Catalogue Essay

Introduced at SIHH in 2009, the Zeitwerk is one of the most coveted creations in the A. Lange & Söhne catalogue, celebrated for its exciting and unique design that bridges contemporary innovation with traditional craftsmanship. The watch features an unusual indication of time, with a symmetrical digital-style display that offers practical functionality—thanks to the ingenious “sky bridge” layout, which clearly differentiates between hours and minutes. On the reverse, the sapphire caseback showcases the beautifully finished 416 individual components, highlighted by an impressive hand-engraved balance bridge that rivals the elegance of the dial itself.

Available in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold, and platinum, the Zeitwerk has inspired a variety of models, including the striking timepiece, minute repeater, and lumen versions. The present white gold ref. 140.029, released in 2014, features a matte black dial and comes complete with its original accessories. In excellent condition, this wristwatch is sure to attract interest from the growing community of dedicated collectors of the brand.

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.
