Catalogue Essay
The Zeitwerk was first introduced in 2009 at SIHH. The Zeitwerk is one of the best examples in the lineage of the firm as a preposterous iteration of the marriage between contemporary innovation and traditional craftsmanship. With an interesting yet highly practical way of telling time through a symmetrical analog style display on the dial across what is referred to as the sky bridge, the aesthetic is pleasing. When flipped over to the rear, the excitement increases further displaying 416 beautifully finished components with an impressive hand-engraved balance bridge.
The present example features a matte black dial cased in white gold and further presented with the full set of accessories.

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.
