A. Lange & Söhne

Just last year, A. Lange & Söhne added a thin model to their Saxonia collection. Not just another thin model — at 5.9 mm in height — it is the thinnest watch ever created by the Glashütte based watchmaker. And now, the Saxonia Thin, which was originally available only in pink gold, is also available in a beautiful white gold case.

Originally launched in 2006, the Richard Lange by A. Lange & Sohne, which is an observatory chronometer (high precision timepiece originally produced for scientific work - more accurate than a typical chronometer), and was only ever produced in rose gold, yellow gold and platinum — is now available in white gold.

After the success of the Zeitwerk Luminous, which is currently still backordered around the world, A. Lange & Söhne illuminated the Grand version of its most iconic timepiece, the Lange 1. This time, its called Lumen, instead of Luminous, but the effect is the same. A smoke sapphire crystal dial allows a view into the movement, from the front side. Luminous paint was used for the markers, hands and on Lange’s patent date display. This gives the watch a totally different look.

Today, A. Lange & Söhne announced the Grand Lange 1 “Lumen.” The Lumen, not to be confused with the Grand Lange 1 Luminous, has a cool smoked sapphire crystal dial like the extremely popular Zeitwerk Luminous.

Last year, A. Lange & Söhne introduced a redesigned Grand Lange 1 with a new movement and a non-overlapping dial. The limited Grand Lange 1 Lumen features the new caliber, and its semi-transparent dial is non-overlapping like the iconic Lange 1.

Previously, the complex mechanism responsible for this unprecedented date display format remained hidden beneath the solid-silver dial. Now, with the semi-transparent sapphire crystal dial, you can see the date mechanism — and it glows in the dark. Additionally, the time and power reserve glow in the dark as well. The outer ring and the hour, minute and small second dials are made of blackened silver.

Originally introduced in 2011, the A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia Dual Time allows its wearer to easily set the local time (2nd time zone) when traveling, without unscrewing the crown — just push the push piece at 10 o’clock (to move the gold hour hand forward) or at 8 o’clock (to move the hour hand backward). It is a feature that cannot be underestimated when you are landing and the pilot tells you the local time where you have arrived and everyone is taking their wristwatch off and unscrewing the crown to set the time, and all you would have to do is hit the pusher until it reaches the correct hour, all while leaving the time at the destination where you came from — including the minutes and seconds — unaffected.

The home time, is indicated by the blued hour hand and can be set via the crown. When traveling, typically the home time is left to your home city so you can easily see what time it is at home while traveling. Additionally, there is a 24-hour day/night indicator at 12’clock, which also uses a blued hand to indicate the hour in your home city; especially useful in determining when is a good time to communicate a colleague or family member back home.

A. Lange & Söhne introduced the world's first mechanical watch that featured a constant-force escapement to achieve a precisely jumping numerals display - the Lange Zeitwerk - three years ago. It has become one of their most popular timepieces. Since then there have been a few variations, including the Lange Zeitwerk Luminous, which you can read about here. Now, they have produced a limited edition model that features a very special dial treatment. The dial in black-rhodiumed white gold features an elaborate tremblage engraving.

"The engraver manually guides a specially crafted lining burin across the surface in precisely choreo- graphed multi-directional movements. This produces a delicate and highly vivid granular texture. A formidable challenge for the engravers: The curved A. Lange & Söhne logo and the filigreed lettering of the power-reserve indicator remain standing in sharply contoured relief."
