-The Lange 1 family of watches is undoubtedly the collection best exemplifying not only the rebirth of A. Lange & Söhne but that of Saxon watchmaking. One of the original four timepieces released in 1994 by the reborn brand, the model features all the traits A. Lange & Söhne is recognized by today with their asymmetric dial layout, oversized date aperture, small seconds, power reserve and exceptional craftsmanship. In 2003, the Grande Lange 1 was released in a larger 41.9mm diameter case, reflecting a shift in the market towards larger sized timepieces.
-In 2012, Lange refined the design reducing the diameter to a more elegant 41mm. The Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase, like the present watch, followed in 2014, powered by the updated in-house caliber L095.3, and introduced a beautifully integrated moon phase display at 12 o’clock within the signature offset time display. Offered in yellow and pink gold, as well as in platinum like the present timepiece, the platinum Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase is a “Flagship Exclusive” and still offered by the brand.
-Highly attractive, this Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase is offered for the first time by the original owner and is preserved in excellent condition, complete with its original 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.
