A. Lange & Söhne @ GRAND LANGE 1

A. Lange & Söhne GRAND LANGE 1 with unique assets such as the off-centre dial configuration, the outsize date, the three-day movement, and the flawless craftsmanship of its manufacture calibre, the LANGE 1 triggered a fresh breeze in the realm of precision watchmaking when it was launched 18 years ago. Since then, it has been the face of A. Lange & Söhne. Featuring a more slender silhouette and a totally new manufacture calibre, the GRAND LANGE 1 became an icon in its own right last year. For this model, Lange’s developers succeeded in preserving the 72- hour power reserve of the LANGE 1, but this time with a single mainspring barrel. This decision reduced the vertical space occupied by the movement. The characteristic dial architecture of the LANGE 1 wasproportionally transposed to the larger model. With its white-gold case and black dial, the new model variation of the GRAND LANGE 1 projects a striking personality. Thanks to luminous hands and appliques in rhodiumed gold, the time and the power reserve are highly legible even in the dark. The charismatic elegance of the new LANGE 1 family member is underscored with a black crocodile strap and a Lange prong buckle in solid white gold. The manufacture calibre L095.1 features a classic screw balance, a balance spring developed and produced in-house, the brand-typical movement architecture with a three-quarter plate made of untreated German silver and lavishly hand-decorated movement components. It is endowed with all of the characteristics that have made timepieces by A. Lange & Söhne synonymous with the apex of Saxon watchmaking artistry among connoisseurs all over the world – and timeless classics for the wrist.
