Full-Cataloguing
• The world’s first chronograph to feature a double rattrapante
• Produced from 2004 to 2011
• Regarded as one of the greatest modern chronograph movements
• Offered as a complete collectors set
- Lange & Söhne introduced the Double Split in 2004, marking it as the world’s first double rattrapante chronograph.
- Featuring both traditional split-seconds and a split-minutes chronograph, it allows both pairs of hands to be stopped separately, with the stopped hands able to be reset to catch up with the running hands at the push of a button.
- This 43mm horological masterpiece surpasses its younger brother, the Datograph, in various ways. The movement construction is arguably the most aesthetically captivating and is immaculately finished. While the movement's thickness is substantial, this robust architecture is precisely what makes it extraordinary.
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.
