Introduced in 2000, the Langematik Anniversary Jubilee is the brainchild of none other than Günter Blümlein, with only 500 examples crafted to commemorate ten years since the reestablishment of the A. Lange & Söhne brand on December 7th, 1990. Production concluded around 2004.
To create a dial that is both flawless and true to artisanal craftsmanship, skilled enamellers go through a meticulous process encompassing over 30 different steps. Demonstrating a commitment to heritage and authenticity, the Langematik boasts distinct features such as a separately printed red numeral "XII," a chemin-de-fer style chapter ring, alpha-style blued steel hands, and a classic small seconds hand.
As the cherry on top, the watch is also equipped with Lange's patented zero-reset mechanism—allowing the reset of the second hand to zero by pulling the crown for greater time-setting accuracy. The sapphire-crystal caseback unveils the beautifully decorated in-house cal. L 921.7, showcasing a bidirectional hand-engraved micro rotor in 21K yellow gold and platinum.
In excellent overall condition and extremely comfortable to wear at 37mm diameter, this ref. 302.025 is a collectible and commemorative timepiece to own from the esteemed German manufacturer.
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.
