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.

  • Craftsmanship made visible

Regardless of which angle it is viewed from, the newly developed 685-part manufacture calibre L225.1 is a paragon of artisanal perfection. 

On the caseback side, the tourbillon cage, tourbillon cock and the intermediate-wheel cock provide resplendent highlights. They are decorated with the elaborate black-polishing technique. Both cocks are also embellished with hand-engraved stars and a shooting star. On the dial side, the semi-transparent dial reveals technical details that are normally concealed. Hence, it offers insights into the intricately decorated components of the calendar mechanism.

  • Prominent and efficient

A central rotor, crafted from 18-carat white gold, assures efficient winding. Its black-rhodiumed central segment bears the A. Lange & Söhne signature. The external centrifugal mass in 950 platinum generates additional momentum, making a maximum power reserve of 50 hours available after only a short time on the wrist.

  • Beyond precision

The sophisticated tourbillon is revealed only at a glance through the sapphire-crystal caseback. Once a minute, the filigreed carriage rotates about its own axis, thus compensating the influence of gravity on the balance. It features the ingenious stop-seconds device for which the manufacture was granted a patent in 2008. It allows halting the tourbillon by pulling the crown and thus setting the watch with one-second accuracy.
