thick, 47mm lug-to-lug) and the smaller Little Lange 1 (36.8mm width, 9.98mm height, 43.9mm lug-to-lug).

Lange 1 and Little Lange 1: Two Elegant Variants

The key difference between these models lies in their case materials and dial colours. The first variant boasts a 950 Platinum case with a striking black onyx dial, while the second comes in 18k Pink Gold paired with a stunning blue dial. The larger versions feature a pusher at 10 o’clock, setting them apart from the smaller Little Lange 1.

On the exterior, both models maintain A. Lange & Söhne’s signature round case with a polished finish, smooth bezel, straight lugs, and sapphire crystal on both sides. A fluted crown is positioned at 3 o’clock, completing the classic design.

The Lange 1’s dial exudes timeless elegance with applied indexes and hands made from 18k gold. On the platinum models, the gold is rhodium-plated, while the pink gold versions feature matching 18k pink gold hands. An oversized sub-dial at 9 o’clock dominates the layout, displaying hours and minutes with precision. A small seconds sub-dial is positioned at 4:30, adding balance to the design. Between 2 and 4 o’clock, a power reserve indicator provides a functional and aesthetic touch, while the iconic large date window, with its double-digit display, is placed at 1 o’clock, ensuring easy legibility.

Movement: The Heart of the Lange 1

Both the Lange 1 and Little Lange 1 house the same exquisite hand-wound Caliber L121 movement. With 43 jewels and a frequency of 21,600 Vph, this movement delivers an impressive 3-day power reserve. Through the sapphire case back, collectors can appreciate the intricate craftsmanship, including German silver plates and bridges, as well as the hand-engraved balance cock—a hallmark of A. Lange & Söhne.

Luxury Straps and Limited Availability

Complementing the refined dials, the watches are paired with glossy alligator leather straps, featuring hand-stitched details and a pin buckle in the same material as the case. Each Lange 1 edition is limited to 300 pieces, while the Little Lange 1 is limited to just 150 units. Pricing for the Pink Gold Lange 1 starts at €49,800.

Our Opinion

The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 remains one of the most iconic timepieces, blending contemporary design with timeless elegance. Its clean layout, balanced complications, and meticulous craftsmanship make it a collector’s favourite. While these four-anniversary editions don’t introduce groundbreaking innovations, their exclusivity, premium materials, and craftsmanship will undoubtedly appeal to the brand’s enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Conclusion

Whether you prefer the bold Black Onyx in Platinum or the warm elegance of Pink Gold with a blue dial, the 30th-anniversary Lange 1 editions offer a perfect harmony of form, function, and luxury. Collectors eager to add one of these limited editions to their collection should act swiftly, as availability is extremely limited.

A. Lange & Söhne Debuts New Datograph In Handwerkskunst Series

Ricardo Amaral A. LANGE & SÖHNE, NEW RELEASES 2024, Chronograph, Limited Edition 0

Handwerkskunst, which in German means craftsmanship, is also an exclusive line from A. Lange & Söhne (ALS) that distinguishes rare timepieces with special engravings on the dial and movement, which began in 2011 and currently has six limited editions. The latest to join this restricted batch is the impressive Datograph which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.

The new ALS follows the design of the last Datograph Up/Down known at the time of Watches And Wonders, embracing a 41mm diameter by 13.10mm thick case crafted from 18k yellow gold with satin-brushed and polished finishes on the bezel and case back, sapphire crystal on both sides, straight lugs, fluted crown at 3 o’clock sided by two block-shaped pushers and an additional one at 10 o’clock.

The dial is a standout feature of this model, crafted from a solid gold base. It incorporates hour markers, Roman numerals, counter scales, a tachymeter inner bezel, a date window, sub-dial frames, and the brand’s lettering, all in positive relief. The dial is treated with the Tremblage technique, a first-hand-grained layer that is then coated with black rhodium, giving it a distinctive grey tone. This contrasts with the sub-dials, which are finished with standard rhodium coating for a white-silvery appearance. The watch’s set hands, including the two sub-dial hands for the 30-minute and running seconds counters, are crafted from gold.

At its heart is the In-house L951.8 hand-wound movement. It is equipped with a column wheel and a horizontal clutch for the flyback chronograph function, operating at a frequency of 18,000 vibrations per hour (Vph) and offering a power reserve of up to 60 hours. The movement’s plates and bridges are made of untreated German silver, finished with a grained surface, engraved floral pattern, and heat-blue screws, adding to the watch’s aesthetic appeal.

This exclusive timepiece is limited to just 25 units, each attached to a brown alligator leather strap with a yellow gold deployment buckle. Given its limited availability and the high level of detail involved in its creation, the price is available only upon request, emphasizing its status as a collector’s item.
