German favorites A. Lange & Söhne have kept it predictably simple this year. There’s no big splash with an entirely new model, and the brand only announced to new releases. One is a simple line extension with a new blue variant of the Datograph Up/Down, but the more interesting one puts a new spin on […]
It’s the 24th of October, which is an auspicious day for Lange enthusiasts. It marks the anniversary of its rebirth (29 years today) and usually means an exciting release for the brand. As such, allow me to introduce the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater in Honeygold. Let’s start with the case material: Honeygold is A. Lange & […]
The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1 Perpetual Calendar is one of the masterpieces of haute horlogerie, as this long-term genius knows the correct length of months even in leap years. Only in 2100, when, according to the Gregorian calendar, the leap year is omitted, does the complex mechanism require manual correction. However, the challenge […]
Ask the average watch guy what the ultimate combination of complications is, without crossing into the realm of obscene, and odds are he’ll say “the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Perpetual Calendar with split-seconds chronograph.” More accurately, ask ME what the ultimate combination of complications is (for a mega daily wearer), and I would […]
There was once a world, and a world not long ago, where high-end chronograph movements were relegated to precious metal, dressy cases on alligator straps. I’m talking about the Patek and Vacheron hand-winders and of course the big boys from Lange. Then came along the likes of the Patek 5980 (and 5990) and 5968, putting […]
No one expected a watch like the A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk to come from A. Lange & Söhne. A digital watch from arguably the most prestigious and traditional watchmaker in Saxony? No way. But that’s exactly what Lange did in 2009. In the middle of the late-2000s global recession, the German watchmaker swerved all […]
The German luxury marque, A. Lange & Söhne, is located in Germany’s Ore Mountains and dwells within the elevated heights of Haute Horlogerie, crafting watches of the highest order. The eponymous firm can trace its origins to 1845, when talented watchmaker Ferdinand Adolph Lange moved from Dresden to Glashütte. Lange was given financial incentives to […]
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of wearing the A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Rattrapante Honeygold “Homage to F. A. Lange”. That magical timepiece is my grail watch. It is my unmatched Mt. Everest of watchmaking and an incredibly special version of the 1815 Rattrapante. The only thing is, there was no regular version […]
When it was first unveiled in 1994, no one had seen a watch quite like the Lange 1, with its distinct, geometrically harmonious dial. In subsequent years, the Lange 1 came to define the German brand’s pure aesthetic and impeccable technical pedigree. A resolutely contemporary looking watch, it might be surprising to learn that its […]
The A. Lange & Söhne Cabaret is one of the less loved models amongst the Lange stable of exceptional timepieces. So when it came to a special edition piece for the Lange Owners Group – a group of enthusiasts held together by serious collectors and admirers of the brand as well as other haute horology […]
