Catalogue Essay
The A. Lange & Söhne Lange 1, with its off-center time and seconds display, asymmetrically positioned large date window, and power reserve indicator at 3 o’clock, stands as one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable models from the brand. First introduced in 1994 as part of the brand’s revival under Walter Lange, the Lange 1 has since become a cornerstone of A. Lange & Söhne’s legacy and a flagship model for the Glashütte-based manufacture.
In 1997, A. Lange & Söhne introduced the Little Lange 1, a refined downsized version of the original, featuring a 36.1mm case. Over the years, the Little Lange 1 has evolved with a variety of case metals and dial materials, often paired with diamond-set bezels. Among its most notable designs are guilloché dials, such as the present example, which have added to its enduring appeal.
Released in 2014 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1, the present Little Lange 1 was part of a limited edition of just 20 pieces. Originally offered as a pair alongside a larger Lange 1, this example, numbered 17, features a striking silver guilloché dial framed by a diamond-set bezel, evoking the elegance of a sparkly sun.
Presented as part of a set with the previous lot, the Lange 1, the timepiece was accompanied also by a special numbered box, offered without reserve, for a collector seeking to reunite the pair.
Preserved in excellent, like-new condition, the present Little Lange 1 embodies the understated elegance and meticulous craftsmanship that define A. Lange & Söhne, making it a true testament to the brand’s enduring legacy.

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.
