Introduced at SIHH in 2009, the Zeitwerk is one of the most coveted creations in the A. Lange & Söhne catalogue thanks to its exciting, unique design that bridges the gap between contemporary innovation and traditional craftsmanship. Boasting an unusual indication of time, the symmetrical digital-style display is in fact highly practical as the ingenious “sky bridge” layout concisely differentiates the hours and the minutes. On the reverse of the watch, the sapphire caseback flaunts the 416 beautifully finished individual components, featuring an impressive hand-engraved balance bridge that is perhaps as tastefully executed as the dial itself.

Released in yellow gold, pink gold, white gold and platinum, the Zeitwerk has given birth to a handful of models including the striking time and minute repeater. Fitted with a matte black dial, the present white gold ref. 140.029 from 2009 is further completed with its original accessories. Deemed one of the earlier examples, this wristwatch will surely garner interest from the growing community of dedicated collectors of the brand.
