Catalogue Essay
I am a huge admirer of Lange's guilloche and I find this Lange 1 to be its ultimate form, having the complex engraved pattern set crisply into the iridescent mother of pearl dial. Just as impressive is the white gold bracelet made by the legendary German jeweler Wellendorff. - Mark Cho

- 2001 marks the year A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Lange 1 Soirée to collectors, delivered in white gold with two dial variants of plain or guilloche mother-of-pearl.

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.
