Catalogue Essay
The Zeitwerk is one of A. Lange and Söhne’s trademark references. At the time of launch in 2009, the model was truly different than anything that was offered on the market.
The present watch, numbered 096, was produced in a limited edition series of 100 pieces. Featuring an instantaneous 'jumping hour' mechanism housed in an oversized case, the Zeitwek Phantom features a partially transparent dial, which subtly displays the numerals underneath. The firm designed this creative layout to allow the superluminova on the numerals to 'charge', before being displayed on the hour and minutes apertures.
The watch’s skeletonized caseback allows the wearer to view the Lange Calibre L043.3 in action. The observer can view the jump hour powered by a constant force escapement. The Zeitwerk Phantom is truly a marvel to admire. Presented in excellent condition, this watch retains all its original accessories and is even accompanied by an additional platinum buckle.

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.
