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 date display is among the most useful and popular additional functions of a mechanical watch. There are different formats for displaying the date. Our first watch, the LANGE 1 introduced in 1994, already featured a date that would later become a typical style element of many Lange watches: the outsize date. The then patented construction consists of two separate display elements ‒ the units disc and the tens cross. The numerals are about three times larger than those in mechanical watches of comparable dimensions. All models of the LANGE 1 watch family, including the GRAND LANGE 1 MOON PHASE, are equipped with this display. #alangesoehne #neverstandstill #lange1 #grandlange1moonphase
  • The date display is among the most useful and popular additional functions of a watch. There are different formats and types of mechanical implementation for displaying the date. For instance, the date can be indicated with a hand ‒ the classic version. An example of this type of display can be found in the traditionally oriented 1815 ANNUAL CALENDAR. #alangesoehne #neverstandstill #lange1815
  • Contemporary Interpretation. The traditional design of the 1815 featuring the characteristic railway-track minute scale is reminiscent of historic A. Lange & Söhne pocket watches. It is enhanced with contemporary facets: a blue dial and an increased power reserve of 72 hours. Now, the watch can be taken off for a whole weekend without it stopping. #alangesoehne #lange1815 #neverstandstill #watchesandwonders2025 #WWG25
