Zeitwork Acoustique, "Striking Time"

朗格,「Zeitwork Acoustique, Striking Time」型號145.029,罕有及十分重要,18K白金腕錶,配自鳴報時和報刻功能、動力儲存及跳字式數字視窗顯示,約2014年製。附錶盒和證書

A. Lange & Söhne’s Zeitwerk collection was introduced in 2009 and has been a collector’s favorite ever sense due to its sophisticated German engineering and modern design with digital display or “Time Bridge”, which was modeled after the Dresden Semper Opera House clock. The heart of the mechanism is its constant-force escapement that ensures the minutes instantaneously jump every 60 seconds. There are few mechanisms as technically advanced and manufactured, unless you add in a striking mechanism.

The "Striking Time" uses the same base movement, and the hammers are seen in the bottom portion of the dial. Unlike a minute repeating watch, this model strikes hours and quarter hours, with the left hammer striking the hour with a lower pitched tone, and the right the quarter hour with a higher pitched tone. The striking feature can be disabled through the button at the four.

Offered in excellent overall condition, the present watch is complete with original guarantee and fitted presentation box.

A. Lange & Söhne

German | 1845

Originally 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.
