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 RepeaterTriple 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.

  • A. Lange & Söhne calendar watches
 
Calendar displays are among the most popular functions of a mechanical watch because of their significant practical use. Models with different calendar functions are an integral part of our collection.
 
The DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL is a typical example of a watch with a perpetual calendar developed by our manufacture. With displays for the date, day of week, month, and leap year, this calendar mechanism is engineered to such an accuracy that it only needs to be adjusted by one day in 2100. If the watch has stopped running, all calendar displays can be easily and simultaneously advanced with the pusher at 10 o’clock.
 
The timepiece featuring a flyback chronograph with a precisely jumping minute counter is powered by a manually wound 556-part movement – the calendar mechanism alone consists of 223 components.

With analogue indications for date, day of week and month as well as a moon-phase display, the 1815 ANNUAL CALENDAR is an ideal companion for every day. An elaborate mechanism automatically recognises which months have 30 and 31 days. The date must be adjusted only once a year, at the transition from the last day of February to the first day of March: it can be conveniently advanced with the corrector at 9 o’clock.
 
The calendar module measures a scant 1.4 millimetres in height, and the manually wound movement echoes this slenderness. Despite its compactness, it offers a maximum power reserve of 72 hours.

The LANGE 1 DAYMATIC features a retrograde day-of-week display. In increments of one day, the hand moves upwards from Monday to Sunday, and subsequently jumps down again to the beginning of the week. This calendar function complements the characteristic outsize date and underscores the individuality of the timepiece. Both displays can be advanced separately with push-button convenience.
 
Delivery of a constant force is assured by the lavishly finished self-winding manufacture calibre and its large central rotor extending across the entire diameter of the movement.
