Catalogue Essay
- Making its important debut in 2009, the Lange Zeitwerk with digital display was not only a game changer for its creative design but also for its technical craftsmanship.
- Paying homage to the Dresden Semper Opera house clock with a five-minute digital display, the Zeitwerk’s trailblazing concept is the first mechanical wristwatch with three-disc jumping numerals mechanism, and a constant force mechanism enabling a controlled flow of energy to power the jumping hour and minute discs of the “time bridge” display.
- Symmetric in design with the balance of the UP/DOWN power reserve at 12 o’clock and the small seconds at 6 o’clock, the aesthetic is absolutely pleasing.
- Flipping over to the rear to the timepiece reveals the beloved L043.1 movement that captures collector’s hearts bearing the signature engraved balance bridge.
- Offered in an absolute unworn “new-old-stock” condition with its original protective sticker still intact. The present Zeitwerk from circa 2019 with all its original accessories is absolutely a stunning example of contemporary time keeping.

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.
