A. Lange & Söhne, Glashütte i/SA, "LANGE 1", Movement No. 12435, Case No. 122436, Ref. 101.021, Cal. L901.0, 189 g, 39 mm, circa 1999
A gentleman's very fine, heavy Glashuette wristwatch with Lange oversize date and power reserve indicator - with original box, certificate and operating instructions
Case: 18k gold, screwed on glazed back, 18k Lange gold bracelet with deployant clasp. Dial: silvered. Movm.: 4/5 plate movement, twin barrel, Glucydur screw balance.
Ever since the first collection of the new era was presented in 1994, the LANGE 1 has been the face of A. Lange & Söhne. Largely unchanged as regards its design, the second generation is endowed with a new manually wound calibre and a jumping outsize date. It advances instantaneously by one day at midnight and therefore always delivers a doubt-free reading.
The design of the LANGE 1 follows a coherent principle: the centres of the subsidiary seconds dial, the main dial and the outsize-date display are at the corners of an isosceles triangle. The proportions of the outsize-date display are harmonious as well: they respect the rule of the golden ratio.
