    Originally launched in 2003, as a limited edition of 101 pieces of which the present set is number 96, The Grand Lange 1 "Luna Mundi" is delivered as a set of two watches, respectively the Luna Mundi Ursa Major and Luna Mundi Southern Cross.

    Each one of these timepieces correctly and accurately indicates the moon’s position as seen from different hemispheres, the white gold model features the Ursa Major constellation on the dial and depicts the phases of the moon as seen in the Northern Hemisphere whereas the pink gold model features the Southern Cross and depicts the phases of the moon in the Southern Hemisphere.

    Going back in history through centuries, mainly sailors and world travelers would truly notice the dramatic change of stars and constellations one can experience according to their current position. Uniquely, it is only the full and new crescents of the moon that appear symbiotically both in the northern and southern hemisphere. The present Grand Lange 1 Luna Mundi wristwatches display a true-to-life moon phases as seen on both sides of the equator which will need setting once every 122.6 years. The watch industry, being based since it’s very conception on the northern hemisphere, has long forgotten these subtle differences in hemispheres, stars and constellations. Only now, companies like A. Lange and Söhne have set quest to rectify said error, end this "northern" focus and display realistic moon phases.

    These exclusive watches are presented to you in excellent conditions, their horological and astronomical importance have set nothing but perfection on how to truly represent the skies above. Their homage, studies, and representations of the skies, that are light years away from us, is poetical and fascinating at the same time.

    The dial and case of these two watches bear the signature of A. Lange and Söhne and further compel any true connoisseur and aficionado to truly understand the opportunity that has been presented to them. Through the sapphire-glass caseback the complicated movements are visible to the owner, the representation of the Southern Cross and Ursa Major will hopefully guide their next collector into brighter days with these two timepieces in their collection.

  • 藝術家簡介

    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.
