Catalogue Essay
The present iteration, sized at a perfect 38.5mm, combines rarity, aesthetics, and traditional German watchmaking in a single timepiece. Released in 2003, the Lange 1 ref. 112.049 was created as a limited edition of 100 pieces exclusively for the Singaporean retailer Sincere Fine Watches.
Encased in noble platinum, the dial of this watch is where the true magic happens. It features a distinguished and signature pattern with vertical stripes, which is further echoed in the Glashütte waves found on the movement. The dials are further finished in a two-tone fashion, showcasing a beautifully executed engine-turned guilloché pattern at the center which is an incredibly rare sight to behold in modern watchmaking.
Complete with all its accessories, this timepiece presents a remarkable opportunity to own a substantial Lange 1 that is both exclusive and highly sought after, an enticing acquisition for discerning collectors.
A. Lange & Söhne
German | 1845Originally 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.
