The art of watchmaking

For several generations, the watchmakers of A. Lange & Söhne have pursued one goal: to craft timepieces that represent the pinnacle of international watchmaking artistry. At its Glashütte manufacture, the Maison crafts only a few thousand wristwatches per year, each endowed exclusively with proprietary movements that are lavishly decorated and twice assembled by hand. With 73 manufacture calibres developed since 1990, Lange has secured a top-tier position among the world’s finest watch Maisons.

Unforgettable masterpieces

Icons include Lange 1, the first regularly produced wristwatch with an outsize date, and the Zeitwerk, with its precisely jumping numerals. Extraordinary complications such as Zeitwerk Minute Repeater, Triple Split and Grand Complication reinforce the Maison’s credo to “never stand still”.

Introduced in 2013, the Grand Complication represents the drive of traditional watchmaking to ever-new heights. The sporty yet elegant Odysseus, introduced in 2019, marked the start of a new chapter.

  • The art of crystal-clear sound. Just like all Lange watches with a striking mechanism, the MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL is designed to superb acoustic quality standards and has a unique timbre. A lucid, clear, and reverberant sound is assured by the hand-tuned gongs that harmonise perfectly with the acoustic characteristics of platinum, the case material. The completion of a minute repeater is highly elaborate; it also calls for acute hearing and extreme dexterity. All components are carefully harmonised with one another by a Lange master watchmaker. This requires adapting, multiple disassemblies, reworking, reassembly and finally testing. To optimise the operation and functionality of the classic minute repeater, the striking mechanism was enhanced with further intricate devices, among these the pause elimination feature. It skips the pause between the hour and minute strike when no double tone must be struck for the quarter hours in the first 14 minutes after the top of the hour. #alangesoehne #langeminuterepeaterperpetual #neverstandstill #watchesandwonders2025 #WWG25
  • The Key Players of the Minute Repeater. An ingenious system of precisely choreographed racks, snails, levers, and wheels controls the 194-part minute repeater mechanism. The sapphire-crystal caseback reveals the orchestrated choreography of the key players. A clear and reverberant sound is assured when the black-polished hammers strike the differently tuned gongs. Balanced with two polished gold weights, the centrifugal governor guarantees the uniform, precisely defined cadence of the strikes. #alangesoehne #langeminuterepeaterperpetual #neverstandstill #watchesandwonders2025 #WWG25
  • A horological challenge. With the MINUTE REPEATER PERPETUAL, we once again launch a watch with a minute repeater, this time pairing it with a perpetual calendar. Each one of these complications alone represents a technical feat in itself, the combination of the two poses an even greater challenge. But as if that were not enough: our watchmakers have equipped both complications with additional sophisticated functions, among which the perpetual calendar featuring the eminently readable Lange outsize date and a pusher that jointly advances all calendar indications. #alangesoehne #langeminuterepeaterperpetual #neverstandstill #watchesandwonders2025 #WWG25
