  • Catalogue Essay

    Re-established by Walter Lange in 1990, A. Lange & Söhne has been manufacturing some of the most impressive timepieces in recent times. Released in 1994, the Lange 1 epitomizes the clean aesthetics of the Saxon-based firm, achieving an iconic status over the years. Featuring an asymmetrical dial layout with a large date display, retrograde style power reserve indication and powered by the firm’s signature in-house cal. L901.0 featuring a ¾ German silver plate, the Lange 1 is an absolute success.

    In 2002, the firm launched the Lange 1 Moon Phase in a beautiful 38.5mm diameter case. Featuring moon phases positioned inside the subsidiary-seconds dial, the moon phases adds a beautiful touch of vibrancy to the dial. Having achieved an impressive accuracy of 99.988 in the reproduction of the lunar month, the feature was made possible via a complex four-wheel transmission.

    The present example Lange 1 Moon Phases in 18K pink gold from circa 2016 is very well preserved and is accompanied by its full set of accessories.

  • Artist Biography

    A. Lange & Söhne

    German • 1845

    Originally founded in 1845 by Ferdinand Adolph Lange in Glashütte, Dresden, Germany, the firm established an entire watchmaking culture and industry in Glashütte. The brand quickly became Germany's finest watchmaker, first creating dependable, easy-to-repair watches before going on to produce some of the world's finest complicated pocket watches, including Grande Sonnerie watches, tourbillon watches and Grande Complications.

    On the final day of World War II, their factories were destroyed by Russian bombers, and in 1948 the brand was confiscated by the Soviet Union. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1990, Ferdinand's great grandson Walter Lange re-established the brand with the objective to once again produce top-quality luxury watches. Now part of the Richemont Group, its original vintage and modern creations are highly coveted by collectors. Key models from the modern era include the Lange 1, Pour Le Mérite Tourbillon and the Zeitwerk.
